The wider storm

A coastal low formed off of the Southeast coast on October 11 and slowly tracked north into October 13 before moving offshore. Meanwhile, a strong area of high pressure lingered over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. This resulted in a prolonged period of strong northeast winds across the Maryland Beaches on October 12.
