Event narrative
Intense low pressure combined with high astronomical tides to produce coastal flooding in Hampton. Six inches of water covered roads in the Backbay area while significant splash-over occurred along Route 1A in Hampton.
Wider weather episode
Low pressure intensified as it moved up the east coast to near Cape Cod, Massachusetts on November 27th. This allowed for gale force northeasterly winds to generate nearshore waves of 10 to 15 feet and increased storm surge values. This coastal flood event coincided with a period of high astronomical tides.
