In the wake of an Arctic cold front, northwest winds increased to 20 to 35 mph with gusts locally around 50 mph. Peak wind gusts were measured up to 52 mph at the Carbondale airport, 51 mph at a mesonet site in East Cape Girardeau (Alexander County), and 48 mph at Carmi. Near Mount Vernon, a trained spotter measured a wind gust to 45 mph in the community of Scheller. The spotter reported the winds destroyed a television antenna and downed small tree limbs that were 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
