 On October 25 , an extratropical low pressure system formed to the east of the Turks and Caicos Islands . It moved northwestward and gradually intensified , and by 1800 UTC the system transitioned into a subtropical storm . It turned to the north and later to the northeast . A burst of convection near the center allowed the storm to attain peak winds of 65 mph ( 105 km / h ) ; due to its forward motion , it is possible the surface winds reached as high as 85 mph ( 135 km / h ) . An approaching cold front caused the storm to become extratropical on October 29 , and later that day a larger extratropical storm absorbed the previously subtropical storm near Nova Scotia .
