A strong cold front moved through the area with an unusually strong low-level jet.  In fact, this was a record breaking event in terms of upper air. The 62 knot wind measured by the TAE balloon at 850 mb ties the record for the strongest 850 mb wind measured by a Tallahassee balloon for either a 00z or 12z launch. Although an inversion was present, the airmass modified quickly, and the southeast big bend (usually a severe weather report minimum in the area) had a lot of trees and power lines down.
