A vigorous low in the mid levels of the atmosphere raced out of the central Rockies and became even stronger as it moved into the upper Midwest. As a result, the surface pressure gradient increased across the region. A cold front swept rapidly eastward during the early morning hours, causing winds to shift into the west and increase even further. Peak wind gusts were measured from 40 to 50 mph at most locations. The highest measured gust was 53 mph at a mesonet site in the Mississippi Valley near Grand Tower in Jackson County.
