...WIND ADVISORY WILL EXPIRE AT NOON CST TODAY...

Breezy northwesterly gusts in excess of 45 mph have slowly 
started to subside across the area and will continue to do so this
afternoon. Thus, will let the current advisory expire at noon.
Think it is worth noting, however, that gusts between 20 to 40 mph
may still be possible for much of the evening, so continue to
drive with caution and give high profile vehicles extra room!
