The circulation around a low pressure system moving northeast along the Eastern Seaboard and a high pressure system which begrudgingly moved away from New England produced onshore flow during the day on the 14th. This led to minor tidal flooding along tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries during the late afternoon and early evening of the 14th.  The high tide in Philadelphia reached 9.00 feet above mean lower low water. Minor tidal flooding starts at 8.2 feet above mean lower low water.

The combination of heavy rain during the evening of the 10th and prior to 10 a.m. EST on the 11th and runoff from the melting snow produced widespread poor drainage and river flooding in northern parts of New Castle County. Storm totals averaged around an inch and a half.  The Christina River at Coochs Bridge reached its 10.5 foot flood stage at 922 p.m. EST on the 10th, crested at 11.31 feet at 730 a.m. EST on the 11th and was back within bankfull at 1124 a.m. EST on the 11th. The flood damage stage for the Christina River at Coochs Bridge was raised to 10.5 feet as of December 1st to better reflect when the river would threaten homes or businesses. Flooding below this stage was confined to a couple of roads and park land. The White Clay Creek at Newark was above its 13 foot flood stage from 617 a.m. through 309 p.m. EST on the 11th.

Storm totals included 1.78 inches in Wilmington, 1.31 inches at the New Castle County Airport and 1.30 inches in Newark. The heavy rain was caused by an intense low pressure system at both the surface and aloft that developed over the Southern Plains on the 9th. The primary low pressure system moved toward the Great Lakes on the morning of the 10th while a secondary low pressure system was forming near the upper air support over the Tennessee Valley. This secondary low pressure system continued to intensify and was located over North Carolina the evening of the 10th, near Philadelphia around 7 a.m. EST on the 11th and in western Connecticut early in the evening on the 11th. This secondary low pressure system helped wring the moisture in the atmosphere from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean onto the region.   December concluded on a wet note as was all of 2003. For the state of Delaware, the statewide average precipitation total of 59.00 inches was 13.32 inches wetter than normal and the fourth wettest year on record since 1895.

The primary low pressure system moved toward the Great Lakes on the morning of the 10th while a secondary low pressure system was forming near the upper air support over the Tennessee Valley. This secondary low pressure system continued to intensify and was located over North Carolina the evening of the 10th, near Philadelphia around 7 a.m. EST on the 11th and in western Connecticut early in the evening on the 11th. This secondary low pressure system helped wring the moisture in the atmosphere from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean onto the region.
