High Wind Warning Expanded to DE and Ocean City MD Beaches

Sunday October 2, 2022

The Ghost of Ian is now forming a New Nor’easter and has continued to evolve in a way that is stronger and closer to the coast. We had expected high wind and rain to increase today and tonight, but the intensity expectation has gone up with the Low closer to the coast.

As a result, the high Wind Warning has been expanded to include central Delaware to the Ocean City Beaches.  Winds may gust OVER 50 mph exasperating the beach erosion.
