Overview
A storm system impacted the region with a multitude of hazards on February 8th and 9th, 2023. Heavy rainfall amounts of 2 to 3+ inches led to flooding issues across portions of southern Illinois and southeast Missouri. Numerous Flood Advisories were in effect throughout this event. A water rescue was performed in Hamilton County, Illinois on the morning of the 9th. During the evening on February 8th, a few thunderstorms developed that produced strong winds. After midnight, what instability we had seemed to dissipate, but a line of heavier showers was able to mix down some of the stronger winds aloft allowing for scattered tree damage and power outages to occur. After the rain ended, strong gradient winds developed during the early morning and continued through the day on the 9th. Most locations observed peak wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, but there were some locations that experienced wind gusts of 55 to 60 mph. The highest observed gusts were 62 mph at Carbondale, IL and 59 mph at the Ballard County, KY Mesonet.Strong Winds
Strong gradient winds developed after midnight and continued into the day on February 9th. Some of the highest gusts were associated with the last line of heavy showers that moved through. Other locations observed their highest winds after the rain exited during the early to mid morning hours. The strong winds occurred due to a rapidly deepening low pressure system that moved from near Springfield, MO to Chicago, IL. A tight pressure gradient developed across our region and the strong winds just off the surface were able to mix down. These winds produced scattered tree damage and caused some power outages as well. At the peak, several thousands customers were without power across southern Illinois. Isolated power outages also occurred in our other three states. Here is a public information statement with the highest peak wind gusts across the region.
