The NBC10 First Alert Weather Team has issued a First Alert for strong damaging wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph. The alert covers the entire region until 7 p.m. Friday.
Here's what to expect:
Unlike Thursday these storms are not coming with strong thunderstorms. We’re stuck between a very strong low pressure system and a high-pressure system, and that will deliver a wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph.
The strong winds could cause localized power outages and travel disruptions as debris blows onto roadways Friday. Anything not secured could blow around your yard or onto streets.
In addition to northwesterly winds, temperatures have plunged and feel winterlike Friday morning. The highs (without the wind) only push into the upper 40s. A spotty rain shower could blow through Friday afternoon.
It will feel like the 20s in many neighborhoods early Saturday morning. A Freeze Watch is in effect for Friday night into Saturday morning.
The weather over Easter Weekend improves. Expect highs in the mid-50s Saturday with breezy conditions and sunshine. Easter Sunday will be much milder with highs nearing 70 with partly cloudy skies.
