An intense area of low pressure on the 1st moved into the Upper Midwest with a cold front stretched southward across the Ohio Valley all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, another cold front moved through the Northeast and settled into the Mid Atlantic region. This boundary remained stationary for a time during the overnight hours of the 1st, as the strong low pressure system moved into the western Great Lakes. Gradually an occluded front moved through the area during the morning hours of the 2nd, as a weak area of low pressure developed over eastern Pennsylvania. Strong southerly winds developed between 6:00 AM and 7:45 AM EST on the 2nd as the region got into the warm sector (south of a warm front and ahead of a cold front). Wind gusts were clocked to around 45 mph in some areas, with even localized gusts to near 55 mph along the Shore. The strong winds diminished by midday.
