RED BANK: WIND, BUT LITTLE SNOW, IN OUTLOOK

Mar 14, 2023

Strong winds are expected to buffet the Greater Red Bank as a late-winter storm passes the region, the National Weather Service reported early Tuesday.

(Late Monday, Governor Phil Murphy  issued a state-of-emergency declaration  for the state’s five northernmost counties.)
