...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...
...AVOID PARKING VEHICLES UNDERNEATH TREES IF POSSIBLE...

AN INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER LAKE ONTARIO LATE THIS MORNING 
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY THIS 
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW WILL 
CROSS OUR ENTIRE REGION AROUND NOON. STRONG SOUTH WINDS PRECEDING
THIS FRONT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY EVEN STRONGER WEST WINDS BEHIND THIS
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS FROM THE WEST SHOULD INCREASE
TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH. GUSTS TO AROUND 55 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE OVER SOME OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NORTHEAST
PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY. 

THE COMBINATION OF THE WINDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS COUPLED WITH THE 
RECENT HEAVY RAIN HAVE MADE SHALLOW ROOTED TREES IN OUR REGION VERY 
SUSCEPTIBLE TO BEING KNOCKED DOWN. EXPECT SOME POWER OUTAGES. IF
THESE WINDS COME TO FRUITION, TREES WILL BE KNOCKED DOWN AND ALONG
WITH THEM WILL COME POWER LINES. OTHER LOOSE OBJECTS SUCH AS GARBAGE
AND RECYCLING PAILS WILL BE TOSSED AS IF THEY WERE LEAVES. 
 
IF YOU LIVE ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, EASTERN 
MARYLAND OR DELAWARE YOU ARE URGED TO HAVE PREPARATIONS DONE FOR 
THESE STRONG WINDS. BY NOW SECURE ANY LOOSE OUTDOOR OBJECTS, LIKE 
TRASH CANS OR HOLIDAY DECORATIONS. IF POSSIBLE DO NOT PARK YOUR 
VEHICLE OR CONGREGATE UNDER TREES. YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE STORM AND KEEP YOU 
INFORMED BY NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR OUR WEB SITE.
