Matt Gagnon interviews Joe Lundberg, a senior meteorologist from AccuWeather, about the current and upcoming weather conditions. Lumberg explains that strong winds were caused by a front that passed late Monday night and an upper-level jet stream that enhanced surface mixing. Wind gusts exceeded 53 mph in some areas, with Newfoundland experiencing over 90 mph. A storm moving into northern Michigan will bring more wind and rain, with potential wind gusts over 40 mph.
