Winds with this line of storms were in the 40 to 50 mph range with isolated pockets of winds at or above 60 mph. These storms caused scattered areas of tree damage along with several reports of power outages. In addition to the wind, these storms also produced a significant amount of lightning, especially across central Missouri. Areas of central Missouri also saw rainfall amounts in the 1" to 2.5" range. Much lighter rainfall amounts occurred along and south of the U.S. 60 corridor.
