Wind, cold, and mountain snow returns - from this morning LWX AFD 

The strong upper trough digs over the area Tuesday, with the surface
pressure gradient tightening in response to the deepening low to our
north. Model soundings indicate nearly unidirectional westerly flow
from the surface to around 600mb, with a powerful jet aloft at 250mb
approaching 120-130kt. This is a favorable setup for strong winds
aloft to mix down to the surface, especially in the climo wind
favored area along/west of the Blue Ridge and along/north of I-66.
Winds could gust around 35-45 mph for most of the area, with 45-55
mph gusts in the mountains Tuesday afternoon. Wind Advisories are
possible, with some of the higher-end ensemble guidance pointing to
High Wind criteria being met.

Some showers depart the area to the east through the day Tuesday,
though precipitation continues in the Alleghenies. While the area
dries out by Tuesday evening, cold air advection in the mountains
results in a transition to snow showers Tuesday night. Upper
dynamics look favorable on the backside of the departing upper
trough, with northwest winds advecting moisture off the Great Lakes.
The potential is there for several inches of accumulating snow
along/west of the Allegheny Front, though confidence is low at this
time given the warm antecedent conditions. Something to continue
monitoring in the coming days.

Compressional warming brings highs up to the 60s Tuesday afternoon.
CAA Tuesday night drops temps to the mid 30s to 40s (with upper 20s
to low 30s in the mountains). Gusty conditions are likely to persist
Tuesday night, causing it to feel much colder than normal for mid
April (wind chills in the upper 20s to 30s).

This spring gives me the feeling we are going to amble along in this cooler windy annoying pattern until all of a sudden it flips and we're baking til October.   We have solar panels on the city house and im sort of wishing we have a wind turbine instead this year.   

There’s been hints of a se ridge so far this spring, so I’m hoping that can get locked in at some point.

We are good at clouds too. Majority of the last 20 days have been cloudy. March was the windiest month in 50 years at some locations.  

I grew up in NW Ohio. Grey winters and windy grey springs. Moved away over 20 yrs ago  to get away from that. Now apparently it has decided to follow me.

Well, on a positive note some clearing moving in quick from the West during the next few hours.  Tomorrow starts with clouds, but sunny conditions should increase in the afternoon, as the winds increase significantly.

Yea, today has started off high level.  Taking a floating holiday today, so I'm ok with the current satellite loop.

Spectacular, except this is the first day I've noticed bugs.

There's been a couple other days I've noticed them, but recently I've noticed more queen bees and certainly there were more flies around.  I think I even got bit up a bit today.  Spring is starting to make its presence felt.
