A woman tragically died in Northeast Philadelphia after a powerful wind gust uprooted a tree that fell onto her car during severe weather conditions. Winds reached up to 60 mph throughout the Northeast, prompting warnings from forecasters that strong gusts would continue into the evening. While many regions experienced wind advisories and power outage threats, meteorologist Cody Braud described the incident as unusual. The cold air following a storm contributed to the gusty winds, impacting travel and causing ground delays at major airports across the region.
"The biggest threat is occasional power outages, noted Braud, while emphasizing that the incident in Philadelphia was an anomaly."
"Forecasters warned that strong winds would last into Monday night throughout much of the East Coast and Northeast, with gusts reaching up to 60 mph."
