PM Update: Overnight showers, gusty winds, then long reign of sunshine Today's clouds and mild southerly winds presaged the arrival of a dynamic cold front tonight. A batch of showers and thunderstorms will accompany this front, with possible gusty winds tonight. The rain clears out by Friday mid-morning, marking the start of an extended stretch of sunny days. Through Tonight: Cloudy, breezy, and mild through mid-evening. Showers and perhaps thunderstorms increase in coverage after 8 p.m. and should overspread much of the region by midnight. A few showers/storms may be accompanied by some gusty winds over 30 mph, but widespread damaging winds are not likely. Overnight lows are mild, mainly in the low-to-mid 50s. Rainfall totals should be in the range of 0.25-0.5. Friday: Some lingering showers are possible, especially along and east of I-95.
