The one off Atlantic City has some convection firing but also check out the ones off to the SE.

The "swirl" off NJ is the remains of SUB TD 22.

so..it looks like there's 3 or 4 seperate little systems riding along this old frontal boundary. Interesting weather set up.

that is very interesting what do you think is going on there, i see three different areas of interest

I think they are all frontal lows. I hate to mention JB, but he thinks one of them will turn warm-core.

Not absoultely sure but the one closest to the coast may be over the Gulf Stream.

Buoy reports:

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/Chesapeake_Bay.shtml

there's a North Wind at the mouth of Delaware Bay, but all the other obs in the area are NE and NNE.

Gusts and sustained winds ahve been increasing too.

On radar the low appears to be due East of Ocean City, MD, and East of the buoy there, if there's a Northwind.

for those who are curious, here's the forecast discussion for Philly, covers the Jersey Shore regions, mentions the small surface low we've been talking about.

AccuWx also says "Tropical Storm force winds hitting Jersey Shore" as its header but of course this is inaccurate...the buoy at the mouth of the delaware has gusts to 36 kts but no tropical storm force sustained winds. There aren't even gusts that high on the coast.

EDIT

found a gust to 40kts at the AC marina. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=acmn4
so AXwX was right.
