#Tristatewx #ILwx #MOwx #KYwx #TNwx April 12, 2024. What a pressure gradient. Those black lines are equal lines of barometric pressure. Also called isobars. Tightly packed isobars produce strong and gusty winds. This is why it has been so windy over the past 24 hours. This was the system that brought widespread rain to the region over the past few days.

@BeauDodson Gusts have been 30-40mph in my area. Typically with a gradient that strong, the winds would be more 45-55MPH. Wonder what’s holding them back?
