An intense low pressure that passed east of New Jersey on the 2nd combined with an approaching high pressure system to bring strong northwest winds into Eastern Pennsylvania mainly during the late morning and early afternoon of the 2nd. Peak wind gusts averaged 45 to 50 mph. The strong winds knocked down weak trees, tree limbs and wires and caused scattered power outages. This was particularly true in southeast Pennsylvania where many trees still had leaves on them as October was unseasonably warm.  In Delaware County, a shed was tossed in Media and two vehicles were damaged by a downed tree in Havertown.  In Philadelphia, newspaper dispensers were knocked over. About 22,600 homes and businesses lost power, 20,000 in PECO Energy's service area in southeastern Pennsylvania.  Most of the outages were in Delaware and Montgomery Counties. The majority of customers had service restored the evening of the 2nd. The strong winds also caused arrival delays of about 90 minutes at Philadelphia International Airport.
Peak wind gusts included 50 mph in Bushkill Township (Northampton County),  49 mph in Lenhartsville (Berks County), 48 mph at the Philadelphia International Airport,  47 mph in Mount Pocono (Monroe County), 45 mph in West Chester (Chester County), 44 mph in Perkasie (Bucks County), 43 mph in Pottstown (Montgomery County) and 41 mph at the Lehigh Valley International Airport.
A developing low pressure over the Carolinas moved offshore on the morning of November 1st. As it passed east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina during the early evening of November 1st, the pressure gradient (difference) between it and a high pressure system in the Mississippi Valley started to increase and winds became stronger. This pressure difference over Eastern Pennsylvania maximized during the late morning of the 2nd. At 7 a.m. EST on November 2nd, the low pressure system was well east of the New Jersey coast and as it reached the coastal waters east of Massachusetts that afternoon, strong winds ceased across Eastern Pennsylvania.
