Any rain ends by mid-morning but those gusts may approach 40 to 50 mph into the afternoon which could bring down trees and limbs. If possible, secure any loose objects around your home.

The temperatures are mild in the morning but will drop through the 40s this afternoon. We head for the 30s tonight and winds should decrease through the evening.
