Following up on the comments of a couple of blogs ago, if a back door cold front is one that comes down from Maine, where does an ordinary cold front usually come from and what makes the back door front come from somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteA normal cold front comes from the west or northwest. However, when high pressure is centered to the west of us, the flow around the high pressure brings the backdoor cold front from the NE or east. The winds behind a normal cold front are west or NW. However, with a back door cold front the winds are E or NE, bringing clouds and chilly air off the Atlantic,and into eastern New England Meanwhile, the rest of the east enjoys summer like weather. It happens most during the spring months, when chilly air is still stuck in SE Canada.
