A strong northwest flow following a cold frontal passage produced wind gusts as high as around 45 mph inland and around 50 to 55 mph along the coast of New Jersey from the evening of the 23rd into the afternoon of the 24th. The strong winds came in two spurts, one just following the cold frontal passage on the 23rd and a more prolonged and sustained period from the pre-dawn hours into the middle of the afternoon on the 24th. Winds started diminishing as a strong high pressure system came closer to the area. The strong winds knocked down weak trees limbs and power lines and also hampered firefighter efforts extinguishing wildfires. The strong winds also greatly hampered firefighters battling a house fire in Sussex County. Peak wind gusts included 56 mph in Cape May (Cape May County), 55 mph in Perth Amboy (Middlesex County), 54 mph in West Cape May and Cape May Harbor (Cape May County),  52 mph in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County), 49 mph in Tuckerton (Ocean County), 48 mph at the McGuire Air Force Base (Burlington County), 47 mph in Wantage (Sussex County), 46 mph at Harvey Cedars (Ocean County) and Sea Girt (Monmouth County) and 45 mph in Mullica (Atlantic County) and the Atlantic City International Airport.
