Tuesday was partly sunny and still warm but not quite as warm as Monday with high temps in the upper-mid 70s after very mild early AM temps no lower than 60°.  Conditions started to dry as the day progressed, and the brief muggy interlude is over for now. But it is a harbinger of conditions to come, unfortunately. 

The maximum temperature was 77.2° at 1725.

The minimum temperature was 60.2° at 0710.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a high of 61° @ 0005 down to a low of 28° @ 2230.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 92% @ 1453 down to a low of 23% @ 2120.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 29.80″ @ 0025 down to a low of 29.54″ @ 1650.

Tuesday had no precipitation. April still has a total of 0.25″ of precipitation. The year-to-date total is 11.94″.

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.

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.

Mostly sunny with some clouds, breezy and cooler on Wednesday, with highs in the mid 60s and lows in the low 40s.

Mostly cloudy on Thursday with highs in the mid 60s and lows around 50°.

Cloudy skies expected on Friday with highs around 70° and lows around 60°. The weekend through Monday looks very unsettled, with temps around 70° for highs and mid-upper 50s for lows with showers and thundershowers probable at times during the afternoon and evening. 

Midnight Tuesday night found the temperature to be 61.7°, relative humidity 29%, pressure rising at 29.73″ and the dew point much lower at 29.1° under mostly clear skies.

Currently at 0649 the temperature is 51.5° under clear skies, relative humidity at 49%, barometric pressure rising at 29.85″, and the dew point at a still low 33°.

Good morning from the walrus on this clear and soon to be sunny Wednesday.
