diameter and wind gusts to 65 mph will be possible generally east of
a Quitaque to Jayton line.

Strong winds and a dry air mass will move in behind the dryline this
afternoon. A Wind Advisory is in effect from 1 PM to 10 PM for the
southwestern and central South Plains for wind speeds of 25 to 35
mph. A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 1 PM to 8 PM for the
southwestern South Plains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
