PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
110 PM EDT MON SEP 4 2006
...TROPICAL REMNANTS COUPLED WITH NEW ENGLAND HIGH PRESSURE
BROUGHT WIND WHIPPED RAINS TO THE AREA...
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO MOVED INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN
VIRGINIA AREA AROUND MIDDAY ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, THEN TRACKED VERY
SLOWLY INTO THE BALTIMORE, MARYLAND AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON OF
SEPTEMBER 2ND. THE REMNANTS THEN GRADUALLY MOVED ACROSS CENTRAL
PENNSYLVANIA. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT THOUGH, BETWEEN THE LOW PRESSURE
CENTER ASSOCIATED WITH ERNESTO AND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER MAINE,
CREATED STRONG WINDS ACROSS A GOOD PART OF OUR AREA. THE HARDEST HIT
LOCATIONS WERE ALONG THE JERSEY SHORE AND DELAWARE BEACHES, AS WELL
AS LOCATIONS SEVERAL MILES INLAND. THE SATURATED GROUND AND GUSTY
WINDS DOWNED TREES ACROSS MANY PARTS OF THE REGION, WHICH ALSO
BROUGHT DOWN POWER LINES. SOME LOCATIONS RIGHT ALONG THE JERSEY
SHORE SAW PEAK WINDS OF HURRICANE FORCE.
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR WEATHER SPOTTERS, COOP OBSERVERS, THE
MEDIA AND THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR REPORTS. WE APPRECIATE IT!
