The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
Strong westerly winds were recorded early in the morning and again later in the day on the 13th across New Jersey, following a cold frontal passage. Peak wind gusts averaged between 45 and 55 mph, resulting in downed tree limbs and isolated power outages. Atlantic City Electric reported about 3,000 of its customers lost power in southern New Jersey. In addition to the power outages, a 63 mph wind gust in Hopewell Township (Cumberland County) resulted in roof damage, along with a grain silo and tractor trailer being knocked over. Other peak wind gusts included 54 mph in Red Lion (Burlington County), 53 mph in Tuckerton (Ocean County), 51 mph at the Atlantic City Marina (Atlantic County), 51 mph in Harvey Cedars (Ocean County), 50 mph in Perth Amboy (Middlesex County), 48 mph in High Point (Sussex County), 45 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County), 45 mph at Monmouth Beach (Monmouth County), and 40 mph in Morristown (Morris County). The strong westerly winds measured early in the morning accompanied an arctic cold front, and another round of higher wind gusts occurred around midday in the strong cold air advection. As the pressure gradient (difference) relaxed late in the day, the strong winds subsided from west to east across the area.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1246 AM EST FRI JAN 13 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS OUR AREA LATE TONIGHT, USHERING IN
A FRESH BATCH OF ARCTIC AIR. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
AREA LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT, BRINGING EVEN COLDER AIR TO
THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SETTLE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE EAST. A WARM
FRONT MAY LIFT ACROSS THE AREA LATE MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT,
BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT ARRIVES FROM THE WEST LATE TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THIS FRONT WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THEN HEAD OFF TO THE EAST THURSDAY AS YET ANOTHER COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
WE HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVY. THE MODELS ARE SHOWING VISUALLY A
FAIRLY TIGHT GRADIENT AND A DECENT FALL AND RISE COUPLET THAT
MOVES THROUGH OUR CWA CLOSE TO THE CFP TIME. THIS IS CONCENTRATED
MORE NORTH THAN SOUTH. WITH THE HIGHER TERRAIN EXPOSURE, WE FELT
THERE WAS ENOUGH OF AN INCREASE TO PUSH US INTO WIND ADVY
CRITERIA. FARTHER TO THE SOUTH, THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING
ADVY GUST POTENTIAL AT THE TIME OF THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AND
THEN LATER IN THE DAY ON FRIDAY IN THE GENERAL COLD AIR ADVECTION.
WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH YET TO ISSUE THE ADVY FOR OUR FAR SRN
CWA AND WILL LET THE MID SHIFT SEE THE NEXT SUITE OF MDL RUNS.
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST. ITS MID LEVEL
SUPPORT IS A ROBUST MID LEVEL LOW THAT WILL BE MOVING INTO WESTERN
PA BY DAYBREAK. THE MODELS SHOW SOME UPPER LEVEL JET SUPPORT, SOME
MID LEVEL DYNAMICS AND LOWER LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WITH THE SYSTEM.
THE FORMER TWO LOOK A BIT MORE PRIMED FOR THE NORTHWEST THAN THE
SOUTHEAST. SURFACE LI VALUES WILL RISE RAPIDLY IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
ORIENTATION AS IT CROSSES MOST OF OUR FORECAST AREA BY DAYBREAK.
ON THE OTHER HAND, LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO FALL OFF
FAIRLY RAPIDLY AT MOST LOCATIONS BEHIND THE FRONT, AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS BECOME CAPPED AT AROUND 6K FT. WE ARE FORECASTING POPS
WITH AND BEHIND THE FRONT THAT RANGE FROM LIKELY NORTH TO CHANCE
SOUTH. WE EXPECT SOME ACCUMULATION OF SNOW IN THE NORTHWESTERN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. WE DO NOT EXPECT AMOUNTS THAT REACH THE
ADVISORY CRITERION, ALTHOUGH THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT WILL TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK AT AMOUNTS AND ASSESS SOCIETAL IMPACTS.
THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS A BLEND OF THE SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER
MET AND THE MILDER MAV, AND LEAN A BIT MORE TOWARD THE COLDER
VALUES WSW THAN ENE (REMEMBER THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT). WE DO
KEEP TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE STAT GUIDANCE PRIOR TO THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE ON THE PRE-FRONTAL WARM AIR ADVECTION. IT SHOULD BE NOTED
THAT THE TEMPERATURE DROP IS EXCEEDING STAT GUIDANCE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
THE BULK OF THE ENERGY FROM THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM, WHICH LOOKS TO
LIFT BY TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA, SHOULD BE GONE BY 18Z. AFTER
THAT TIME, SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE
NORTHWEST THANKS TO THE VERY COLD FLOW OFF LAKE ERIE (THAT IS
QUITE A DISTANCE FOR ANY SNOW PLUME TO HOLD TOGETHER). WEST WINDS
PER THE GUIDANCE SHOULD REACH THE ADVISORY CRITERIA (27 KT
SUSTAINED AND/OR 40 KT GUSTS), AND SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS WILL TAKE
ANOTHER LOOK AT WHETHER AN ADVISORY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED THRUT OUR
CWA. TEMPERATURES WON'T RISE MUCH FROM OVERNIGHT LOWS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT
THAT CROSSED OUR AREA EARLY FRIDAY, WILL BE OVER EXTREME NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT. AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM
OUR REGION, THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN AND WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT. EXPECT SKIES TO PARTIALLY CLEAR
IN THE SOUTH, BUT REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
OR FLURRIES IN THE NORTH. THESE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE DAY SATURDAY AS A SECONDARY COLD FRONT DROPS DOWN FROM THE
NORTH NORTHWEST. SATURDAY WILL BE A COLD BREEZY DAY WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 20S IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TO
NEAR 40 IN OUR SOUTHERN COASTAL AREAS. WINDS WILL BE WEST TO
NORTHWEST 15 TO 25 MPH, A FAR CRY FROM THE 35 TO 40 MPH GUSTS ON
FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATER SATURDAY NIGHT
AND DOMINATE OUR WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY. SUNDAY WILL BE THE
COLDEST DAY IN THIS TIME PERIOD WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER
TEENS NORTH TO THE MID 30S SOUTH. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE COLDEST
NIGHT WITH LOWS FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS NORTH TO NEAR 20 ALONG OUR
SOUTHERN COASTAL SECTIONS. THE AIR MASS WILL BEGIN TO MODIFY MONDAY
ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 20S NORTH TO THE
LOWER 40S SOUTH. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OFF MOVE OFF
TO THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT, ALLOWING A WARM FRONT TO MOVE NORTH
ACROSS THE REGION. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST
TUESDAY, CROSSING OUR AREA LATE TUESDAY OR EARLY TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE FRONT WILL BE PRECEDED AND ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS, ALTHOUGH
THE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE EXCEEDINGLY WET. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION
WILL FALL AS RAIN, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME SNOW OR MIXED
PRECIPITATION OVER OUR NORTHERN AREAS. TUESDAY WILL BE A MILD DAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S TO MID 50S. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH BACK
INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN HEAD OFF TO
THE EAST THURSDAY. A FEW RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO
THE DAY WEDNESDAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES.
HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S TO THE MID 40S. ANOTHER FRONT
WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST THURSDAY. THE SHOWER ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT COULD MOVE INTO OUR AREA BY LATE
THURSDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 20S NORTH TO
THE LOWER 40S SOUTH.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
FOR THE OVERNIGHT WE ARE EXPECTING RAIN SHOWERS TO OVERSPREAD THE
TERMINALS. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE NORTHWEST. WITH THE INCREASING LLJ
WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT THE PREVAILING CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR
FROM THE KPHL LOCAL AIRPORTS SE AND S.
A STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE TERMINALS
PLUS OR MINUS AN HOUR OF 10Z OR 11Z. WITH A QUICK INFLUX OF COLDER
AIR, THE RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS, MOST LIKELY
AT KABE. LEAST CHANCES OF ANY PRECIPITATION TOWARD THE COAST.
SQUALLY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE POCONO AIRPORTS WITH IFR
CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE AND GUSTS SHOULD EASILY REACH
30 KTS.
AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES, VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN. THIS IS
ONE FACET OF THE TAFS THAT WE ARE MORE CONFIDENT THAN AVERAGE.
WINDS WILL ALSO REMAIN QUITE STRONG WITH GUSTS TOPPING 40KTS
POSSIBLE. ANY STRATOCU CIGS AT THE TERMINALS SHOULD BE VFR. WINDS
WILL DECREASE SOMEWHAT LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD AND THE STRATOCU
DECK SHOULD START DISSIPATING.
OUTLOOK...
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES AWAY FROM OUR REGION FRIDAY NIGHT, WINDS
WILL DIMINISH. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH JUST A CHANCE FOR A FEW
SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES IN OUR NORTHERN AREAS. SATURDAY WILL BE A
BREEZY DAY, ALTHOUGH NOT NEARLY AS BLUSTERY AS FRIDAY. WINDS
SATURDAY WILL BE W TO NW 15 TO 25 KT. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE AREA LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD BE
ACCOMPANIED BY ONLY SOME CLOUDS, ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE NORTH. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN CROSS OUR REGION
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY BRINGING FAIR WEATHER WITH GOOD
VFR FLYING CONDITIONS AND LIGHTER WINDS. THE HIGH WILL MOVE OFF TO
THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS ANOTHER FRONTAL ZONE
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
INCLEMENT WEATHER AND LOWER FLYING CONDITIONS TUESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS WILL PICK UP BEHIND THE FRONT TO GALE FORCE BY DAYBREAK AND
REMAIN THERE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. OCEAN SEAS MAY COME DOWN A
BIT FROM THEIR FAIRLY HIGH LATE AFTERNOON LEVELS, BUT SEAS ACROSS
ALL WATERS WILL RESPOND TO A WEST WIND WITH WIND GUSTS THAT ARE
EXPECTED TO BE SOLIDLY GALE FORCE.
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES FARTHER AWAY FROM OUR WATERS, THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. GALE
FORCE GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT FRIDAY
NIGHT. ADVISORY STRENGTH W TO NW GUSTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
SATURDAY AND WILL THEN DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION. THE STRONG W TO NW FLOW WILL CAUSE
WATER LEVELS TO DROP, AND BLOWOUT OR NEAR BLOWOUT CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE AT THE TIMES OF LOW TIDES THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. THE
HIGH WILL BRING RELATIVELY TRANQUIL WINDS AND SEAS TO OUR WATERS
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. AS THE HIGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST LATE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
WEST. THE W TO NW FLOW SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BECOME S TO SW
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. WINDS SPEEDS AND WAVE HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE
AS THE FRONT APPROACHES AND ADVISORY CRITERIA COULD BE MET LATE
MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WITH STRONG WEST WINDS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT, BLOWOUT OR NEAR
BLOWOUT CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR AROUND THE TIMES OF LOW TIDE FROM
MIDDAY FRIDAY TO MIDDAY SATURDAY. THIS COULD OCCUR ON ALL OF OUR
WATERS INCLUDING THE TIDAL PORTION OF THE LOWER DELAWARE RIVER.
