Plenty of sunshine but a bit blustery today and tomorrow with gusty winds making it feel colder.  

40s for highs again on Thursday and then lower 50s by Friday.  Some light rain late Friday and a slight chance for some light snow by Christmas evening. 

Overall, a fairly quiet and relatively mild forecast through early next week.
