A stalled frontal boundary offshore combined with strong high pressure over the region produced strong winds.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.

ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN ONGOING WIND ADVISORIES FOR
COASTAL COUNTIES FOR THE ONGOING POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS 40-45 MPH.
MEANWHILE...EARLY SUNDAY EVENING...LOW LEVEL CLOUDS HAD OVERSPREAD
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
FOLLOW ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN/COASTAL COUNTIES PER OFFSHORE
RADAR TRENDS AND LATEST GUIDANCE.

CONVERGENCE IS GREATEST. WIND GUSTS UP TO 20-25 MPH WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE COASTLINE WHERE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS
PINCHED BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW TO THE NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE AREA. OVERALL...HIGH TEMPS WILL REMAIN COOL UNDER THE WEDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S OVER SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA TO AROUND 70 OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. OVERNIGHT LOWS

RELATIVELY WARMER LAKE WATERS. THUS...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY MAY BE
NEEDED MONDAY MORNING INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY WARM AND DRY AS
WEAK MID LVL RIDGING OCCURS FROM THE WEST WHILE SFC HIGH PRESSURE
SLIDES EAST AND THEN OFFSHORE. 1000-850MB THICKNESSES FAVOR HIGH
TEMPS IN THE LOW/MID 70S ON TUESDAY...THEN UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S
WELL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT ON WEDNESDAY AS NORTHEAST WINDS BECOME
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE. TEMPS

ON HOW QUICKLY MOISTURE RETURNS. THERE IS MORE MODEL DISAGREEMENT
FOR THE WEEKEND WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A MUCH STRONGER/FARTHER SOUTH
UPPER TROUGH AND THUS MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS OUR AREA. FOR

BETWEEN A DEEPENING SFC LOW OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST AND HIGH
PRESSURE INLAND. COLD AIR ADVECTION FROM THE NORTH/NORTHWEST ALONG
