A coastal low formed off of the Southeast coast on October 11 and slowly tracked north into October 13 before moving offshore. Meanwhile, a strong 1035mb area of high pressure lingered over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. This resulted in a prolonged period of strong northeast to north winds across the North Carolina coastal waters, which allowed for moderate to major coastal flooding across northeast North Carolina October 12 into October 14.
