First alert meteorologist steve has the timing on the winds and how it will impact your neighborhood and this could throw a wrench in the sunday plans. We have the philadelphia marathon and it does look windy. And in fact our entire region will see the strong wind gusts on the order of 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour. When will it occur, between lets say 4 00 a. M. Through 4 00 p. M. And lets say 7 00 a. M. To 1 00 p. M.
