       Do you have one more day in you to handle (or enjoy) a mix of sun and clouds along with some wind? Northwesterly gusts die tonight but reinvigorate toward 30 mph tomorrow (instead of near 40 mph today). Temperatures and wind chills look a bit cooler tomorrow, behind a reinforcing shot of cool air that brings us some potential rain drops late tonight into early tomorrow.

       Through tonight: West-northwesterly wind gusts diminish with time. Briefly clear skies early give way to increasing cloudiness toward and after midnight. Raindrop chances start rising as we cloud over. The most that a weak wave or two of rain may produce is a tenth of an inch — but that’s the optimistic scenario. Low temperatures bottom out in the mid-40s to around 50 degrees.
