the northwest at around 5 to 15 mph with higher gusts at some
places. High temperatures today will be in the mid to upper 60s
with partly cloudy to cloudy skies. Winds will be light and
variable tonight with clearing skies. These conditions will
result in temperatures dropping into the 40s tonight and
