NEW YORK (AP)  -- Commuters are facing a one-two punch in New Jersey.

Wind gusts of nearly 50 miles per hour are downing trees and power lines.

There's also rain, which is heavy at times, and is causing some minor flooding on highways.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for most of the state.

Forecasters say the wind will strengthen as a strong low pressure system heads to the northeast.

The gusty east winds are expected to continue into the afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration is reporting delays averaging two hours and 27 minutes on arrivals at Newark International Airport.

Flights headed to La Guardia Airport are experiencing delays averaging two hours and seven minutes. At Kennedy International Airport, the delays are averaging 55 minutes.

The FAA advised travelers on Monday to check with their airline about the status of departing flights.
