The Eastern US is on high alert as gusts of up to 60 mph threaten to create havoc, potentially causing power outages and flight delays. As the weekend storm bids farewell, a new challenge emerges—cold and blustery conditions sweeping through New York City.
A Wind Advisory blankets the entire NYC area until 11 p.m., with tropical-storm-force wind gusts posing a significant risk. Ground delays of approximately 89 minutes at EWR and 78 minutes at LGA have already been reported due to the formidable winds. Travelers are advised to check with their airlines before embarking on their journey.
Monday is expected to be marked by strong winds and bone-chilling cold, with the peak of gusts anticipated between 1-3 PM. Brace yourself for a wind chill that could make it feel like 25°F or colder.
Caution is paramount, as these robust winds have the potential to toss around unsecured objects, creating hazardous travel conditions. Keep an eye out for downed tree limbs and the possibility of a few power outages as the Eastern USA navigates through this windy episode.
