...Wind Advisory Continues for Tuesday...

.The strong and gusty winds that have prevailed today will ease 
up a bit overnight as the boundary layer wind decouples from the 
wind aloft. But, once mixing starts again Tuesday morning, a rapid
increase in wind speeds will occur, with strong and gusty winds 
expected till sunset Tuesday. Additionally, this will also likely
result in very low humidity values, so any outdoor burning is 
highly discouraged.
