Late tonight into the overnight hours, some gusty showers roll through along with the potential for even stronger winds that keep temperatures near 50 overnight.

The showers clear out early on Friday and so does the warm air. Temperatures quickly drop through the day on Friday as gusty winds from the northwest have us headed for the 30s and 40s by midafternoon and 20s overnight.
