A severe weather outbreak impacted the mid-Atlantic from the evening of October 31 through the pre-dawn hours of November 1. A strong area of low pressure moved through the eastern Great Lakes on the 31st. Ahead of it, strong southerly flow advected an unseasonably warm and moist air mass into the mid-Atlantic. This generated enough instability, combined with extremely strong wind fields, to produce a low topped line of severe convection which tracked across the entire region. Widespread damaging wind occurred as the squall line moved through, along with a couple of short lived embedded tornadoes.
