It's called clown range for a reason.

Strong (dry) NW cold front will pass through the region Monday evening into Tuesday morning. Typical dry season pattern here, though a bit rarer to see in April; if this were summer, we'd be talking about lightning and significant fire potential in the interior accompanying the winds.

Despite the continued sunshine, Tuesday will be noticeably cooler with frost possible overnight into Wednesday.
