Strong south to southeast winds during the day and evening on the 30th and periods of rain downed weak trees, tree limbs and wires in central and southern New Jersey, especially in the southwest part of the state. Peak wind gusts averaged 40 to 45 mph, except they reached 50 to 55 mph along the immediate coast of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The combination of the southeast winds and fresh water runoff also caused widespread minor tidal flooding during the evening high tide along the tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries on the 30th.
About 10,000 homes and businesses lost power in the southern part of the state, with most of the outages concentrated in Cumberland, Salem and Gloucester Counties. Weak trees and tree limbs were knocked down in Alloway Township (Salem County) and in Deptford, Elk, Pitman and Washington Townships in Gloucester County.
Peak wind gusts included 55 mph at Point Pleasant (Ocean County), 51 mph in Keansburg (Monmouth County), 50 mph in Barnegat (Ocean County), 43 mph in Trenton (Mercer County) and 40 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County) and Cape May (Cape May County).
The early evening high tide reached 8.59 feet above mean lower low water in Philadelphia. Minor tidal flooding starts at 8.2 feet above mean lower low water while moderate tidal flooding starts at 9.2 feet above mean lower low water.  The afternoon high tide reached 7.60 feet above mean lower low water at Reedy Point (New Castle County Delaware). Minor tidal flooding starts at 7.2 feet above mean lower low water while moderate tidal flooding starts at 8.2 feet above mean lower low water.
The strong wind was caused by the pressure difference between a high pressure system off the Eastern Seaboard and a low pressure system that moved from North Carolina north into Pennsylvania during the day on the 30th. As the initial low pressure system weakened and the frontal boundary moved closer to New Jersey, winds diminished overnight on the 30th.
