You can get the VP2 data on Weatherlink. I have migrated over to Weatherlink 2.0 so I have a new link for my data. You can now access the data through: https://www.weatherlink.com/bulletin/5aa32916-94c7-4a40-a2d0-0b74abfc8d8f

I am posting daily to weather underground. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called “Gardens of Traville.” Data is online, normally just about in real-time. The web address for my data on weather underground is: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard ID=KMDrockv200#history/

I contribute daily to cocorahs as Rockville 2.8 WNW, Station ID MD-MG-115 on https://www.cocorahs.org/

Please remember that Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge. I actually use the data I post to cocorahs from my 4″ cocorahs gauge I read manually as my “official” precipitation total each day.

September monthly precipitation has risen to 10.36″ with my year-to-date precipitation now at 48.44″. September 2018 is now my rainiest month here at my current station since I started here in January 2017. My previous rainiest month was 8.65″ back in July 2017. 

Overnight Thursday into Friday the rain continued to about 0430, heaviest betweeen 0145-0200, then slowly cleared out with sun by mid-late afternoon, and temperatures rebounding from mid 50s lows in the early AM to about 70° by late in the afternoon.  Saturday and Sunday should be sunny and pleasant, with highs in the low-mid 70s and lows in the mid-upper 50s, wrapping up a very wet month of September on a dry, pleasant note. Early next week (Monday-Wednesday) October will start out warm with highs around 80°, lows in the low-mid 60s with partly cloudy skies and a 60 POP for PM thunderstorms on Tuesday. 

Currently at 1428 the temperature is 73.6°, dew point temperature 58°,

relative humidity 58%, barometric pressure at 30.24″ and falling.

Currently I have partly cloudy skies with fair-weather cumulus dotting the sky, pleasant temperatures rising into the 70s early this afternoon.  

Good afternoon from the Walrus on this pleasant Saturday.
