GUSTS TO 50 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. EXPECT TO SEE SUSPENDED DUST IN
THE AIR. DEWPOINTS ARE PROGGED TO FALL TO THE 20S AND EVEN TEENS
TOMORROW. AS THE STORM SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST TO THE GREAT LAKES
REGION WED NIGHT, THE WINDS WILL DECREASE AND THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER WILL SLIDE SOUTH OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. WITH
LIGHT WINDS, AND COLDER DRIER ATMOSPHERE OVER US, TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL TO THE 30S WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES ACROSS MOST OF THE
