Tha i fuar agus gaothach a-rithist ach tha i grianach an-duigh.
Is that proper structure for Gaelic, i.e. gender agreement and just proper sentence structure? Should I have used grianaich or grianaiche? My thinking is that grianaich or grianaiche is the feminine version and 'i' is the feminine pronoum. I am only on Lesson 2 of TAIC, and trying to put this together using a dictionary.
I want to say "It is cold and windy again, but it is sunny today."

"grianaiche" is genative, but don't worry about that just now. If you can get access to Teach Yourself Gaelic by Boyd Robertson, you'll do really well. It explains the relative gramatical points rather well that go along with the unit you are on. It taught me a lot.
San Eilean Sgitheanach tha i fuar agus tioram an-diugh. Bha barrachd sneachd an seo a-raoir cuideachd. Tha e a' coimhead gle steimsidh!

You do not need to use agreement when you say tha e... tha i....
Tha i math - she is good
but:
Oidhche mhath! = Good night! - Here you get the agreement, because math goes directly with the noun.

Canar (bh)o àm gu àm 
Dh'fhàs e caran fuar agus an-seo, ach chan eil sneachd sam bith ann fhathast.
It has grown somewhat cold over here too, but there's no snow yet.
