The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for Montgomery County as a nor'easter pushes through southeastern Pennsylvania.

Whitemarsh, Plymouth and Whitpain residents face sustained north winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph through 6 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 27. The advisory took effect at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, according to WFMZ, which published the NWS bulletin. The bulletin names "Western Montgomery County" in the advisory area, though the Reporter Online lists the full county and the storm's wind and rain extend across the broader region.

The NWS warned that gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects and that tree limbs could come down, possibly causing power outages. The agency also cautioned that driving could be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.

NWS meteorologist Matthew Belk noted that leaves still on the trees this early in fall create more wind resistance, according to WFMZ. That raises the risk of downed limbs, outages and debris on roads.

"We're pretty much in it right now," NWS Mount Holly meteorologist Lee Robertson told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Saturday, Sept. 26.

The NWS forecast calls for up to a quarter inch of rain late Friday night, a half to three-quarters of an inch Saturday and another quarter to half inch Saturday night, Patch reported. No significant freshwater flooding is expected.

PECO reported about 250 outages affecting fewer than 5,000 customers across the Delaware Valley as of 9:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the Inquirer. No breakdown specific to Whitemarsh, Plymouth or Whitpain was available.

The NWS said Sunday's forecast remains uncertain and will depend on the track of a low-pressure system developing off the coast. Rain may continue into Sunday, with gusts up to 30 mph.

Residents should secure outdoor furniture, trash cans and other loose items. The NWS Mount Holly office posts updates on its website.
