It will still be windy with west winds at 10 to 20 and gusts to near 25 mph. Expect clear skies tonight with lows falling into the upper 50s. Winds will begin to back down tonight.

Wednesday will likely be our nicest day of the week. Expect plenty of sunshine tomorrow with temperatures starting in the upper 50s and highs in the mid 70s. Winds will be lighter tomorrow, shifting from west to north at 5 to 15 mph.

We are tracking another chance for rain and storms to end the work week as a broad area of low pressure moves over the region. Clouds will build in on Thursday with showers and storms moving in Thursday night. Expect clouds, rain, and storms for Friday with winds cranking up again. Highs will stay in the low to mid 70s to end the work week. Even cooler air is set to move in for the weekend and early next week.
