February 24, 2007 · NWS AMA · 85 events in 3 counties and zones

A vigorous upper low moving across the Southern Plains States allowed a surface low pressure system north of the Oklahoma panhandle to deepen. This resulted in tightening of the pressure gradient which caused very strong west to northwesterly downsloping winds.
