Love Those April Cold Fronts

We can get "cold" fronts push off our coast well into May & June, but the longer days & higher sun angle makes them mainly "dry" fronts with no cooler air behind them.  Going off to church this morning was almost chilly with temps around 60 & brisk north winds making it feel even cooler.  But once the sun returned this afternoon, buda bing, temps quickly bounced back above 70.

The cold front has pushed off our coast with the rains & clouds covering most of the East coast states.

Sweaters and jackets are needed as temps hover in the 40s & 50s.  A quick look at the satellite picture covering eastern Canada reveals many of the smaller lakes are ice covered with still some snow on the ground.

But as mentioned, that late April sun quickly moderates the chill.  As an upper ridge across the Rockies shifts eastward this week, a big warm up returns. 90s are showing up in the desert SW.

Dew points in the 30s & 40s will make the next 2 nights very comfortable, but it won't last.

With big outdoor events coming this weekend, I don't see another front coming to trigger high rain chances.  Mid to upper 80s with increasing humidity will make it feel almost summer like.  Get out and enjoy this good feel as it'll be gone by Wednesday.  Stay tuned!
