...WIND ADVISORY WILL EXPIRE AT 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

The strong low pressure system that brought the gusty winds
through much of the day will continue to shift quickly off to the
northeast of the area. This, along with high pressure becoming
centered overhead, will allow winds to steadily decrease and
become light and variable late this evening. Therefore, the wind
advisory will be allowed to expire at 7 PM CDT this evening.
