24 November 1988 (Figure 40) 



78. Forming in the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Keith slowly followed 

 a cold front across Florida on 22-23 November and continued to move to the 

 northeast into the Atlantic on 24 November. The combination of a strong 

 Canadian high pressure system and this offshore tropical storm produced storm 

 waves on the 24th. Maximum onshore winds (from north-northeast) reached 

 14 m/sec at 0208 EST on the 24th followed shortly (0400 EST) by the minimum 

 atmospheric pressure of 1010.1 mb. The maximum H,^ (Gage 111) of 2.47 m 

 ( T p =7.30 sec) was recorded at 1600 ESt. There was no precipitation.
