High winds occurred behind a deep, occluded low on this Saturday. At daybreak, a 987 mb low was near Thedford, NE with an occluded front extending southeastward to near Beatrice to the triple point near Springfield, MO. Through the day, this low slowly migrated across the Sandhills to near Sioux City, IA by sunset. The tight pressure gradient in the western semi-circle of the low gradually enveloped the region resulting in strengthening winds. Winds were strongest from the late afternoon through the evening hours. During that time frame, northwest winds were sustained at 30 to 40 MPH, with frequent gusts between 45 and 50 MPH. Less frequent peak gusts were mostly between 55 and 65 MPH. The Ord airport measured the highest wind gust of 68 MPH, with 67 MPH measured at Cambridge, 64 MPH measured at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island, 64 MPH near Bradshaw, with 63 MPH in Hastings, 61 MPH at Pauline, and Nelson. As is typical for this part of the nation, there was very little in the way of damage or power outages. However, a single power line was reported down on the south side of Clay Center. The high winds may have been a factor in a fire that destroyed an equipment shed and a granary at a winery in Lexington. The Lexington Fire Department traced the fire back to power lines which began arching and sparking in the high winds.
