Description:Falling temperatures during the mid-afternoon are not uncommon. Such events are usually associated with a strong cold frontal passage or the occurrence of thunderstorm outflow. A less recognized cause is evaporational cooling. On Saturday, March 5, 1988, the onset of wet snow during the early afternoon at Topeka, Kansas, resulted in five degrees of cooling in less than two hours. Examination of this case suggests that the cause of the temperature drop was evaporational cooling.
