The wider storm

An anomalously deep surface low pressure system (980mb) lifted from the Plains to the Great Lakes through the period. This created a very strong pressure gradient across southeast Missouri, and also induced a 70-80kt low-level jet at around 850mb. As a result, southwest winds increased in the late evening of the 4th and gradually shifted to the west through the day on the 5th. The winds frequently gusted in the 35-50mph range. The strongest gust, 54mph, was measured at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport.
