The combination of a strong surface high pressure area along the U.S. east coast and a slow-moving inverted trough crossing from the Bahamas through the Straits of Florida produced a two-day duration period of numerous showers and thunderstorms containing gale-force wind gusts.  The episode ended as the inverted surface trough of low pressure passed west of the Straits of Florida.
