...WINDY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...OUR THIRD WIND EVENT THIS WEEK...

A BALMY SOUTHWEST WIND IS PRODUCING VERY MILD CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE AREA AND SENDING TEMPERATURES ABOVE SIXTY DEGREES TODAY. THE 
SOUTHWESTERLIES ARE AHEAD OF AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT, MOVING
THROUGH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA.

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST
AND GUST UPWARDS OF 40 TO 45 MPH AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH.  

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TREES AND WIRES DOWN OVER THE PAST WEEK, AND
THIS EVENT COULD ALSO BRING TREES DOWN ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WINDS
BEGIN TO TURN FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE WEST. WINDS GENERALLY DROP
OFF TO LESS THAN TEN MILES AN HOUR BEFORE THE SHIFT, AND THEN
SUDDENLY INCREASE FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION, AND ITS THAT PERIOD WHEN
TREES ARE FELLED. SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE
COAST, AS WELL AS THE DELAWARE BAY. MARINERS ARE ADVISED TO BE AWARE
OF THE SUDDEN SHIFT AND INCREASE IN THE WINDS LATER THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. 

PEOPLE MAY WANT TO SECURE ANY OUTDOOR OBJECTS IN ADVANCE OF THE
INCREASING WINDS. TRAVEL OVER BRIDGES MAY BECOME HAZARDOUS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AFTER THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS 
FOR ANY UPDATES.
