...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS, SOME WITH GUSTY WINDS ARE 
LIKELY OVERNIGHT...
...GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TO 40 MPH EXPECTED ON THURSDAY...

A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HAS
HELPED DEVELOP A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THAT
AREA. THE AIR MASS ON OUR SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS IS NOT AS
UNSTABLE AND THIS LINE HAS STARTED TO WEAKEN AND THIS TREND IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN OUR AREA OVERNIGHT. WHILE WE ARE NOT
CURRENTLY EXPECTING ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, THE STRONGER STORMS
MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAP THE VIGOROUS WINDS THAT WILL BE OCCURRING
ABOVE THE GROUND AND MIX PART OF THEM DOWN. THESE STRONGER STORMS
MIGHT STILL PRODUCE GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH AS THEY MOVE THROUGH
OVERNIGHT.

THIS LINE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE POCONOS BY ABOUT 11 PM, THE LEHIGH 
VALLEY BERKS COUNTY AND FAR NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY BETWEEN 11 PM AND 
MIDNIGHT, THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA AND THE RARITAN 
AND PASSAIC BASINS IN NEW JERSEY AROUND MIDNIGHT AND SOUTHEASTERN 
NEW JERSEY AND OUR PART OF DELMARVA BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 2 AM.

THE GUSTY WINDS WITH THE STRONGER STORMS MIGHT BRING DOWN SOME TREE 
LIMBS AND UTILITY LINES, ESPECIALLY IN PLACES WHERE TREES STILL
HAVE SOME OF THEIR LEAVES. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING
OVERNIGHT AND WATCH FOR CHANGING ROAD CONDITIONS AND SHIFTING
WINDS.
 
THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DRIVING THIS COLD FRONT WILL PULL 
DOWN THE CHILLIEST AIR OF THE FALL SEASON INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC 
STATES. A BLUSTERY NORTHWEST WIND IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY WITH 
SUSTAINED WINDS AVERAGING 20 TO 25 MPH WITH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 
MPH. THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STRONG THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND 
THE PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE WINDS WILL HELP PRUNE WEAKER LIMBS 
AND KNOCK OVER SOME SHALLOW ROOTED TREES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT
STILL HAVE LEAVES. IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE IF POSSIBLE TO NOT PARK
YOUR VEHICLE UNDERNEATH TREES OVERNIGHT OR TOMORROW.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH WITH THE SETTING SUN ON THURSDAY.
