Websites: NOAA wind speed predictions for Rita

Sustained wind speeds from Hurricane Rita look to be 40-115 mph from the coast to Houston and even as far as Austin; click the post title link for probabilities of wind speeds measuring 34+ knots (39-63 mph), 50+ knots (58-93 mph) or 64+ knots (74-119 mph), broken out by specific times and locations.

Houston roughly has a 60 percent chance of experiencing winds of 40-60 mph, a 30 percent chance of seeing winds 60-90 mph, and a 15 percent chance of feeling winds 75-120 mph. (Percentages do not add up to 100 because wind ranges overlap.)
