The combination of the intense surface low to the northeast over the Canadian Maritimes and a strong high pressure in the northern Plains to the Mississippi Valley is maintaining a tight pressure gradient across the Mid Atlantic. This setup is resulting in deep vertical mixing resulting in significant wind gusts. Fortunately, the air flow in the atmosphere will gradually weaken through Tuesday, however it will still be strong enough to keep breezy conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, there has been a notable downward trend in the winds this afternoon across much of the Mid Atlantic with gusts mostly below criteria. While it still remains gusty the overall risk of damaging winds has passed and therefore, they have
cancelled the Wind Advisory and High Wind Warnings that were in effect.
These were some of the highest gusts in the most impacted zones of Pennsylvania and New Jersey:

Fair and calmer weather will return tomorrow into Wednesday ahead of the next area of low pressure. That next storm system is likely to bring heavy snow back to the east coast, although the heaviest of the snow should remain near the Delmarva peninsula and places west of there.
