Tomorrow, the cozy respite of today's partial sun will yield to increasing clouds and a loftier high near 37 degrees, but it's not without a cost as a southwest wind picks up speed, gusting forcefully up to an impressive 39 mph, a metaphorical shaking of bare tree branches and bustling city corners, the NWS details a mostly cloudy night to follow, with that same wind coursing through at a decreased 10 to 15 mph after midnight, yet it could still blow hard, gusting up to 36 mph, despite the drop.
