A strong cold front moved through New Jersey around daybreak on the 13th. As its associated low pressure system intensified quickly as it moved into the Canadian Maritimes, northwest winds increased and peak wind gusts reached between 35 and 45 mph in most places. However, at coastal areas, peak wind gusts reached as high as 58 mph. The high winds tore down several trees around Noon EST and knocked out power to about 1,000 Conectiv Energy customers in Linwood and Somers Point (Atlantic County). Power was restored in about an hour. Peak wind gusts included 58 mph in Barnegat (Ocean County), 51 mph in Keansburg (Monmouth County), 48 mph in Belmar (Monmouth County), 47 mph in Point Pleasant (Ocean County), 45 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport, 43 mph in Millville (Cumberland County) and Trenton (Mercer County), 41 mph in Cape May  (Cape May County) and Wrightstown (Burlington County) and 37 mph in Stewartsville (Warren County) and Somerville (Somerset County).
