Strong west winds followed a cold frontal passage during the afternoon and evening of the 14th in New Jersey. Peak wind gusts averaged close to 50 mph and tore down weak tree limbs and wires.  In Cumberland County, in Vineland, the strong wind tore off a ten foot by forty foot section of an old facade from a vacant downtown business building on East Landis Avenue. The building has been unoccupied since at least 2005. Peak wind gusts included 53 mph in Wantage (Sussex County), 52 mph in Pert Amboy (Middlesex County) and Brick (Ocean County), 50 mph in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County) and Barnegat (Ocean County), 48 mph in Keansburg (Monmouth County) and Hackettstown (Warren County), 47 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County), 46 mph in Lumberton (Burlington County), Morristown (Morris County) and Millville (Cumberland County). The strong winds were fueled by the pressure difference between the cold front's low pressure system that moved through New England and a high pressure system building east from the western Great Lakes. The strong winds slowly decreased overnight as the low pressure system moved farther away from New Jersey.
