A strong jet stream parked over Wyoming for a couple of days. This combined with a passing cold front brought high wind to numerous locations. The strongest wind gust recorded was 111 mph at Mount Coffin. Along travel corridors, some of the notable wind gusts included 81 mph along the Chief Joseph Highway in Park County and 78 mph at Red Canyon near South Pass in Fremont County.
