...AN INLAND TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
TONIGHT OVER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY AS WELL AS
FOR EXTREME NORTHERN DELAWARE...

SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVENING AS TROPICAL STORM CHARLEY MOVES THROUGH DELAWARE AND NEW
JERSEY. SINCE CHARLEY IS MOVING SO RAPIDLY, THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR FOR LESS THAN SIX HOURS AS OPPOSED TO AROUND THE
TWELVE HOUR DURATION WITH TROPICAL STORM ISABEL LAST YEAR. THESE
WINDS WILL ARRIVE AS THE WEAKENING TROPICAL STORM CHARLEY MOVES UP
THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THE STORM IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE CHESAPEAKE
BAY BEFORE MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH DELAWARE AND EASTERN NEW JERSEY
TONIGHT...THEN INTO NEW ENGLAND BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE STRONGEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR...BUT
GIVEN THE WET GROUND FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINS...WIND GUSTS AROUND 40
MPH COULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING DOWN SHALLOW-ROOTED TREES IN
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY. THEREFORE THE INLAND
TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT IN THESE
AREAS.

THE WIND FORECAST IS DEPENDENT UPON THE EXACT PATH AND INTENSITY OF 
CHARLEY. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, OR TO LOCAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES ON THIS
WEATHER SITUATION.
