We will see mostly sunny skies with a few clouds mixing in at times. Winds will ramp up again today. Expect west to southwest winds at 10 to 20 with gusts to 30+ mph.

We will see mainly clear to partly cloudy skies tonight with lows dropping into the mid 30s. Winds will back off a bit tonight and start to turn to the northwest.

Highs will dip into the low to mid 50s on Friday. We will see sunshine again tomorrow and it will still be windy. Expect northwest winds at 10 to 20 and gusts to 25 mph.

We are tracking a chance for rain this weekend but it will not be a washout. Clouds will build in on Saturday with a chance for showers Saturday night. Highs will drop into the low 50s for Saturday and Sunday. Clouds will gradually clear out on Sunday. Winds will relax for the weekend.
