West Coast Storm Finally Moving, Cold Front Coming, Severe Threat Staying North.

On this cloudy Easter Sunday, you can get an indication our weather is about to change.  With the surface high well to our east, brisk SSE winds are bringing higher dew points (increasing low level moisture) along with warmer air.  Despite all the clouds, we have no rain around as there is no trigger to fire off any storms.  The coming trigger will be a cold front Tuesday night that will be forced eastward by that stubborn West Coast upper trough.





Note how chilly it is out over the western states while the Southeastern states are very much in Springtime.  SPC is keeping the severe threat well to our north Monday & Tuesday along the warm frontal boundary.





We may see some showers along the cold front Tuesday night, but the main dynamics/energy races well to our north.  




It's still raining over southern California & Arizona, but the T-Storms are along the front in Iowa.





The extensive cloud cover should limit our warming tomorrow to the lower 80s, but if the sun could break out, it will get hotter.  Dew points are approaching 70 and that muggy feel is back.




As long as the winds stay up, dense fog in the morning should not be an issue.  We are not done using our sweaters & jackets.




Once this next front sweeps through by early on Wednesday, the good feel air will return for several days.  Happy Easter Gang!  Stay tuned!
