More than once, what may have seemed a merely breezy day in April offered moments when the wind unleashed gusts of clutch-your-cap power with little warning.
Friday in D.C. combined the warmth of spring, the showers of April and winds perhaps more appropriate to March. Afternoon gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range seemed common.
Such gusts seemed were strong enough to stagger pedestrians, making them wonder whether they could reliably remain upright — in the physical sense. In fact, only one day here this March — a month that has long been identified with wind — experienced a gust as high as 49 mph. That was March 10, the last previous day with so strong a gust.The strength of the wind and the seeming unpredictability of the gusts may have made put their meteorological stamp Friday. They may have prevented notice of the presence of pleasant springtime warmth.
Not only did Friday afternoon seem pleasantly warm, but the morning seemed warm as well. The afternoon’s high reached 69 degrees, two degrees warmer than Washington’s average high for April 12. Unlike some days in the first half of spring, the morning also seemed warm.
