An upper low over the deep south opened up and rapidly crossed the western Carolinas during the evening hours of the 11th. A dry slot associated with the low overspread the region, bringing most of the rain and shower activity to an end during the afternoon hours. However, a small line of thunderstorms developed along the surface cold front over the western Upstate. The southern-most cell in the line began to exhibit mini-supercell characteristics as it moved across the upstate and into the southern foothills of North Carolina. While the storm only produced some hail over the Upstate, it spawned three tornadoes over western North Carolina.

A rapidly deepening low pressure system moved northeast from western North Carolina into eastern Pennsylvania from the evening of December 20th, into the morning of December 21st. This drove a strong southeast wind with frequent gale force gusts over the Chesapeake Bay, which allowed water to flow up the Bay during the late evening and early overnight hours. The passage of a cold front around 5-6 am EST produced an abrupt wind shift to the west, which pushed water into the inlets on the western side of the Delmarva. Due to the very strong winds, moderate to severe coastal flooding was observed across portions of Accomack county.
