The wider storm

A quick-moving clipper system in northwest flow enhanced mid-level winds which mixed to the surface during the day. These winds, along with an increased pressure gradient, produced isolated pockets of high wind east of the Continental Divide. Peak gusts between 59 and 68 mph were registered at Dubois, Crowheart, and Camp Creek RAWS in Fremont County, and at Snow Springs RAWS in Sweetwater County.
