A gusty breeze out of the southwest will become more noticeable by afternoon ahead of a strong frontal boundary. That front will produce some late day and evening showers pushing from west to east between about 4 p.m. until midnight before quickly exiting.

Once the winds shift to the northwest behind the showers temperatures will tumble. Friday looks quite blustery and chilly with high temperatures between 45 and 50 degrees.
