Despite a forecast for turning sunny on Saturday, clouds hung tough and kept us that way all day, therefore also still relatively cool, but dry and pleasant  The high temperature (upper mid 70s) for the day was reached in the mid-afternoon after another early morning min in the mid 60s. Dew point temperatures were at their highest at 70 degrees in the mid-afternoon after the lowest reading at 60 degrees was reached at midnight. Those values were exactly the same as yesterday’s they just occurred in a different pattern today. 

The maximum temperature was 77.4 degrees at 1554. 

The minimum temperature was 64.9 degrees at 0512.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a low of 60 degrees @ 0008 up to a high of 70 degrees @ 1658.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 86% @ 0816 down to a low of 74% @ 1449.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 30.37 inches @ 0000 down to a low of 30.16 inches @ 1854.

There was no precipitation on Saturday so the monthly total is still 0.42 inches. The year-to-date total is 38.08 inches.

My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall so please use the cocorahs link shown below) 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, available in real-time 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 and can be found on the web at 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 on most days (when I have had rain that is) 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.

My Wisconsin Badgers had a bye this week so I didn’t watch a lot of college football till the evening, when I finally arose from my bed from lots of interesting dreams and good sleep. I ate a turkey sausage, egg and cheese toasted bagel sandwich for breakfast before I crashed, then sometime after I arose I made a lunch/dinner combo of a seafood salad wrap with sliced tomatoes, orzo salad, V8 and then two black angus beef burgers with with hot pepper cheese, pickles and horseradish sauce grilled on the foreman.  I worked extensively on my August weather summary for the North Jersey Weather Observer (NJWO) Publication  WEATHERSHELTER, and also to prepare for a similar summary for publication on my blog here on weather together.net and on email. At this moment I only sent it out to the NJWO publication and to a few others on email. Please be looking for it very soon, probably after I get some rest soon (later today). I also had some mixed berries for dessert much later in the evening. 

Sunday is clearing up after a weak, dry frontal passage, with temps rising through the 70s and mostly sunny skies promised with highs in the mid 80s, lows in the low 60s. 

Monday should be partly to mostly sunny and a bit warmer, with highs in the upper 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s.

Tuesday through Thursday should be partly to mostly sunny and cooler with highs in the upper 70s to around 80 and lows mostly in the pleasant mid 50s. It looks like a dry week. Humberto has reached tropical storm status but is predicted to stay offshore in the SE US and then head east out into the North Atlantic, perhaps coming close to Bermuda by mid-week at the last advisory I have seen. 

On Midnight Saturday the temperature was 73.5 degrees, relative humidity 86%, pressure falling at 30.16 inches with the dew point temperature at 69 degrees under cloudy skies.

Currently at 1008 Sunday morning the temperature is 72.6 degrees under partly cloudy (scattered cirrostratus) skies, relative humidity at 73%, barometric pressure rising at 30.22 inches, and
the dew point temperature at 63 degrees.

Good morning from the walrus on this clearing Sunday. We should start seeing full sun by sometime this afternoon. (I know – famous last words)
