...STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION 
SATURDAY WILL BRING STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA. SOUTHEAST TO 
SOUTH WINDS PRECEDING THIS STORM WILL AVERAGE 15 TO 25 MILES AN HOUR 
WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR, AND AFFECT MAINLY NEW 
JERSEY AND DELAWARE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY SATURDAY. 
HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE SOME 
HIGHER GUSTS, INTO THE RANGE OF 35 MILES AN HOUR.

THE HIGHEST WINDS LATER TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING MAY TURN OUT
TO BE ALONG COASTAL SECTIONS, INCLUDING THE NEW JERSEY AND
DELAWARE OCEAN FRONT AND THE RARITAN AND DELAWARE BAY BAYSHORES,
WHERE ONSHORE WINDS HAVE LESS FRICTION WHILE MOVING IN FROM OVER
THE WATER. WINDS AT THESE LOCATIONS COULD GUST TO AROUND 55 MILES
AN HOUR. A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THESE AREAS LATER
TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

ONCE THE CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES BY DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON, 
GUSTY WEST WINDS, AVERAGING 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 
MILES AN HOUR, WILL AFFECT THE ENTIRE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO 
SUNDAY.
 
GALE FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO START OVER THE THE COASTAL WATERS 
AND BAYS LATER TONIGHT AND LINGER THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

THE EXPECTED STRONG WINDS COULD DOWN TREE LIMBS, AND EVEN SOME OF 
THE WEAKER AND SHALLOW-ROOTED TREES, CAUSING ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES 
ACROSS THE REGION. IF YOU STILL HAVE FURNITURE OUTDOORS, IT MAY BE 
BEST TO BRING IT INSIDE OR BE SURE IT IS SECURED. PLEASE ALSO SECURE 
ANY HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS. BRING IN OR TIE DOWN ANY OTHER OUTDOOR 
ITEMS THAT MAY BE BLOWN AROUND BY THE GUSTY WINDS, SUCH AS GARBAGE 
CANS. MOTORISTS SHOULD EXPECT GUSTIER WINDS WHILE TRAVELING OVER 
BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, SO PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WHILE TRAVELING OVER 
THEM.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS FOR THE LATEST WEATHER 
INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY DURING RAPIDLY DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATIONS.
