THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS POSTED BELOW AREN'T CURRENT. THEY ARE FROM EARLIER IN THE DAY.In the wake of the late autumn storm that brought a mixed bag of precipitation to the northeastern United States
late Saturday into early yesterday, strong westerly winds and variably cloudy skies can be found regionwide
this afternoon. Winds in most locations can see gusts reaching as high as 50 MPH before diminishing tomorrow.
At this hour, Parsippany, New Jersey's wind gust is reporting 48 MPH, the highest among the observation stations
I use.
Here is the latest weather statement from the National Weather Service forecast office in Upton, New York:
STRONG WINDS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT...
A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7:00 AM EASTERN STANDARD TIME ON TUESDAY.
West to northwest winds of 25 to 35 MPH with gusts 45 to possibly 50 MPH can be expected in the wake of
rapidly deepening low pressure. These strong winds will continue into late tonight before the sustained winds
and strongest gusts begin to weaken.
A Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be 31 to 39 MPH or gusts will range between
46 and 57 MPH. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.There is a slight chance of showers or an isolated chance of a mix of rain and snow today and tonight.
It will be fair tomorrow, but an Alberta Clipper is expected to move through on Wednesday that will bring
snow showers to the area with little or no accumulation. After being near normal today, high temperatures
are expected to be below normal once again for the remainder of this week.
PLEASE NOTE:
New Brunswick, New Jersey was not used in the local/regional weather observations graphics pages,
