Strong, gusty northwest winds occurred in the wake of a departing and intensifying low pressure system during the late afternoon into the middle of the evening on the 2nd in Delaware. Peak wind gusts average 45 to 50 mph and knocked down weak trees, tree limbs and power lines and caused isolated power outages.

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
Strong, gusty northwest winds occurred in the wake of a departing and intensifying low pressure system during the late afternoon into the middle of the evening on the 2nd in Delaware. Peak wind gusts average 45 to 50 mph and knocked down weak trees, tree limbs and power lines and caused isolated power outages. Peak winds included 52 mph in Lewes (Sussex County), 50 mph in Harrington (Kent County), 47 mph at the New Castle County Airport, 47 mph at Rehoboth Beach (Sussex County), 46 mph at the Dover Air Force Base (Kent County) and Milton (Sussex County) and 40 mph in Georgetown (Sussex County). The strong winds occurred as a low pressure system south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts started to intensify more rapidly as it moved northeast on the evening of the 2nd. This increased the pressure gradient (difference) between it and an approaching high pressure system from the central Mississippi Valley. As the low pressure system approached the Canadian Maritimes during the second half of that evening, the pressure gradient weakened and winds started to slowly decrease.

NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 2, 4:00 PM EST, 1 hour earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
400 PM EST MON FEB 2 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF NANTUCKET WILL RACE OFF TO NOVA
SCOTIA LATE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD JUST TO THE SOUTH
OF OUR AREA FROM TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE, LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY WILL ADVANCE TO NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SENDING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS
OUR AREA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL INFLUENCE THE REGION FOR THE END OF
THE WEEK, FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT COLD FRONT SETTLING SOUTH THROUGH THE
AREA SUNDAY. THE NEXT AREA OF LARGE LOW PRESSURE TO MONITOR SHOULD
BE FORMING ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE CENTER HAS SHIFTED OFFSHORE TO THE COASTAL LOW
AND THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES TO OUR
NORTHEAST. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST THIS EVENING AS A
REINFORCING COLD FRONT/SURFACE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THE AREA. THIS
FRONT/TROUGH SHOULD SWING ACROSS OUR AREA BETWEEN NOW AND SUNSET AND
PROGRESS EASTWARD THROUGH THE EVENING. BEHIND IT, VERY COLD AIR WILL
PUSH INTO THE AREA, WITH TEMPERATURES EVERYWHERE FALLING BELOW
FREEZING THROUGH THE EVENING. THE COLD SHOT IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY
FREEZE LEFT OVER WATER FROM ANY MELTED SNOW AND/OR RAINFALL FROM THE
DAYTIME. WATER WILL FREEZE ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS, PARKING LOTS,
DRIVEWAYS, SIDEWALKS, ETC. THIS WILL CAUSE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR
THIS EVENING'S COMMUTE. FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE CONVERTED THE WINTER
STORM WARNINGS TO ADVISORIES AND EXPANDED THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY TO COVER ALL AREAS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
MOST OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL HAS ENDED ACROSS THE AREA. THE
EXCEPTION TO THIS IS ANY SNOWFALL THAT WILL OCCUR WITH SOME
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND/OR SQUALLS THAT OCCUR ALONG/BEHIND THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THERE REMAINS SOME RAIN ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA, SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, AND THE DELMARVA WHERE
TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING. HOWEVER, THE WARM LAYER ALOFT IS
BEGINNING TO COOL AS THE FLOW ABOVE THE SURFACE IS BECOMING
NORTH-NORTHWEST AS WELL, SO WE DO NOT EXPECT FREEZING RAIN TO BE AN
ISSUE ANYMORE. ANY RAIN SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO SNOW IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLEET POSSIBLE. THESE AREAS
PROBABLY WON'T HAVE MUCH SNOW ACCUMULATION SINCE THERE WILL BE SO
MUCH WATER ON THE GROUND; BUT THERE COULD STILL BE SOME SLUSH IF
SNOW FALLS HEAVY ENOUGH.
WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT AND STRONG WINDS, WIND CHILLS
ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS FOR CARBON AND MONROE
COUNTIES. WE HAVE ISSUED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR CARBON AND MONROE
STARTING AT 10 PM. EVEN AREAS NOT IN THE ADVISORY WILL SEE SINGLE
DIGIT TO MINUS SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILLS THROUGH THE NIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
LOW WIND CHILLS WILL CONTINUE EVERYWHERE AND THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY
WILL BE ONGOING FOR CARBON AND MONROE COUNTIES AT THE START OF THE
DAY TUESDAY, BEFORE TEMPERATURES WARM UP DURING THE MORNING. WINDS
WILL GUST AGAIN 15-20 MPH DURING THE DAY, SO IT WILL STILL FEEL COLD
AT TIMES.
WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY PRECIPITATION DURING THE DAY EVEN THOUGH A
SHORT WAVE/VORT MAX WILL SWING ACROSS THE AREA AROUND MIDDAY. IT MAY
ONLY INCREASE CLOUD COVER, SO WE'LL KEEP THE WEATHER DRY.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL, RUNNING 10-15 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
500 MB: A BRIEF PERIOD OF RIDGING ALOFT DEVELOPS BY WEDNESDAY BEFORE
A SHARPENING TROUGH MOVES FROM THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO
THE MID AND NORTH ATLANTIC COAST BY EARLY FRIDAY. RIDGING REDEVELOPS
NEXT WEEKEND BEFORE A LARGE SCALE TROUGH PROBABLY EVOLVES OVER SOUTHEAST
UNITED STATES LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK (SPLITTING FLOW).
TEMPERATURES: LAST MONTH WAS AROUND 1.5 TO 3.5 DEGREES COLDER THAN
NORMAL WITH ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION I-95 EASTWARD BUT BELOW NORMAL
FROM KRDG TO KABE AND KMPO. THE CALENDAR DAY AVERAGES STARTING WEDNESDAY
SHOULD BE NEAR NORMAL, SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THURSDAY, 10
TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FRIDAY (MAX'S 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL WITH SUBZERO COLD POTENTIAL MUCH OF THE I80 REGION THAT
FRIDAY MORNING)... THEN WARMING TO SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
SATURDAY...NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL SUNDAY.
FORECAST BASIS: UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED WITHIN THE DAILIES. THIS
FORECAST IS A 50 50 BLEND OF THE 12Z/2 MAV/MET FOR TUESDAY NIGHT-
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE 12Z/2 MEX MOS WAS APPLIED THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. THE 1523Z/2 WPC D4-8 ELEMENTS OF DEWPOINTS/WIND/SKY/POP
/MAX-MIN TEMPS WERE USED FOR THE LONGER RANGE...VIRTUALLY
VERBATIM.
THE DAILIES...
TUESDAY NIGHT -WEDNESDAY NIGHT...VARIABLE CLOUDS; A POSSIBLE PERIOD
OF SNOW SHOWERS NEAR AND NORTH OF I-80 TUE NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY
MORNING. GENERAL WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE NEXT SURGE
OF POLAR COLD. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. RADIATIONAL COLD OVER
THE SNOW COVER TUESDAY NIGHT. SOUTHWEST WIND GUST 20 MPH DURING
WED AFTERNOON SHIFT NW LATE AT NIGHT WITH LESS RADIATIONAL COLD
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS COMPARED TO TUESDAY NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IN THIS
PART OF THE FCST IS AVERAGE, BELOW AVERAGE FOR ANY SNOW.
BY THE WAY SNOWFALL NOW ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE WINTER ALONG AND
NORTH OF I-78.
THURSDAY-THURSDAY NIGHT...MONITORING THE PROGRESS OF A SUB ARCTIC
FRONTAL PASSAGE AND PROBABLY A SWATH OF LIGHT SNOW ALONG IT...ESPECIALLY
I95 SEWD. SMALL POTENTIAL ADVISORY SNOW ALTHOUGH WE DONT COUNT
THE ECMWF AS THE PRIMARY PLAYER ON EAST COAST CYCLOGENESIS SINCE
ITS BEEN BIASED A LITTLE TO THE WEST AND A TOUCH EXUBERANT FOR THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST (TELCON NCEP AND INTERNAL EXPERIENCE-ITS ALSO
BEEN A LITTLE EXTREME ON THE COLD THIS WINTER). NORTH TO NORTHWEST
WIND GUSTING 20 TO 25 MPH ADDS A SIGNIFICANT CHILL FACTOR.
FRIDAY...VERY COLD WITH LIGHT WIND AND MAX TEMPS 15 TO 20 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL AFTER MORNING MINS OVER THE SNOW COVERED NORTH POSSIBLY
BELOW ZERO! POSSIBLY THE COLDEST OF THE WINTER SO FAR...FORTUNATELY
LIGHT WIND.
NEXT SATURDAY...NICE. NOT AS COLD! SOUTHWEST WIND MAY GUST 15 TO 20
MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON.
SUNDAY-MONDAY...CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS AT THE VERY LEAST AND
WATCHING THE POSSIBLE EVOLUTION OF A SUBSTANTIAL TROUGH ALOFT
OVER THE SE USA AND THE ASSOCIATED MID ATLC COAST SFC LOW. THIS
COULD WRAP IN SOME PRETTY COLD AIR LATER MONDAY BUT CONFIDENCE IS
BELOW AVERAGE ON THE OUTCOME, INCLUDING THE ECMWF EAGERNESS TO
DEVELOP EAST COAST CYCLONES TOO FAR TO THE WEST. UNLESS THE 12Z GEFS
AND 12Z ECMWF ENSEMBLES ARE WRONG ON THE SOUTHERLY LATITUDE OF THE
TROUGH DEVELOPMENT (SPLIT FLOW SLOW MOVER) ...THIS SYSTEM DOES DESERVE
CONTINUED MONITORING AS A POTENTIAL WIDESPREAD PCPN MAKER HERE.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
TAFS ARE BEGINNING TO IMPROVE, BUT RANGE FROM IFR TO MVFR AND VFR
THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE TO ALL VFR INTO THE
EVENING. SOME LIGHT RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR EAST AND SOUTHERN NEW
JERSEY AND CENTRAL/SOUTHERN DELMARVA, BEFORE POSSIBLY CHANGING TO
SNOW. FOR EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS, AND POSSIBLY SNOW SQUALLS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.
AFTER AROUND SUNSET, ANY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END ACROSS THE
AREA.
WINDS WILL BECOME QUITE GUSTY AS LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS TO OUR
NORTHEAST THIS EVENING AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PASSES THROUGH THE
AREA. WIND GUSTS OF 30-40 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED, WITH THE STRONGEST
WINDS FROM PHL SOUTHWARD. WINDS WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT. A FEW GUSTS 15-20 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN
DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.
ANOTHER PROBLEM WILL BE THE REFREEZING OF ANY LEFTOVER WATER ON
UNTREATED SURFACES. VERY COLD AIR WILL FILTER IN BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT AND LIKELY QUICKLY FREEZE ANY WATER ON THE UNTREATED SURFACES.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT...VFR SCT-BKN AOA 10000 FT. LIGHT WIND. CONFIDENCE:
VERY HIGH.
WEDNESDAY...MOSTLY VFR, BUT SOME LOCAL MVFR/IFR RESTRICTIONS ARE
POSSIBLE IN LIGHT SNOW ALONG AND N OF I 80. SOUTHWEST WIND GUST
20 KT WED AFTERNOON SHIFT NW LATE WED NIGHT. CONFIDENCE: BELOW
AVERAGE ON ANY SNOW WEDNESDAY OR NON VFR CONDITIONS.
THURSDAY...POSSIBLE SUB-VFR IN LIGHT SNOW, ESPECIALLY THE MORNING,
OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS BY NIGHT AS SKIES CLEAR. NORTH TO NORTHWEST
GUSTS 20 TO 25 KT. CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE. UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW
MUCH SNOW WHICH EQUATES TO THE FRONT POSSIBLY SLOWING FOR A SFC
WAVE MOVING NEWD OFF THE MID ATLC COAST.
FRIDAY...VFR. LIGHT WIND. CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE.
SATURDAY...VFR CIGS ABV 8000 FT DEVELOPING. SOUTHWEST WIND
GUST 15 TO 20 KT? CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE.
&&
.MARINE...
GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AS LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS TO OUR
NORTHEAST AND A COLD FRONT SWINGS THROUGH THE AREA. WITH THE COLD
AIR AND STRONG WINDS, FREEZING SPRAY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP, SO THE
FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY REMAINS IN PLACE AS WELL.
TUESDAY...SOME SCA WIND GUSTS AND/OR SEAS MAY LAST INTO TUESDAY
MORNING, ESPECIALLY FOR THE COASTAL WATERS, BUT CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE TO SUB-SCA LEVELS BY LATE MORNING.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT...NO MARINE HEADLINES. CONFIDENCE: ABOVE AVERAGE.
WEDNESDAY...A SMALL CHANCE OF SCA. SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS NEAR 25 KT WED
AFTERNOON-EVE SHIFTING NW LATE. CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE.
THURSDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD RESULT IN SCA NORTHERLY
WIND GUSTS AND SEAS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS.
MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY DEVELOPS AT NIGHT. CONFIDENCE: ABOVE AVERAGE.
FRIDAY...SCA SEAS MAY LAST INTO FRIDAY MORNING ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST. IN ADDITION, MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY POSSIBLE DURING THE
MORNING. CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE.
SATURDAY...NO MARINE HEADLINES. CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE.
