Strong south winds gusted to between 40 and 50 mph, with isolated higher gusts. The highest reported gust was 52 mph at the Carbondale airport. A deep surface low pressure center moved east-northeast from the Kansas City area to northern Illinois. The strong winds occurred ahead of a surface occluded front that arced southeast from the low. The presence of a mid-level dry slot allowed sufficient solar warming for the stronger winds to mix down to the surface in the afternoon.
