...HIGH WIND WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

* WINDS...NORTHEAST TO NORTH AT 35 TO 45 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 55 TO
  65 MPH ARE ANTICIPATED MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THESE WINDS MAY THEN
  SHIFT TO THE WEST LATE MONDAY AS THE STORM MOVES ACROSS OUR
  AREA. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOCAL WIND GUSTS TO 75
  MPH, MAINLY ALONG THE IMMEDIATE NEW JERSEY COAST.

* TIMING...THE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE IMMEDIATE ATLANTIC 
  COAST INLAND DURING SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS 
  ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR DURING MONDAY.

* IMPACTS...A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HIGH WINDS WILL INCREASE THE
  POTENTIAL FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, DOWNED TREES AND POWER OUTAGES.
  THE COMBINATION OF THE WIND, INCREASINGLY SOFTENED GROUND, AND
  MANY TREES STILL WITH LOTS OF LEAVES, COULD RESULT IN WIDESPREAD
  POWER OUTAGES MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TREES COULD BE COMPLETELY
  UPROOTED AND MANY TREE LIMBS BROKEN. POWER OUTAGES MAY BE OF
  LONG DURATION.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HAZARDOUS
HIGH WIND EVENT. SUSTAINED WINDS OF AT LEAST 40 MPH, OR GUSTS OF
58 MPH OR STRONGER MAY OCCUR. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS, AND SECURE OR BRING IN ITEMS THAT COULD BE TOSSED AROUND
IN THE HIGH WINDS.
