The wider storm

Low pressure south of eastern North Carolina combined with strong high pressure to the north produced strong onshore flow October 2nd through the 5th. These onshore winds led to locally heavy rain and significant coastal flooding in many areas. Large swells from distant Hurricane Joaquin also enhanced waves along the coast leading to very rough surf.

Began near Ocracoke Is Arpt (35.1095, -75.9679).
