Remember now you can get the VP2 data on Weatherlink. You can access the data through http://www.weatherlink.com/user/walrusman444  I am posting daily to weather underground. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called “Gardens of Traville.” Data is online, normally just about in real-time. The web address for my data on weather underground is: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMDrockv200#history/ I contribute daily to cocorahs as Rockville 2.8 WNW, Station ID MD-MG-115 on https://www.cocorahs.org/  Please remember that Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge. I actually use the data I post to cocorahs from my 4″ cocorahs gauge I read manually as my “official” precipitation total each day.

September monthly precipitation is still holding for one more day at 6.67″ with my year-to-date precipitation holding at 44.75″. Light rain has already fallen early on this Saturday morning, accompanied by low 70s temps and 70° dew points with steadier rain falling on Sunday with temperatures dropping further into the lower 60s and lows in the upper 50s. Cool on Monday, warming up on Tuesday with partly to mostly cloudy skies and a 90 POP for thunderstorms at times. Showery, unsettled weather appears to be hanging around for most of the upcoming week. 

Currently at 0714 the temperature is 70.9°, dew point temperature at 70°, relative humidity 96%, barometric pressure at 30.10″ and rising.  Cloudy skies, light rain showers in the local region early this morning should be moving off later today before resuming sometime later in the afternoon or evening.

Good morning from the Walrus on this cloudy, unsettled early on this Saturday.
