That is a Gale Warning on the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Stay alert to wind restrictions on bridges and ‘advisories’ to be expanded to the counties north and east.
This product is showing the steady winds, but gusts will reach 40 to 50 mph. Considering the even spread, nearby NWS offices may expand the Wind Advisory to their regions in southern PA , Delmarva, and NJ.
