The storm system will exit the area tomorrow afternoon leaving windy and cooler weather in it's path. The forecast for tonight calls for mostly cloudy skies with showers and thunderstorms. Look for an overnight low around 48 degrees. The showers will continue through Thursday morning. It will then turn windy and cooler. Expect an afternoon high around 60 degrees with the winds blowing out of the west at 20 to 25 miles per hour. It will also be rather chilly for New Year's Eve.
