...HIGH WIND WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 8 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

Strong winds which impacted much of south central Nebraska today 
have begun to subside, and severe wind gusts near 60 MPH are no 
longer expected. For this reason, the High Wind Warning will be 
allowed to expire at 8 PM CDT. While winds have begun to diminish, 
gusts of 40 to near 50 MPH will remain possible through the 
mid-evening hours.
