A low pressure system formed in the western Caribbean sea, crossing Cuba on May 31st. The system
strengthened as it passed through the western Bahamas, lured northward by a deep trough along the East
coast of the United States. This non-frontal cyclone continued to strengthen until it moved inland through
eastern North Carolina and Virginia, dissipating as it drifted westward through southwest Pennsylvania.
The annual tropical cyclone report for 1963, and the Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin, both acknowledged
the system was likely tropical for a portion of its track. The graphics below show the storm total rainfall
for the depression. Data was provided by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
