-1 on both. In one liners (ie, comprehensions and generator
expressions) I think "for ... if" is readable, but it means something
else!

With the wind chill factor, -2.
The only other syntax I've seen so far that makes any sense to me at
all is
for x in xs:
# suite containing break
then:
# suite to execute after processing all xs
but that would require a new keyword, so that's -1, too.
