Strong winds will arrive behind a weather system tonight. A few passing showers and maybe a grumble of thunder could accompany this setup.

Storms will bring brief, beneficial rains. It's the winds we can do without. Trees and utilities have been recently stressed by steadfast winds of late. More stress could break more branches and cause damage and outages later tonight through tomorrow morning.

Quieter weather returns tomorrow afternoon, but the temperatures will cool off quite a bit. This chill lingers through the weekend.

A series of quick-moving weather systems takes aim at the state through the weekend. Saturday looks to be the rainiest of days, but showers will linger through Sunday. Very cold air follows Sunday's wet weather into next week.
