Correct, it wasn't "windy" per se but it was more than windy enough to prevent good radiational cooling. 

Do you see forst tonight?  Yea or nay.    That wunderground map I put up showed the high differences between the East and West Shore as to temps last night. A few mid 20's in Cumberland if I remember correctly.

MU has been tweeting a lot about the upcoming pattern - this is all from the past hour:

 

(1/3) Now that's a change! The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) wave has migrated into phase 1. In an ENSO-neutral April, there is a strong correlation between phase 1 & the large-scale pattern across North America. Unfortunately, phase 1 promotes below-normal temps in the East.

(2/3) The ECMWF computer model 500 mb height anomaly forecast for the upcoming weekend looks a lot like the MJO phase 1 pattern. A ridge over the West (+PNA) will combine with high-latitude, Greenland blocking (-NAO) to suppress the Jet Stream over the eastern U.S..

(3/3) What does this mean for us? To make a long story short, the summerlike warmth of recent weeks is gone. Highs will be stuck in the 50s/60s each afternoon through at least May 5th. And yes, we'll deal with a few "cold rains" and perhaps another frost or two. I'm not a fan..

April showers bring May frowns from MU.  The 12Z HRRR is quite wet for far east LSV tomorrow.   This last week is ruining the chance for record anomalous April totals temp wise.   MDT lost 1/2 degree off their average from yesterday.

This what we need in February and March. Weather can be cruel to snow fans.

Mine is growing rapidly. I didn't even weed and feed. Thursday will be a week. Honestly i should have mowed last night. 

Mine looks pretty stout as well after the weekend rain.   This is the golden time for it as long as it rains....no super cold freezes and the sun is not too bad yet.  Mid-May into Sept, it needs rains every 2-3 days or begins to wilt.

Mowing in t minus 5 hours. I swear it shot up 6" yesterday. By next week it might be an every other day thing if we get a lot of rain.

You remind me of my old Mexican neighbor from many years back who used to mow quite literally every other day, and afterwards would spend endless hours hand clipping stuff with scissors.  Kid you not.  He once intimated to me that it was mainly to get away from his wife haha.

I will be mowing for the 4th time on Thursday, prior to the weekend wetness.

I look like a lot of things (wife says a hot mess) but I've never been referred to as Mexican.

The 12Z GFS is tuned in to MU if not even more chilly.  Highest 1PM temp through May 5th is this Thursday @ 62.
