1016 PM CDT MON MAY 20 2013
.DISCUSSION...
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS LATE THIS
EVENING, AND ALTHOUGH ISOLATED LOCATIONS MAY SEE ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO
OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS, WILL LET THE RED FLAG WARNING EXPIRE ON TIME.
RECOVERY TONIGHT WILL BE POOR OVER ALL BUT THE NORTHER PERMIAN BASIN
AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO DUE TO A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO
THOSE AREAS. EVEN THOUGH RH/S WILL BE LOW ACROSS SOUTHWEST TEXAS
TUESDAY AND OVER MUCH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY, 20 FOOT WINDS SHOULD
GENERALLY STAY BELOW 20 MPH SUSTAINED.
