The wider storm

A potent surface low moved northeastward along a stationary front from northeast Indiana to far-southern Quebec during the wee hours through early afternoon of March 26th. Simultaneously, the trailing cold front swept eastward from near the Indiana/Ohio line to near Lake Champlain and northern Chesapeake Bay. A tight surface pressure gradient accompanying the low and rapid surface pressure rises behind the cold front contributed to damaging wind gusts across northern Ohio.
