BLOG: A Nice Finish To April
By Justin Drabick
Since the severe weather ended on Thursday, the weather has improved very slowly. Even though the rain ended, an upper-level disturbance was still situated over the area Friday and early today. This led to clouds developing each morning as the sun warmed the air up.
This disturbance finally moved offshore and allowed mostly sunny skies to return this afternoon. After a chilly morning in the 40s, high temperatures made it into the upper 60s and even 70 degrees in some spots. Mostly clear skies tonight will allow temperatures to drop again into the 40s in the suburbs.
Another nice day is on tap as we start the month of May. A warm front will allow more clouds to develop by the afternoon but enough sunshine should get temperatures into the 60s to around 70 in some spots. Areas along the coast will have the coolest temperatures as an easterly wind will be blowing. Ocean water temperatures remain in the mid 50s so air temps will take a bit of a hit. The clouds should hold off the longest along the eastern viewing area.
A slow moving cold front will approach the East coast early next week. Expect some shower chances to arrive for the work week. The best chance to see some showers will be later on Tuesday and Wednesday as the frontal boundary crosses the Delaware Valley.
Temperatures remain at or below average for next week. This weather pattern will be slow moving and will keep any big warm-ups from developing. Enjoy the spring weather.
