Low pressure moved north through the Great Lakes. This swung a cold front slowly east into Southern New England on October 25. The front stalled over the region during the 25th before moving off to the east on the 26th. Strong low level winds brought a flow of tropical moisture ahead of the front. The strong winds aloft were brought to the surface in damaging wind gusts, with speeds reaching 45 to 55 mph. The tropical moisture was converted to heavy downpours, with storm rainfall totals rangi
