A severe weather outbreak impacted the mid-Atlantic from the evening of October 31 through the pre-dawn hours of November 1. A strong area of low pressure moved through the eastern Great Lakes on the 31st. Ahead of it, strong southerly flow advected an unseasonably warm and moist air mass into the mid-Atlantic. This generated enough instability, combined with extremely strong wind fields, to produce a low topped line of severe convection which tracked across the entire region. Widespread damaging wind occurred as the squall line moved through, along with a couple of short lived embedded tornadoes.

A National Weather Service survey team determined that
straight line winds of approximately 100 miles per hour caused damage in Wall Township near the
Monmouth Jet Center airfield. A recreational trailer was lifted
and rolled approximately 50 feet, significantly damaging
other nearby parked vehicles. Windows were blown out of several
vehicles in the parking lot of an auto repair and tire shop. The
shop building sustained substantial roof and wall collapse. Several
large structural beams were tossed over 300 feet away into a
nearby field. Roofing debris was lofted and scattered up to
approximately 0.3 miles away from the structure. A few trees were snapped and uprooted along North
Airport Road, with the remains of one snapped tree found
approximately 300 feet from its trunk. A stop sign was
bent over in the parking lot of a community building that
sustained minor cosmetic damage. As the winds crossed NJ Route
34, several wooden utility poles were snapped and felled onto the
roadway below. A few more trees were uprooted on the grounds of a
commercial business building. A piece of wooden debris from the
shop across the highway was found lodged into the side of the
business building, however the building itself did not sustain any
structural damage. From there, the damaging winds weakened as
they moved toward a densely wooded area.
