MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — The National Weather Service has issued a high wind watch for portions of northern Delaware, central and southern New Jersey, and southeastern Pennsylvania from Sunday morning through Monday afternoon.

Forecasters warn of west winds between 25 to 35 mph, with potential gusts reaching 50 to 60 mph. Strong winds could bring down trees and power lines, leading to widespread power outages and hazardous travel conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles.

The storm system will bring rain and thunderstorms Sunday morning, followed by falling temperatures and strong winds. By Sunday night, temperatures will drop to the 20s and 30s, with wind chills in the teens. The combination of wet soil and powerful gusts could cause extensive tree damage and increase the risk of power outages.

Officials advise residents to secure loose outdoor objects and prepare for potential disruptions.

With powerful winds and plummeting temperatures, residents are urged to brace for hazardous conditions and possible outages.
