Still Windy, Peak Gusts Behind Us



There is no doubt that the hardest hit part of New Jersey with this wind event was Southern New Jersey. Atlantic City Electric has reported several thousand without power in various sections of their service territory throughout this event. They now have isolated pockets of a few hundred without power, but the numbers appear to be dwindling.

The wind gusts and sustained wind speeds seem to be leveling off. The current gusts on the observations are mainly between 30 and 40 MPH, just below the criteria for an advisory. The wind advisory continues. Some isolated wind gusts up to 50 MPH are still possible for the next few hours, but these will be more isolated in nature. The peak gusts were late this afternoon and early this evening when winds were gusting between 45 and 55 MPH as the front passed through.
