This weekend, expect gusty winds from the southwest, which will help bring in the milder air. If you were hoping to put up some holiday lights today, it could be a little tricky due to the stronger breezes. A pulse of energy will roll through starting Sunday night, providing a chance for a few scattered rain showers. Behind that disturbance, temperatures will turn colder by mid-week.
