A record or near record breaking low pressure system moved from Colorado into Nebraska in association with a very strong upper level low.  The surface pressure gradient and mixing of the boundary layer allowed for very high winds to develop.  The lowest surface pressure recorded was in Stanton county at 106 PM on the 13th when the pressure fell to 971.87 mb.  At the Dodge City airport the pressure fell to 974.6 mb with the previous record established in February of 1960 when a 974.9 mb pressure was observed.  Lower values were noted in the 1800's at Dodge City, but those numbers are suspect.
