Once the line of storms moves through, the severe threat will be done in your location. It will be windy throughout the nighttime hours behind the cold front that sweeps through.

Then comes the winds 

Non-thunderstorm wind gusts overnight Thursday into Friday morning could be as high as 50 MPH. Winds will get better by late Friday morning and by the afternoon. This will bring much cooler air into the area for Friday.
