==Synoptic evolution==
A shortwave moved through the southern stream of the polar jet of the Westerlies, dropping temperatures in its wake across the southeast [[United States]]. [[Cyclogenesis]] spurred a developing surface [[cyclone]] which quickly occluded. Surface pressure gradient between this cyclone and a sprawling high stretching around its periphery from [[New England]] into the [[Deep South]] led to strong winds in the Carolinas. The cyclone deepened to a central pressure of 999 [[hPa]] before swinging westward into the [[Outer Banks]] of [[North Carolina]] on [[November 22]]. At this time, a trio of upper-level shortwaves were rotating around the main closed cyclone aloft, which spurred development of a new low pressure center which moved offshore the Mid-Atlantic later on [[November 22]] and then proceded towards [[New England]] late on [[November 23]]. This cyclone was much weaker, and its effects for the [[Mid-Atlantic States]] and New England states were less significant than seen in the Carolinas.
