A surface low formed offshore southwest Florida and became a
tropical depression. The system looped anticyclonically
through southern Florida and slowly developed, moving back offshore
western Florida. Deepening further, the system
struck Cedar Key on the 16th and was whisked northeastward ahead of an
upper low. The system weakened over land
and moved along the coastal plain past Maine. The graphics below
show the storm total rainfall for the tropical depression,
with
data
provided
by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North
Carolina. The heaviest amounts fell across
eastern South Carolina to the right of the track of the low.
