The wider storm

An anomalously deep surface low pressure system (980mb) lifted from the Plains to the Great Lakes through the day. This created a very strong pressure gradient across west Kentucky, and also induced a 70-80kt low-level jet at around 850mb. As a result, southwest winds increased in the pre-dawn hours and gradually shifted to the west through the day. The winds frequently gusted in the 35-50mph range. The strongest gust, 52mph, was measured in the morning at Fort Campbell (KHOP).
