Youre going to see why we will certainly be affected with that onshore push of winds. Notice were seeing redding and 13 for philadelphia. Not until this system starts to develop later tonight through the overnight hours we start to see increase in wind gusts. This is going to be a huge problem. I certainly dont want to down play that. I want to focus all the emphasis on the snow. This is going to be a major impact. Especially for jersey shore. Tomorrow morning at 5 00 a. M. , we are seeing 41mileperhour wind gusts. I actually do think this is a little conservative. I would go with 45 to 50mileperhour wind gusts. And by tomorrow morning at 10 00 a. M. , we are seeing anywhere between 55 possibly 65mileperhour wind gusts. With that onshore plus. We have the potential for coastal flooding. Beach erosion is another big concern.

In different parts still dealing with closure. Map system looks like one of the directions has opened back up. On that southbound side of 73, may have opened back up. Going to check in with information for you, but looks like northbound side still might be closed. Either way, some delays out in winslow township in between fleming pike and Atlantic City expressway.
