Winds will increase at the Jersey Shore on Saturday night as a strong cold front passes through the region, forecasters say.

The National Weather Service is forecasting a northwest wind gusting to around 45 miles per hour along and behind the front from late Saturday night through Sunday.

But stronger winds are possible if an enhanced line of showers accompanies the frontal passage, according to a National Weather Service outlook.
