Today (Monday): Winds from the northwest gusted up to 40 to 50 mph on Sunday, and they’ll probably do so again today.

Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: There’s a lingering breeze overnight but it’s much lighter than before. Under clear skies, it’s rather cold as lows settle from near freezing in our colder spots to around 40 downtown. Confidence: High
