Low pressure developed during the day of March 12th along a nearly stationary front lying along the Texas Gulf coast.

Strong horizontal temperature contrasts near the front across the Gulf Coast states, plus the development of deep thunderstorms over the Gulf also added fuel to the strengthening system.

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued over 100 people from ships in distress during the storm.
