Wind gusts will pick up into the afternoon too with gusts to 30 mph likely. That will happen as the clouds increase too.

After 6pm tonight, rain showers will move in from the south and southwest That will fill up the radar with some much needed rain. A few storms are possible tonight as well. The biggest risks from the storms would be small hail and some heavy downpours that increase runoff due to the frozen ground.
