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

* WINDS.NORTHEAST TO NO. AT 35 TO 45 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 55 TO
65 MPH ARE ANTICIPATED MON & TUESDAY. THESE WINDS MAY THEN
SHIFT TO THE WEST LATE MON AS THE STORM MOVES ACROSS OUR
AREA. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOCAL WIND GUSTS TO 75
MPH, MAINLY ALONG THE IMMEDIATE NJ COAST.

* TIMING.THE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE IMMEDIATE ATLANTIC
COAST INLAND DURING SUN 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 & POWER OUTAGES.
THE COMBINATION OF THE WIND, INCREASINGLY SOFTENED GROUND, AND
MANY TREES STILL WITH LOTS OF LEAVES, COULD RESULT IN WIDESPREAD
POWER OUTAGES MON & TUESDAY. TREES COULD BE COMPLETELY
UPROOTED & 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, & SECURE OR BRING IN ITEMS THAT COULD BE TOSSED AROUND
IN THE HIGH WINDS.
