Event narrative

At 210 AM EST a buoy 10 miles NNE of Provincetown reported a wind gust of 60 mph.

Wider weather episode

A mid level trough over the Appalachians produced a secondary surface low pressure near the mid-Atlantic coast. High pressure over Hudson Bay allowed low level cold air to stay in place initially. Western parts of the state received 8 to 12 inches of snow, but a coastal front kept accumulations down in eastern Rhode Island. This storm produced strong winds over land and high winds over the coastal waters.
