Mount Holly, New Jersey – Strong sunshine and gusty winds will sweep across Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey on Saturday, bringing a classic early-May weather pattern that feels more like fall than spring.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, high pressure is dominating the region, keeping skies mostly clear while driving northwest winds with gusts reaching 25 to 30 mph. Temperatures will climb into the low 60s in the higher elevations of northeast Pennsylvania and northwest New Jersey, while southern Delaware and interior New Jersey could see highs touch the low 70s.
Wind gusts will be strongest in open areas and along the I-95 corridor, with widespread 25–30 mph peaks expected through late afternoon. Drivers of high-profile vehicles should use caution on bridges and exposed roadways, especially along U.S. Route 1 and the New Jersey Turnpike. Outdoor plans may need adjustment due to the persistent breeze.
Skies will remain sunny throughout the day, with only 10–30% cloud cover across the tri-state region. The dry air and clear skies also increase the risk of brush fires—residents are urged to avoid outdoor burning.
Wind gusts will taper overnight, with calmer and milder conditions expected by Sunday morning.
