8-9 March (Figure D5) 



6. A low-pressure system formed west of Norfolk, Va . , on 5 March, with 

 winds of 11 m/sec from the SSE. The low moved well offshore and deepened into

23-24 March (Figure D6) 



7. A low-pressure system crossed Cape Hatteras moving NE on 23 March, 

 causing NNE winds up to 14 m/sec. The low continued eastward through 24 March, 

 resulting in wave heights of over 2.5 m. 



13-14 April (Figure D7) 



8. A Canadian high-pressure system pushed a cold front past the FRF 

 on 13 April. The high moved south along the New England coast throughout

4 May (Figure D8) 



9. A low-pressure system off the Delaware coast coupled with a high 

 over western Pennsylvania resulted in northerly winds along the central 

 eastern seaboard causing storm waves at the FRF. 



8 May (Figure D9) 



10. A low which formed off the New England coast on 3 May produced 

 north winds of up to 6 m/sec and advanced slowly to the SW with ENE winds 

 increasing to 11.8 m/sec.
