Low pressure developed off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia as a potent upper level disturbance moved across the region. Moderate to heavy rains fell across the area, bringing much needed rainfall to some drought stricken areas. The pressure gradient between the area of low pressure and a wedge of high pressure across the piedmont of South Carolina and Georgia, associated with strong cold air damming, produced strong winds along the coast.
