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.

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:

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 2018 had 10.34″ of rainfall at my location with my year-to-date precipitation at 48.42″. September 2018 is now the rainiest month here at my current station since I started in January 2017.  My previous rainiest month was 8.65″ back in July 2017.

Overnight Monday into Tuesday was clear, milder and more humid compared to the last few days.  Dew points started the day in the low 60s but rose into the low 70s by mid-afternoon, with muggy, partly cloudy conditions.   Tuesday was partly cloudy and a bit warmer and a bit more humid than Monday, with highs in the low 80s
and lows in the mid 60s with the 40 POP for PM thunderstorms failing to materialize in my area . Wednesday will be partly sunny with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low-mid 60s. Thursday should be partly sunny and warmer, with highs up in the mid 80s and lows in the upper 50s as a cold front pushes through late in the day. Friday should be mostly sunny and cooler, with highs around 70° and lows in the low 60s. Saturday should be cloudy and remain cool with highs in the low 70s and lows in the mid 60s and only a 20 POP for rain.  Sunday will have AM clouds and PM sun, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the mid 60s It looks mostly like a dry start to the month of October, and longer range predictions through the middle of the month (at least) are for this warmer, drier weather to persist. Our first freeze/frost looks to be several weeks away, as it has been trending later in the fall over the past few years.

Currently at 0509 the temperature is 68.4°, dew point temperature 67°,
relative humidity 96%, barometric pressure at 30.05″ and steady. 

Currently I have partly cloudy skies and mild overnight temperatures in the upper 60s.

Good morning from the Walrus early on this Wednesday.
