The wider storm

An anomalously deep surface low pressure system over the central Plains created a very strong pressure gradient across western Kentucky. From mid-morning to mid-afternoon south southeast winds gusted 35 to 45 mph over most of west Kentucky. The strongest winds, 40-46 mph, were focused near the Ohio River from Paducah to Henderson. The strong winds resulted in some damage in the Lone Oak area of McCracken County, where a few trees were blown down into power lines in the early afternoon.
