SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
402 AM EST WED NOV 6 2002

...WINDY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN STORE FOR THE REGION...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEEPEN VERY RAPIDLY EAST OF NEW 
JERSEY TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE STEADY RAIN HAS ENDED THROUGHOUT THE 
AREA WITH MOST PLACES RECEIVING BETWEEN HALF AN INCH AND ONE INCH OF 
RAIN. SOME SCATTERED LEFTOVER SHOWERS COULD AFFECT THE REGION 
THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE AIDING THE 
DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. BE WARY OF 
SLIPPERY ROADS DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE...ESPECIALLY IN PLACES 
WHERE LEAVES HAVE ALREADY FALLEN. A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN 
EFFECT FOR LOCATIONS ALONG THE OCEAN AND RARITAN BAY THIS MORNING. 
DO NOT DRIVE ON BARRICADED ROADS. 

THE DIFFERENCE IN SURFACE PRESSURE BETWEEN THIS DEEPENING LOW AND A 
HIGH OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY WILL INCREASE WINDS THIS 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SUSTAINED WINDS SHOULD REACH BETWEEN 15 AND 
30 MPH WITH PEAK GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH. THE HIGHEST GUSTS SHOULD 
OCCUR ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SHORE. 

WINDS OF THESE SPEEDS COULD PULL DOWN SOME WEAK TREE LIMBS AND WILL 
STRIP TREES OF THEIR LEAVES ACROSS DELMARVA...SOUTHEASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. PLEASE SECURE ANY LOOSE ITEMS 
AND BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING OVER BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. WINDS 
SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT IT WILL REMAIN UNSEASONABLY 
COOL AND BRISK THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE A WARMING TREND SETS IN FOR 
THE WEEKEND.
