Cloudy and mild in the AM, with rain (0.75″) from about 0200-0920 then slow clearing the rest of the day with winds increasing as the LOW pulls away and the HIGH moves in. Low temps in the mid 30s early AM, then rising into the mid 50s by later in the afternoon, then slowly cooling off into the mid 40s by later in the evening. A HIGH WIND ADVISORY then WARNING is progressing into the area late Sunday and Monday.

My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall – use the cocorahs link shown below for that dataset) is showing regularly on Weather Underground. My data is posted there every 5 minutes. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called “Gardens of Traville.” Data is online, normally just about in real-time now as it is being updated on a 5 minute interval. The web address for my data on weather underground is:
https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMDROCKV200

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

Please remember that my Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge, just as it does on WxLink 2.0. The tipping bucket has been producing erratic values at times so should not be used except for general precipitation timing. For example during our big snowstorm back in mid-January the snow didn’t melt at all during the storm, and only started to record precipitation amounts a few days later when the sun and above freezing temperatures started to melt the snow. This scenario also developed nicely last Thursday as the sun melted most if not all of the snow in the tipping bucket rain gauge. 0.86″ passed through the tipping bucket all day Thursday even though no precipitation fell from the sky.

I actually use the data I post to CoCoRaHS from my 4 inch CoCoRaHS gauge I read manually as my “official” precipitation total each day. I also use a snow stake outside my balcony window to get an idea on how much snow has fallen (while it is snowing) and how much snow is on the ground as I did this past Wednesday.

Monday should be sunny, cooler and windy with highs in the low 40s and lows in the mid 20s. HIGH WIND WARNING in effect

Tuesday should be mostly sunny with highs in the mid 40s and lows in the low-mid 20s.

Wednesday and Thursday should be partly cloudy with high temps in the mid 40s, lows in the mid 30s.

Snow and rain is expected to fall on Friday, with highs in the low 40s and lows in the mid 30s. Saturday should be cloudy and milder with rain, highs in the low 50s but with the temp dropping late, lows in the mid 20s.

Midnight Sunday night found the temperature at 43.4°, relative humidity 41%, pressure rising at 29.75″ and the dew point at 21.2° under a clearing sky.

Currently at 0824 the temperature is 38.0° under clear, dry, windy skies, relative humidity at 32%, barometric pressure rising at 30.01″, and the dew point at 10°. 

Good morning from the sunny, windblown walrus on this  dry Monday.
