What the National Weather Service wrote

Mesonet sensors in Eastern Pondera County measured high wind gusts up to 67 mph.

The wider storm

A strong pressure gradient developed along the Rocky Mountain Front, which resulted in strong, gusty winds to develop and spread across the plains. This was helped by a stable layer near the top of the mountains, which helped to promote the downward transfer of winds from mountaintop levels to the plains.
