...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT TODAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED A WIND 
ADVISORY FOR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND...AND 
MOST OF DELAWARE UNTIL 600 PM TODAY.

THE GRADIENT BETWEEN AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE 
NEW JERSEY COAST AT 4 AM AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST
WILL PRODUCE STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH AFTER SUNRISE, AND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SCATTERED
POWER OUTAGES AND DOWNED TREES AND BRANCHES ARE 
ALSO POSSIBLE. BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WILL BE A BYPRODUCT OF THESE
WINDS. IN ADDITION...DRIVING CONDITIONS ALREADY MADE DIFFICULT FROM
SNOW AND ICE WILL BE EVEN MORE CHALLENGING, ESPECIALLY WITH HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES. 

ANOTHER FACTOR WILL BE THE VERY LOW WIND CHILLS. AS WINDS INCREASE 
THIS MORNING, WIND CHILL VALUES WILL BE NEAR ZERO IN MANY LOCATIONS.

PEOPLE WHO FIND IT NECESSARY TO VENTURE OUTSIDE SHOULD WEAR MULTIPLE
LAYERS OF CLOTHING, GLOVES AND A HAT. LIMIT OUTDOOR TIME TO A
MINIMUM. PETS WHO ARE KEPT OUTDOORS WILL REQUIRE, AT A MINIMUM, A
STRONG AND WELL INSULATED SHELTER TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE COLD, WIND
AND SNOW, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO PLENTY OF UNFROZEN WATER. 

WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING AS THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES FURTHER AWAY FROM THE AREA.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE, OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR WEATHER UPDATES.
