...Gusty winds 40 to near 50 mph will continue through early
evening...

The combination of a significant difference between high pressure
over the southeast U.S. and low pressure remaining over the
southwest Gulf of Mexico left behind after Tropical Storm Alberto
passed through has maintained gusty winds across the Rio Grande
Valley and Deep South Texas mainly from Hidalgo and Brooks County
to the coast.

Strongest gusts...over 40 mph...are near quick moving showers that
are helping to mix down the gusts from above the surface.

Winds should gradually diminish toward sunset and more rapidly
after sunset, as daytime heating has helped to transport the gusts
to the surface.

Drivers should remain alert to sharp wind gusts near showers, and
residents should keep lightweight objects indoors or under
shelter until the winds subside.
