Nicholas Carr with the National Weather Service said on Sunday, "We're looking at strong winds probably starting early morning tomorrow into tomorrow afternoon."
Carr says the heaviest winds are expected to be in Southeast Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, and the coast will get the brunt of it all.
While there is a possibility of tornadoes forming, the real threat will be thunderstorms.
“Those will bring their own threat of high winds. Those could be even stronger than the winds that will be blowing all day,” he said.
The damaging winds may lead to downed trees and power lines, Carr warns.
Many of the 40 food sites for residents are outdoors, and there have been long lines of people standing outside since the food distribution began on March 30.
The demand has been so high, city officials acknowledge some locations have been running out of food early.
"We are trying to redeploy resources," city Managing Director Brian Abernathy said during Friday’s coronavirus news briefing. "And so there are some sites that have not given out all their food and we’re trying to redeploy those resources to sites that have a larger need."
Even though the food distribution sites are closed on Monday, city officials say the warehouse is still open to volunteers who have been packing the boxes filled with five days worth of groceries.
