Clouds of the Day - April 14, 2020

A seasonably cold polar air mass with gusty northerly winds dominates the weather today. Wet soil, wind, and sunshine this morning has enhanced evaporation. April sunshine is much more effective than the winter sun. It did not take long for warming surface temperatures to support updrafts and clouds. Cumulus was the predominate cloud type today and snow showers developed by late morning and early afternoon. There was no accumulation of snow. The photo below show a variety of cumulus ranging from small to medium size.
