A weak area of low pressure slowly intensified as it moved over coastal Maine on November 16th. Ahead of the system a northerly wind of 20 to 25 knots developed over the coastal waters, before becoming light from the south near the time of high tide. This coastal flood event coincided with the day after the King Tide, which brought some of the highest astronomical tides since 1948.
