Strong and gusty south to southwest winds developed ahead of a strong cold front that trailed southward from a low pressure center passing north of the region. A very strong low-level jet strengthened to around 80 knots, which set the stage for both strong gradient winds and thunderstorm winds. The peak measured non-thunderstorm wind gust in southern Illinois was 53 mph at the Carbondale airport. There was a power outage from a blown transformer in Valier, just west of Benton. A tree fell onto a house in Murphysboro. Minimal damage was reported to the house.
