While today remains partly sunny with highs teasing near the 60-degree mark, locals can expect a drop to 37 degrees tonight under partly cloudy skies.

Not to be outdone by the sun, the South wind will have its moment on Wednesday night, with gusts potentially reaching as high as 28 mph. The National Weather Service update adds context to what jackets or umbrellas might be necessary accessories for weekday outings and weekend plans alike.
