WEATHER UPDATE – WEDNESDAY MAY 5, 2021 – WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND

I have been out of town earlier this week which is why I have not been reporting the past few days.

Wednesday was partly cloudy and a bit cooler with lows in the mid 50s and highs in the mid 70s, reached by early afternoon. Moderate N winds brought in the cooler air
along with occasional light showers.

After a sunny mild day on Thursday, the next few days will be noticeably cooler (mainly 60s for highs and 40s for lows) conditions and more clouds with showers falling
on Friday, Sunday and Monday.
