Winds are a bit gusty today with the passage of the front but will die down for the rest of the week.  Temperatures rebound a bit Friday by reaching the mid 40's.  Over the weekend temperatures will again soar above normal but there will be a chance of rain overnight Friday into Saturday.  Have a good Wednesday
