DISCUSSION
DRY AND VERY COLD CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST IL THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. RATHER BRISK NORTHWEST
WINDS GUSTING 20 TO 25 MPH WILL VEER WEST TO SOUTHWEST DURING
THIS AFTERNOON. STRONGER SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP DURING THIS

ON TUESDAY DUE TO STRONGER WINDS. FAIR TO POOR VENT RATES ARE
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY DUE TO WEAKER WEST WINDS AND LOWER MIXING HEIGHTS.
