Low pressure developed along the southern mid Atlantic coast on the evening of the 23rd and then rapidly intensified as it slowly tracked northeast, south of Long Island, through the night of the 24th. The resulting surge from 36 hours of gale to storm force north to northeast winds, combined with high astronomical tides, resulted in widespread minor to moderate coastal flooding for three consecutive tidal cycles the morning of the 23d into the morning of the 24th along the southern coastal area
