The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, NJ, has traded in a High Wind Warning for a Wind Advisory today, cancelling the former and instating the latter until 6 PM EST. The advisory, which impacts areas including Delaware, northeast Maryland, much of New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania, warns of "West winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph," as per the National Weather Service.
Unsecured objects should be given a second thought as these gusts could send items whirling, and tree limbs might surrender to the wind's force. With precautions in mind, it's noted that driving, specifically for vehicles that are high profile, could prove to be tricky under these windy spells. The NWS advisory specifies, "Use extra caution."
Meanwhile, the weather for the rest of the week seems to take a turn, with President's Day anticipated to be partly sunny with highs teasing the mid-30s but paired with bracing wind. The clear, albeit crisp, conditions are to carry over into Tuesday, while Wednesday introduces a chance for snow with a meager 20% probability, inching up to 40% into the night.
The likelihood of snow increases to 60% by Thursday, which may concern commuters and parents alike, thinking ahead to potential delays and disruptions. Following Thursday's snow outlook, the forecast promises a reprieve with predominantly sunny skies stretching from Friday into the weekend, culminating in a high near the low 40s come Sunday.
