Tropical Storm Warning In Effect For Coastal Waters Off Jersey

Good afternoon again. Just checked out the web page for the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly, New Jersey, and found that there is a Tropical Storm Warning in effect for the coastal waters for the far southeastern portion of the region from Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon. This includes waters offshore of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. Closer to the coast, a Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the Jersey shore from Sandy Hook southward to Cape May. The advisory actually extends to Fenwick Island, Delaware.

The forecast calls for East to Southeast winds between 10 to 15 knots with seas building from 3 to 4 feet to 5 to 6 feet this afternoon. Tonight, winds will start out from the Southeast at 15 to 20 knots, and then becoming North to Northeast at 15 to 25 knots with areas further to the South and East getting winds as high as 35 knots. Seas will be ranging between 6 to 10 feet while there will be rain showers and thunderstorms. On Saturday, winds will shift to the North to Northwest from 20 to 30 knots while seas will build to between 8 to 15 feet. Things will begin to wind down though as Danny scoots past the Garden State, across Eastern Long Island, and into New England.
