The rest of Thursday there will be clearing but it will be windy and colder with temperatures dropping to the 20s by sunset and with winds gusting to 35 mph will make it feel quite cold.

Saturday will not be that cold but now a weak disturbance may touch off some rain or snow showers in the afternoon.
