Wind Advisory NYC: Gusts up to 60 mph could spark power outages, flight delays
NEW YORK - While the weekend storm makes its way out of the region, cold, blustery conditions continue as New York City faces the risk of tropical-storm-force wind gusts, the weather forecast shows.
The entire NYC area is under a Wind Advisory, in effect until 11 p.m., as wind gusts could reach up to 60 miles per hour.

This raises concerns about flight delays at NY and NJ airports as well as the risk of power outages due to trees and other debris falling onto utility lines.
In fact, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey because of high wind gusts. The airport reported a wind gust of 59 mph on Monday morning. That ground stop has since been canceled.
In the city, the MTA Bridges and Tunnels are banning empty tractor-trailers and tandem trucks on its seven bridges on Monday. Click here for the full list.
