The wider storm

Very strong winds at the surface and just aloft spread into the area in conjunction with a coastal warm front lifting northwest through the area, ahead of a cold front and upper level trough approaching from the west. Background strong and gusty winds from the south and southwest prompted a high wind warning (northeast zones) and wind advisory (elsewhere), but the strongest winds were associated with a prefrontal line of storms that crossed the area during the morning into very early afternoon.

Began near New Hope (35.3700, -77.8500).
