Tomorrow looks horrid. 1-2" of rain and 50+ mph wind gusts. Not buying into anything higher than 50-55 mph right now but even that is quite windy

I think the Euro is probably too widespread with 75mph winds, probably more isolated for those gusts. Definitely all models support for 60-70 mph wind gusts though

Huh, thats 010z Tuesday which is what 5am? I thought this was only a monday thing?

I think that's just the max gust through that time, it definitely happens earlier than the timestamp here. Probably just a later time to show high gusts in New England also

JMAN - IF this comes to fruition this is going to rival some of SAndy's winds (NOT SAYING THIS IS SANDY!!)

our highest gusts during Sandy were 90MPH...crazy if it comes to frutition...HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE SAFE AND WELL and you are enjoying virtual teaching.

Hope this day finds everyone safe and happy with there families. Happy Easter

Torrential Rain, damaging tropical force wind gusts and thunder? What’s not to like about tomorrow morning? Ugh. Lol. Annndd. . . The NAM and GFS still showing a period of snow Wednesday morning.

Wow HRRR has 110kt 850mb winds over the area for a time period....thats nuts if true, easily 70mph gusts if not higher.

Looks like winds may bust with this

Rain is certainly there - thought I saw winds were supposed to crank around midday?

Wind here is 15ish mph

Noticeably picking up here in the last 30 mins or so, though still pretty light

Peak wind gust so far for me on LI has been 29mph at 8:40am

When I was driving to work at 5 AM the winds are calm the only thing we had was heavy rain now the winds are picking up on the south .

I thought the winds were really supposed to start cranking after this am batch of heavier rain. I would be more than happy to see the wind forecast bust on the low side as many are working from home and we need power and internet access

The winds are blowing pretty good here. A large part of nj is under a advisory only immediate coast has warning and yes once this big batch rain drives in like right now I can hear the wind it's loud.

Some folks in Highland Falls have lost power and report the winds are howling. That is down county. Up here, near Sullivan...winds are still modest as of 10:45 am

The wind is crazy here. Sounds like a non stop roar. Rain is sweeping across in sustained winds and in past hour power outages rose from 2000 to 4200. So far we still have ours. I'm glad I'm on break this week so I don't have worry bout my video sessions today.

Heavy rain all morning with gusty winds whipping. So far about 1.3” of rain. I think the worst winds may come late this morning and this afternoon with the approaching lines of thunderstorms. There have been reports of 60-70 mph wind gusts in Central PA this morning.

wow. It has to have been 40 to 50 gusts here trees are bending pretty far.

In central NJ and luckily thus far it is not bad, the winds have picked up for sure but so far luckily we are ok here

Right in cue like Bill. I'm over here in Hastings on Hudson which is right by river and winds are insane. They upped our wind warning to 70mph. And I cam see why especially if this increases. Lots of small branches down snd seen 1 big tree. 7500 power outages.

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for the entire Mt Holly NWS coverage area until 6 p.m.

Friends near Atlantic City tell me the wind is howling.

Wind is howling, trees and power lines down, 1.62" of rain so far. And it is going to be worse later when the front comes through. Hang on everyone!
