A strong pressure gradient developed over the region behind an area of low pressure to the east. This allowed strong northwest winds to develop across the western and south central South Dakota plains during the day. Sustained winds of 30 to 45 mph and gusts around 70 mph were recorded across the area. The high winds caused some additional tree damage after the previous week's blizzard.
