717 PM CDT THU APR 22 2010

IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NIGHT...AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE PLAINS STATES CONTINUES TO
INTENSIFY.  WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GO CALM TONIGHT AND SHOULD
REMAIN BETWEEN 4-6 MPH.  HOWEVER...WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS
GUSTY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  WITH THESE WINDS IN PLACE...THE
INVERSION IS EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY WEAK TONIGHT WHICH WILL GREATLY
LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG FORMATION TONIGHT.  WILL GO WITH A
MODERATE CHANCE OF LIGHT FOG FORMING LATE TONIGHT.  THE FOG WILL
BE MOST LIKELY RIGHT AROUND DAYBREAK (6-8 AM).  IN ADDITION...THIS
WILL BE THE PEAK TIME FOR HUMIDITY VALUES TO RISE ABOVE 90%.
WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO IN PLACE...THERE IS NO
CHANCE OF THE RH VALUES FALLING BELOW 28 PERCENT TOMORROW.
