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.

Saturday had 0.11″ of rain. October 2018 has had 1.39″ of rainfall at my location with my year-to-date precipitation now at 49.81″.

Overnight Friday into Saturday turned cloudy, milder, and calm with light rain falling at times in the very early hours of Saturday. 

Through the day on Saturday we had partly cloudy skies with temperatures rising into the upper low 60s by mid-afternoon. Temps held in the 50s mid-evening during our second short period of light rain in the mid-evening. The temperature started to drop off again after the rain moved off into the upper 40s by midnight, Dew points lowered from the mid 50s in the AM down to the upper-low 40s by mid evening.

On Saturday afternoon my friend John drove us up to the Wesley Grove United Methodist Church (see today’s featured image) for their annual turkey and oyster country buffet style dinner in southern Damascus Maryland.

On the way up and back from my apartment through mostly rural, country environments we did not notice much color change in most of the trees we observed. Most of the color we did see was not easy to note – mostly drab browns and muted dark reds with occasional yellow dogwoods.

The featured church image was not taken this Saturday, but during some past October. You can notice some color change in spots in the picture (google image).   

Overnight Saturday into Sunday cleared out with temps dropping off a bit more into the mid 40s by sunrise. .

with more potential chances for frost out here in the suburbs overnight into Monday.

Good morning from the Walrus early on this Sunday.
