Figure #14...Meteogram showing the magnitude of wind speeds (green) and gusts (yellow) as Claudette moved near the Marfa, Texas, ASOS site during the late afternoon on 16 July 2003. The storm’s distance from the observing site (red) also is plotted. Although the strongest winds/gusts occurred as Claudette passed within 30 km of Marfa, winds remained below tropical storm criteria throughout the event.
