An upper low closed off in the Gulf of Mexico, spurring the development of a tropical depression in
the Florida Straits. The depression moved northward around the east side of the upper level low, moving
into the Florida panhandle through the Southeast into the Ohio Valley. The system turned eastward as it
entered the main belt of the westerlies. A shortwave led to the system becoming a significant extratropical
cyclone offshore the Canadian Maritimes. The graphics below show the storm total rainfall for the tropical
depression...data was provided by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, NC.
