Strong Winds Expected to Hit Several N.J. Counties – Stay Alert!

Hey everyone, I hope you're staying safe and prepared because we’ve got some intense weather conditions heading our way. The National Weather Service has issued a high wind warning for four counties in New Jersey—Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic, and Ocean. This alert is in effect from Sunday at 10 a.m. until Monday at 6 p.m. , so if you're in these areas, take extra precautions.

Now, let’s talk about what to expect. Winds will be coming in from the west at speeds between 25 and 35 mph, with gusts reaching up to 60 mph. That’s strong enough to knock down trees and power lines, potentially causing widespread outages across the affected counties. If you’re planning to be on the road, keep in mind that travel could be dangerous, especially for high-profile vehicles like trucks, SUVs, and RVs. Strong gusts can make it difficult to keep control of your vehicle, so if you must drive, do so with extreme caution.

If you’re at home, stay on the lower levels of your house, away from windows , to avoid any risks from falling debris or shattered glass. Also, be mindful of any loose objects outside— patio furniture, garbage cans, decorations—secure them now before the wind picks up.

For those who rely on power, have flashlights, batteries, and emergency supplies ready , just in case there are outages in your area. It’s always better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

This high wind event isn't just affecting New Jersey. Virginia’s Eastern Shore counties, Accomack and Northampton, are also under a Wind Advisory from Sunday morning until evening. Winds in these areas will range from 25 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph. While slightly weaker than the N.J. warning, these conditions can still bring down tree limbs and cause scattered power outages .

Bottom line—this is a serious weather situation, so stay indoors if you can, drive cautiously if you must go out, and stay updated on local weather alerts . The winds should start dying down by Monday evening, but until then, let’s all stay safe and prepared.
