Strong to locally high south winds preceded a cold frontal passage across New Jersey during the afternoon and evening of the 16th. Peak wind gusts averaged around 50 mph, with some higher gusts in southern New Jersey. The strong winds tore down some weak trees, tree limbs and wires throughout the state and caused some isolated outages. High winds though caused isolated damage in Cumberland and Gloucester Counties.

The road was closed while the debris was cleaned. In Gloucester County, high winds knocked over a light standard at the intersection of Pitman Avenue and Broadway in Pitman. Gloucester County College cancelled night classes. In Northwestern New Jersey, over 2,500 homes and businesses lost power.
