Weekend Storms Threaten Widespread Wind Damage in Northeastern U.S.

The National Weather Service has expanded the severe thunderstorm threat to include all of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, with damaging winds and the possibility of an isolated tornado. Wind advisories have been issued for most of central and southern New Jersey, with gusts up to 50 mph. The stormy weather is expected to come in two waves, with the second round posing a higher risk of severe thunderstorms due to warming temperatures.
