My apologies for not posting the past few days. I will post a briefer 3 day post here, combining some parameters as needed.

Saturday was cloudy, chilly and rainy through mid-afternoon with temperatures ranging from the mid 40s for lows up to mid 50s for highs. Steady light rain fell a good part of the day (0.65″). Winds picked up, veering around to the NW with our first significant fall of leaves as predicted.

Sunday was still cloudy but only occasional light showers (0.04″) fell. Min temps were about the same as the previous day, but the max temperature was about 5° cooler. Dew point temperatures on both Saturday and Sunday held in the 40s over both days.

Monday cleared off some, with high and low temps about the same as Sunday. No rain fell, though at times clouds looked threatening and other locations in the region did get some light instability showers. Winds kept up through part of the day but diminished in the latter part of the day.

You can get my 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/map/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

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.

Saturday had 0.65″ of rain. Sunday had 0.04″ of rain. No rain fell on Monday. October 2018 so far has had 2.63″ of rainfall at my location with my year-to-date precipitation at 51.05″.

Saturday finished up the rainfall from our 2-day nor’easter with 1.20″ total. Mostly steady light rain fell and there were no local flooding concerns around my station area. Still cool on Saturday with highs around 50° and lows in the mid 40s. 

Sunday was mostly cloudy with a light shower falling. Highs were in the mid 50s and lows in the mid 40s.

Monday turned partly cloudy, breezy and still chilly but with no measurable rain.  High and low temps were essentially the same as Sunday. 

Tuesday looks to be sunny with highs in the lower 60s and lows in the mid 40s.

Halloween Wednesday looks to be mostly sunny and milder, with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the mid-upper 50s. A good night for the trick or treaters.

The beginning of November on Thursday should be partly sunny and warmer, with highs in the low-mid 70s and lows in the lower 60s. Friday turns cloudy with highs in the upper 60s, lows in the upper 40s with an 80 POP for showers/thundershowers as a strong cold front approaches the region. Friday should be partly cloudy and cooler, with highs in the upper mid 50s and lows around 40°.

Currently at 0816 the temperature is 39.8°, dew point temperature 38°, relative humidity 93%, and barometric pressure at 30.19″ and rising.

Fall color continues to be popping out locally this week, with probably 20-40 % color now in the area. Today’s featured image and imbedded image below showcases my first significant color change of the season in my apartment complex, taken on Sunday morning. 

The sky is sunny and clear with temperatures in the upper 30s. 

Good morning from the Walrus early on this Tuesday.
