.SYNOPSIS...

Gusty northwesterly winds are expected today in the wake of a
cold front, with gusts up to 30 knots at times. A secondary cold
front will bring a period of highest gusts late this afternoon,

through much of the week, as high pressure around 30.1 inches
builds into and lingers across the Midwest.
