Strong west winds followed in the wake of the departing low pressure system during the day on the 22nd in New Jersey. Peak wind gusts averaged around 45 mph inland and around 50 mph along the coast and knocked down additional weak trees, tree limbs and wires. Peak wind gusts included 53 mph in Cape May (Cape May County), 51 mph in Brick and Tuckerton (Ocean County), 50 mph at High Point (Sussex County), 48 mph in Eatontown (Monmouth County), 47 mph in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County) and Monmouth Beach (Monmouth County), 45 mph in Perth Amboy (Middlesex County) and Woodbine (Cape May County) and 43 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County) and Millville (Cumberland County). The strong winds were caused by the pressure difference between the departing intense low pressure system as moved northeast along the Saint Lawrence River and an approaching high pressure system from the Mississippi Valley.
