Fathers Day Sunday was partly sunny, mostly sunny AM, increasing clouds PM with some threatening looking clouds in the early evening that didn’t develop any further into rain, warmer, more humid but still with no rain yet. Temperatures rose from the mid 60s in the early AM to the mid 80s in the mid-late afternoon hours, then only fell back into the upper mid 70s by midnight observation during another warmer evening period. Dew point temperatures started out in the upper 50s in the AM hours, rising into the muggy low 70s by mid afternoon and remaining there the rest of the day.

The maximum temperature was 84.8 degrees at 1646.

The minimum temperature was 64.0 degrees at 0555.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a low of 57 degrees @ 0003 up to a high of 73 degrees @ 1738.

The relative humidity values ranged from a low of 61% @ 0000 up to a high of 85% @ 0545.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 29.98 inches @ 0025 down to a low of 29.83 inches @ 1830.

There was no precipitation on Sunday. There has been 1.66 inches of rain recorded so far in June. The year-to-date total is 21.95 inches.

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 every day of late 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.

Father’s Day Sunday was rather uneventful for me. I just talked on the phone with my two daughters, including face time with Robin and my grandson Gideon, and chatted on the phone with two of my close weather friends Ray and Marty. I fixed up a casserole of sorts of au gratin potatoes, turkey sausage and green beans. Got plenty of it leftover to make another meal out of.

Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy, very warm and humid with good chances of showers and storms this afternoon. A flash flood watch has been posted from 1400-2200 EDT with a 70 POP for rain, possibly heavy in storms during the afternoon and evening with highs in the upper 80s and lows staying muggy warm around 70°. 

Tuesday through Thursday should be partly to mostly cloudy, warm, humid with daily chances of showers and storms with highs in the low-mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s. 

Friday and Saturday look mostly cloudy but dry, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s. 

Midnight Sunday recorded a muggy temperature of 77.6°, relative humidity 80%, pressure rising at 29.89 inches and a dew point temperature of 71° under partly cloudy skies.

Currently at 0556 the temperature is 70.6° under partly cloudy (broken altostratus) skies, relative humidity at 87%, barometric pressure rising at 29.96 inches, and a dew point of 67°.

Good morning from the walrus early on this Monday.
