The wider storm

A strong pressure gradient in advance of a cold front helped to produce strong and gusty south winds on the 18th. This resulted in multiple trees and power lines being knocked down across the area, causing a few spotty power outages. Wind gusts as high as 52 mph were measured in north Alabama.
