According to the National Weather Service, Thursday’s high will reach a relatively mild 51°F, but conditions will turn blustery by evening as northwest winds ramp up. Gusts could peak near 38 mph, reducing visibility and making outdoor activities uncomfortable. The nighttime low will dip sharply to 15°F, marking a cold end to the day.
