The pressure gradient (difference)
between an intensifying low pressure
system that moved northeast through the
Saint Lawrence Valley and a high
pressure system building east from the
Southern Plains produces strong winds
across Eastern Pennsylvania between 4
a.m. and 3 p.m. EST. Strongest wind
gusts averaged around 45 mph. In
Philadelphia, a towering sign along
Delaware Avenue was damaged by the
wind. The wind snapped a weld at the
first joint about 30 feet above the
ground and the rest of the greater than
100 foot pole was leaning visibly. A
section of a parking lot near the sign
was closed as a precaution.
Peak wind gusts included 46 mph at the

PAZ054>055 Carbon--Monroe
12 0600EST
13 0200EST
A wintry mix of snow and freezing rain
fell across the Poconos, especially in
the higher terrain of Carbon and Monroe
Counties. Precipitation started as rain
before sunrise on the 12th, but changed
over to snow around dawn. The snow
ended during the afternoon. But, when
precipitation started again during the
early evening, it fell as freezing
rain. The freezing rain changed back to
snow later that evening and ended
during the early morning of the 13th.
Since the ground was still warm, the
freezing rain mainly accrued to exposed
surfaces such as trees, wires and
bridges. Ice accretions were less than
two-tenths of an inch. Snow accumula-
tions were also on the light side, less
than one inch. This was the first
wintry precipitation event of the fall
and winter season.
A cold front moved through the North-
east on the 11th. A high pressure
system with a fresh supply of cold air
then moved east and reached northern
New England the morning of the 12th.
Another high pressure system followed
quickly behind and reinforced the cold
air near the surface. Meanwhile, a low
pressure system formed on the old cold
front in the lower Mississippi Valley
during the morning of the 11th. It
moved northeast and reached the
southern Appalachians the morning of
the 12th and was just east of Cape Cod
on the morning of the 13th. The low
pressure system brought moisture and
warmer air aloft, while the high
pressure system kept cold air (below
freezing temperatures) locked in at the
surface throughout most of this event.

A persistent upper trough to the west
of Puerto Rico and a extremely moist
low level air mass, brought numerous
showers during the period from November
12-15. On the 12 November rainfall was
already fairly impressive across the
eastern and central interior, although
the northeast quarter of the island
received 1 to 2 inch rains. Reports of
flooding were received from Tea Baja,
along the River Cibuco in Vega Alta.
Moderate to occasionally heavy rains
persisted throughout much of the 12th
under strong north to northeast surface
wins that produced substantial
orographic enhancement over the
foothills and mountains of central and
eastern Puerto Rico. Rainfall intensity
remained fairly low, but the
persistence produced impressive totals
in these areas, with 3 to 6 inches
across a huge swath of central Puerto
Rico through 8 am on 13 November. Flood
warnings were issued Rio Grande De
Arecibo, Rio Grande De Manati, Rio De
La Plata and Rio De Bayamon and
remained in effect for up to two days
in some locations. The high surf and
north winds along the coast hindered
normal discharge of rivers into the
sea, exacerbating the flood situation.
The activity continued to be widespread
and intense on 13 November. Flash Flood
Warnings were isued for 14 northeast
municipalities from Fajardo southwest
to Gurabo and Juncos. Reports of flash
flooding became more numerous
throughout the day and another Flash
Flood Warning was issued for 7
municipalities in the central mountains
in the afternoon. This warning was
extended in the evening as moderate to
heavy rainfall persisted across the
same area. Numerous landslides were
also reported at this time, especially
in Cayey, Aguas Buenas and Naranjito.
Bridges were reported overtopped,
collapsed or washed out in several
locations, including Naranjito,
Orocovis, Morovis, Aguas Buenas, Cidra,
and Utuado. Another Flash Flood Warning
was issued for Dorado and Toa Baja,
primarily in the highly saturated Rio
De La Plata basin during the evening.
24-hour rainfall ending 800 am on 14
November was very similar to the
previous day's total, with highest
amounts, in excess of 5 inches,
centered in the area around Comerio,
Aibonito and Aguas Buenas. November 14
saw little break in the rainfall
activity as the upper trough remained
stationary to the west of the island
and the very strong and moist northeast
flow continued afvecting showers across
the island. Rainfall intensity remained
moderate throughout much of this event.
Nonetheless, the persistent moderate
rainfall appears to have been ideal for
the production of landslides around the
island. Landslides covered numerous
roads and several damaged or collapsed
bridges were also reported. Around 100
pm on 14 November a landslide in
Adjuntas, Barrio Yahuecas, pushed a
vehicle with three persons into the
River Rio Blanco, causing a 28-year old
man to drown and injuring two young
women. A direct flood death occurred in
Guaynabo around the same time when a
74-year old women was reportedly swept
into the River Rio Guaynabo. Meanwhile,
Flood Warnings remained in effect for
many of the river basins draining the
northern slopes of the central
mountains. The most intense rains on 14
November occurred over the east central
and southeast parts of the island,
prompting a Flash Flood Warning for 10
municipalities in that region. During
the late afternoon overnight hours of
14 November the heaviest rains fell
across the Culebra, Vieques. Flood
Warnings along the Rio Cibuco, Rio De
La Plata, Rio Grande De Manati and Rio
Grande De Arecibo continued into 15
November, as the strong onshore flow
continued to restrict outflow of these
rivers into the Atlantic Ocean.
Rainfall amounts were much less than
previous days however, with only
isolated amounts in excess of one inch
and many locations dry for the first
time in nearly a week. River flooding
from this event was significant but
actually quite ordinary by Puerto Rico
standards and was considerably less
than during Tropical Storm Jeanne in
September 2004. The rainfall and
subsequent flooding was also somewhat
less than occurred in November 2003,
which affected a larger area and had
higher rainfall amounts. M281W, F741W

A significant heavy rainfall event
occurred across Goliad and Victoria
Counties on November 20-21, 2004. Up to
15 inches of rainfall was observed over
northern Goliad County which resulted
in Flash Flooding along Perdido,
Coleto, and Spring Creeks. Flooding
along the Garcitas Creek and Guadalupe
River also resulted from this signifi-
cant rainfall. Several high water
rescues were performed as motorists
attemped to cross flooded roadways.
Strong thunderstorms erupted along a
nearly stationary frontal boundary that
extended across south Texas from near
Cotulla to Three Rivers and Victoria
Saturday evening (Nov 20). Moist,
southerly winds off the Gulf of Mexico
in the lower levels of the atmosphere
fueled the storms along the front.
Meanwhile, in the middle to upper level
portions of the atmosphere, winds were
nearly parallel to the frontal boundary
out of the southwest. This combination
caused thunderstorms to regenerate and
train over the same areas Saturday
evening through early afternoon on
Sunday.
In all, doppler radar estimated 10 to
15 inches of rain fell in an 18 hour
period beginning Saturday afternoon
across northern Goliad County from
Charco cast to Schroeder and near
Coletto Creek Reservoir. This was con-
firmed by reliable rain gauge reports
north of Goliad. In addition, rainfall
totals across portions of northwest and
central Victoria County reached 5 to 10
inches during this period. Emergency
management in both counties reported
widespread, major flooding problems
with numerous road closers. Several
motorists were rescued as they became
stranded in rising water. County offi-
cials and a NWS Storm Survey reported
that several homes were flooded and
some bridges across northeast Goliad
County were washed out by severe flood
waters.
This rainfall led to daily rainfall
records on the 20th and 21st at the
Victoria Regional Airport. The rainfall
also pushed monthly rainfall totals
over the all time November record and
also pushed the 2004 yearly total over
the all time yearly record.
The following are observed totals from
cooperative and volunteer NWS observers
as well as the Victoria Regional ASOS
during this episode, occuring from the
late afternoon on Nov 20th through the
morning of Nov 21st:
Weesatche 3 mi S: 12.69"

On Tuesday, November 2, 2004, a
powerful upper level storm system
passed through West Texas. As a result,
the season's first measurable snowfall
occurred across West Texas mainly along
and west of the Caprock. Locally heavy
snow fell over the southwest portions
of the Panhandle and northwest South
Plains with 8 to 12 inches of snow
reported across Parmer, Castro, and
Lamb Counties including the cities of
Friona, Dimmitt, and Littlefield.
Lubbock generally received from 3 to 5
inches of snow. The heavy wet snow
caused roadways to became snow packed
and icy in many locations.
Additionally, the heavy wet snow
accumulating on trees (many which still
had their leaves) resulted in many
branches down. Some of the downed
branches fell on power lines causing
power outages.
For Lubbock, the earliest measurable
snowfall was in October 1976, when four
inches of snow fell on the 28th. This
is the first measurable snow that
Lubbock has had in November, since

A wintry mix of snow and freezing rain
fell across the Poconos, especially in
the higher terrain of Carbon and Monroe
Counties. Precipitation started as rain
before sunrise on the 12th, but changed
over to snow around dawn. The snow
ended during the afternoon. But, when
precipitation started again during the
early evening, it fell as freezing
rain. The freezing rain changed back to
snow later that evening and ended
during the early morning of the 13th.
Since the ground was still warm, the
freezing rain mainly accrued to exposed
surfaces such as trees, wires and
bridges. Ice accretions were less than
two-tenths of an inch. Snow accumula-
tions were also on the light side, less
than one inch. This was the first
wintry precipitation event of the fall
and winter season.
A cold front moved through the North-
east on the 11th. A high pressure
system with a fresh supply of cold air
then moved east and reached northern
New England the morning of the 12th.
Another high pressure system followed
quickly behind and reinforced the cold
air near the surface. Meanwhile, a low
pressure system formed on the old cold
front in the lower Mississippi Valley
during the morning of the 11th. It
moved northeast and reached the
southern Appalachians the morning of
the 12th and was just east of Cape Cod
on the morning of the 13th. The low
pressure system brought moisture and
warmer air aloft, while the high
pressure system kept cold air (below
freezing temperatures) locked in at the
surface throughout most of this event.

A strong cold front and a prolonged
flow from the Gulf of Mexico and nearby
Atlantic produced heavy rain across the
Poconos from around Midnight EST
through 10 a.m. EST on the 28th. Storm
totals of 3 to 4 inches produced
widespread poor drainage flooding. In
Carbon County, several roads were
closed in Lehighton, Franklin Township
and Lower Towamensing Township. Storm
totals included 3.96 inches in Mount
Pocono (Monroe County), 3.92 inches in
Pocono Summit (Monroe County) and 3.12
inches in Lehighton (Carbon County).
The low pressure system driving the
cold front moved northeast from the
central Mississippi Valley the morning
of the 27th, to near Green Bay,
Wisconsin at 7 p.m. EST on the 27th,
western Lake Huron at 7 a.m. EST on the
28th and then through Ontario Province,
Canada during the day on the 28th. Its
associated cold front moved east from
central Indiana at 7 p.m. EST on the

the 28th, to western Pennsylvania at 7
a.m. EST on the 28th and into eastern
New Jersey at 1 p.m. EST on the 28th.
The heavy rain ended with the passage
of the cold front. A very deep and
strong southeast to south flow preceded
the cold front. The combination of the
wind direction and speed and upslope
flow helped drop heavy rain across the
Poconos.

A strong southeast flow preceding a
cold front produced strong winds across
Eastern Pennsylvania during the first
half of the day on the 28th. The
combination of strong winds and the
heavy rain knocked down numerous trees
and power lines and caused outages. The
greatest number of outages were
concentrated in the Lehigh Valley. The
strong winds damaged the roof trusses
at the construction site of the new
Forks Township (Northampton County)
firehouse. The electrical and plumbing
work inside the unfinished fire station
was damaged when the trusses fell
inside the building. In Northampton
County, power outages occurred in Wind
Gap, Wilson, Pen Argyl, Plainfield,
Palmer, Raubsville, Lower Saucon and
Upper Mount Bethel. All power was
restored that evening. Elsewhere, in
Kintnersville (Bucks County), a tree
fell on a power substation and caused
about 600 people to lose power. Peak
wind gusts included 39 mph in Mount
Pocono (Monroe County) and at the

A persistent upper trough to the west
of Puerto Rico and a extremely moist
low level air mass, brought numerous
showers during the period from November
12-15. On the 12 November rainfall was
already fairly impressive across the
eastern and central interior, although
the northeast quarter of the island
received 1 to 2 inch rains. Reports of
flooding were received from Tea Baja,
along the River Cibuco in Vega Alta.
Moderate to occasionally heavy rains
persisted throughout much of the 12th
under strong north to northeast surface
wins that produced substantial
orographic enhancement over the
foothills and mountains of central and
eastern Puerto Rico. Rainfall intensity
remained fairly low, but the
persistence produced impressive totals
in these areas, with 3 to 6 inches
across a huge swath of central Puerto
Rico through 8 am on 13 November. Flood
warnings were issued Rio Grande De
Arecibo, Rio Grande De Manati, Rio De
La Plata and Rio De Bayamon and
remained in effect for up to two days
in some locations. The high surf and
north winds along the coast hindered
normal discharge of rivers into the
sea, exacerbating the flood situation.
The activity continued to be widespread
and intense on 13 November. Flash Flood
Warnings were isued for 14 northeast
municipalities from Fajardo southwest
to Gurabo and Juncos. Reports of flash
flooding became more numerous
throughout the day and another Flash
Flood Warning was issued for 7
municipalities in the central mountains
in the afternoon. This warning was
extended in the evening as moderate to
heavy rainfall persisted across the
same area. Numerous landslides were
also reported at this time, especially
in Cayey, Aguas Buenas and Naranjito.
Bridges were reported overtopped,
collapsed or washed out in several
locations, including Naranjito,
Orocovis, Morovis, Aguas Buenas, Cidra,
and Utuado. Another Flash Flood Warning
was issued for Dorado and Toa Baja,
primarily in the highly saturated Rio
De La Plata basin during the evening.
24-hour rainfall ending 800 am on 14
November was very similar to the
previous day's total, with highest
amounts, in excess of 5 inches,
centered in the area around Comerio,
Aibonito and Aguas Buenas. November 14
saw little break in the rainfall
activity as the upper trough remained
stationary to the west of the island
and the very strong and moist northeast
flow continued afvecting showers across
the island. Rainfall intensity remained
moderate throughout much of this event.
Nonetheless, the persistent moderate
rainfall appears to have been ideal for
the production of landslides around the
island. Landslides covered numerous
roads and several damaged or collapsed
bridges were also reported. Around 100
pm on 14 November a landslide in
Adjuntas, Barrio Yahuecas, pushed a
vehicle with three persons into the
River Rio Blanco, causing a 28-year old
man to drown and injuring two young
women. A direct flood death occurred in
Guaynabo around the same time when a
74-year old women was reportedly swept
into the River Rio Guaynabo. Meanwhile,
Flood Warnings remained in effect for
many of the river basins draining the
northern slopes of the central
mountains. The most intense rains on 14
November occurred over the east central
and southeast parts of the island,
prompting a Flash Flood Warning for 10
municipalities in that region. During
the late afternoon overnight hours of
14 November the heaviest rains fell
across the Culebra, Vieques. Flood
Warnings along the Rio Cibuco, Rio De
La Plata, Rio Grande De Manati and Rio
Grande De Arecibo continued into 15
November, as the strong onshore flow
continued to restrict outflow of these
rivers into the Atlantic Ocean.
Rainfall amounts were much less than
previous days however, with only
isolated amounts in excess of one inch
and many locations dry for the first
time in nearly a week. River flooding
from this event was significant but
actually quite ordinary by Puerto Rico
standards and was considerably less
than during Tropical Storm Jeanne in
September 2004. The rainfall and
subsequent flooding was also somewhat
less than occurred in November 2003,
which affected a larger area and had
higher rainfall amounts. M281W, F741W

Saturday evening (Nov 20). Moist,
southerly winds off the Gulf of Mexico
in the lower levels of the atmosphere
fueled the storms along the front.
Meanwhile, in the middle to upper level
portions of the atmosphere, winds were
nearly parallel to the frontal boundary
out of the southwest. This combination
caused thunderstorms to regenerate and
train over the same areas Saturday
evening through early afternoon on
Sunday.
In all, doppler radar estimated 10 to
15 inches of rain fell in an 18 hour
period beginning Saturday afternoon
across northern Goliad County from
Charco cast to Schroeder and near
Coletto Creek Reservoir. This was con-
firmed by reliable rain gauge reports
north of Goliad. In addition, rainfall
totals across portions of northwest and
central Victoria County reached 5 to 10
inches during this period. Emergency
management in both counties reported
widespread, major flooding problems
with numerous road closers. Several
motorists were rescued as they became
stranded in rising water. County offi-
cials and a NWS Storm Survey reported
that several homes were flooded and
some bridges across northeast Goliad
County were washed out by severe flood
waters.
This rainfall led to daily rainfall
records on the 20th and 21st at the
Victoria Regional Airport. The rainfall
also pushed monthly rainfall totals
over the all time November record and
also pushed the 2004 yearly total over
the all time yearly record.
The following are observed totals from
cooperative and volunteer NWS observers
as well as the Victoria Regional ASOS
during this episode, occuring from the
late afternoon on Nov 20th through the

On Tuesday, November 2, 2004, a
powerful upper level storm system
passed through West Texas. As a result,
the season's first measurable snowfall
occurred across West Texas mainly along
and west of the Caprock. Locally heavy
snow fell over the southwest portions
of the Panhandle and northwest South
Plains with 8 to 12 inches of snow
reported across Parmer, Castro, and
Lamb Counties including the cities of
Friona, Dimmitt, and Littlefield.
Lubbock generally received from 3 to 5
inches of snow. The heavy wet snow
caused roadways to became snow packed
and icy in many locations.
Additionally, the heavy wet snow
accumulating on trees (many which still
had their leaves) resulted in many
branches down. Some of the downed
branches fell on power lines causing
power outages.
For Lubbock, the earliest measurable
snowfall was in October 1976, when four
inches of snow fell on the 28th. This
is the first measurable snow that
Lubbock has had in November, since
November 7th 2000 when 4 inches was
recorded.
