High wind speeds and heavy rainfall were common across the entire Delmarva region as the very intense storm system continued on an easterly track, and its counterclockwise winds brought copious amounts of moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. Wind gusts from the east or northeast, in excess of 60 mph, were recorded across coastal Delaware and Maryland. Sources of weather data for the storm period from specific stations are explained in Appendix B. Figure 4. Storm track for the northeaster of February 3-5, 1998.
