The combination of low pressure sitting off the New Jersey coast and strong high pressure over southeast Canada resulted in persistent north or northeast winds over the Maryland Coastal Waters. These persistent north or northeast winds, along with high seas, allowed water levels to rise along the Maryland coast. Widespread minor tidal flooding was observed by late on the 10th through the 12th, as tidal anomalies continued to increase.
