Weather mix: sun, clouds, wind, and maybe more rain

  We’re getting sunshine and some gusty winds, along with those cloudy skies  here in Burbank today. It was warm enough, near 70,  to take a stroll through the downtown district around noon; however, I had to hold onto my hat at times to keep the wind from blowing it off. Weather watchers are predicting strong winds in various parts of the Southland. […]
