A strong cold front approached the mid-Atlantic late on March 7. An unusually warm air mass overspread the region ahead of it, with several climate sites experiencing record high temperatures well into the 70s on the 7th. As the front approached during the evening, a line of low topped convection developed ahead of it. While instability was limited, the very strong wind fields and frontal lift allowed this line to produce widespread wind gusts of 50 to 65 mph as it moved through. This resulted in scattered to numerous reports of downed trees and power outages. The front moved offshore by late in the evening with calmer and more seasonable weather returning for the following day.
