April began as an upper-level trough approached the California coast. This trough moved through California during the afternoon and evening of April 2nd, then into the Great Basin on the 3rd. The trough brought gusty winds to the Kern County mountain and desert areas, with gusts to around 60 mph at River Kern, Mojave and the China Lake NAWC that began in the late afternoon of the 2nd and persisted through midday of the 3rd. In the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, the upper-level trough caused gusts to 40 mph during the afternoon of April 3rd.
The trough also brought an unseasonably cold airmass to the San Joaquin Valley, with low temperatures on April 4th falling into the 30-32-degree range over the east side of the Valley.

A large wave capsized a 21-foot open construction boat off Panama City Beach in Shell Island Pass.  One man drowned and another was injured.
An unusually early heat wave affected southeastern Pennsylvania from April 25th through the 27th with high temperatures in the lower 90s each day. High temperatures also reached into the lower 90s on the 26th and 27th in the Lehigh Valley. The combination of the early hot weather and inadequate supplies of water led to more than two dozen people suffering heat exhaustion at a Gatorade Replay football game in Easton (Northampton County) on the 26th. Over 13,000 fans were at the stadium. At least two people were transported to Easton Hospital. The high temperature at Lehigh Valley International Airport on the 26th was 90 degrees.
The highest temperature during the stretch was 93 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and 91 degrees at the Lehigh Valley International Airport. This was the first April heat wave in Philadelphia since 2002. A cold front that moved through on the 28th (when temperatures fell just short of reaching 90) ended the hot weather.
