Strong winds buffeted New Jersey during the second half of the morning and into the evening on the 3rd. Highest wind gusts averaged 50 to 55 mph and downed trees, tree limbs and caused scattered power outages. Garbage cans and tree limbs littered county roadways. The strong west winds caused water from Barnegat Bay to be spewed onto Bayview Avenue in Seaside Park (Ocean County). There was a motorcycle and trailer ban on the length of the New Jersey Turnpike.
Specific wind gusts included 55 mph in Cape May Harbor (Cape May County), 54 mph in Barnegat (Ocean County), 53 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County), 49 mph in Keansburg (Monmouth County), 48 mph in Millville (Cumberland County), 47 mph in Wrightstown (Burlington County), 44 mph in Trenton (Mercer County) and 43 mph in Deans (Middlesex County). The strong winds were caused by the pressure difference between a low pressure system that was intensifying as it was moving through the Saint Lawrence Valley and a high pressure system building toward the northeast from the Southern Plains.
