Showers will taper off through midday and skies will clear this afternoon. Highs will warm into the mid 60s today. Winds will crank up as the front moves through. Expect west winds at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30+ this afternoon. Colder air will move in behind the front. Skies will remain clear tonight with lows falling into the upper 30s.
