The south winds ahead of that front will reach 45 miles per hour at times during the day and remain gusty through Thursday night.

Cooler air will return to the region first thing Friday morning and it looks like it will stick around for the weekend. Expect mostly sunny skies on Friday with gusty, cool winds, and high temperatures will be in the low 40s. Wind chill values will be in the 20s and low 30s during the day.
The weekend will be bright and seasonably cool. Expect mostly sunny skies on both Saturday and Sunday and high temperatures will be in the mid and upper 40s.
