| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong cold front associated with a low pressure system moving through New York State swept across the area during the late evening hours of April 2nd and early morning hours of April 3rd, accompanied by thunderstorms, very strong convectively driven winds, and small hail. As colder air behind this front drained south, precipitation changed to snow showers, with a coating reported in isolated spots in northern Delaware from squalls. The parent low pressure system then quickly intensified as it continued to move northeast away from the area. The gradient between this low pressure system and incoming high pressure produced strong winds gusting over 60 MPH in some localities from late overnight through the morning hours of April 3rd. Some reported peak wind gusts included: 51 MPH at Dover Air Force Base at 0515EST (Kent County), 62 MPH at Wilmington New Castle County Airport at 0728EST (New Castle County), and 48 MPH at Sussex County Airport at 0042EST (Sussex County). |
