High wind warning leads to travel trouble at Philadelphia airport ...

Strong winds will develop behind a winter storm crossing the Philadelphia region, with gusts between 40 and 60 mph possible throughout Sunday and into Monday. Due to the impending weather conditions, a high wind warning is in place through 6 p.m. Monday for the entire Delaware Valley.

Now is the time to secure any loose items outside. The high winds could bring down trees, branches and utility lines. Power outages are possible. Delays and cancellations are already adding up at Philadelphia International Airport, and train travel could see disruptions. Due to the sharp drop in temperatures overnight into Monday, any loss of power could leave you in a deep freeze.

What is a high wind warning?

This type of weather warning isn't something we hear about too often in Philadelphia. A high wind warning is issued when the following weather conditions are expected:

• Sustained winds of 4- mph or higher for one hour or longer
• Wind gusts of 58 mph or higher for any duration of time 

How to track and report power outages in your area

With wind gusts ranging up to 40-60 mph in the Delaware Valley (up to 55-59 mph in Philadelphia), our NEXT Weather team says these are damaging winds and something to prepare for. 

Tie down any loose items and charge up your devices ahead of Sunday's high winds, since power outages are possible.
