Wednesday continued warm and basically dry with partly sunny skies. 

There were some sprinkles in the area but I did not observe/accumulate any here at my station.

High temperatures reached the low 80s mark by mid-afternoon,  after early morning lows in the upper mid 60s.

Wednesday’s max temperature was 81.6° at 1549.
Tuesday’s min temperature was 67.9° at 0709.

Dew point temperatures ranged from a high of 70° @ 0927 down to a low of 64° @ 2340.

Relative humidity values ranged from a high of 96% @ 0504 down to a low of 62% @ 1600.

Barometric pressure ranged from a low of 30.03″ @ 0056 up to a high of 30.09″ @ 1113.

You can get the VP2 data on Weatherlink. I have migrated over to Weatherlink 2.0

so I have a new link for my data. You can now access the data through:

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:

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.

 

October 2018 has had 0.00″ of rainfall at my location so far with my year-to-date precipitation still at 48.42″.

 

Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday was partly cloudy, milder and more humid than yesterday.  

Dew points started the day around 70° but dropped into the mid 60s by the late evening, drying out some.        

Wednesday was partly sunny and warm with highs in the low 80s and lows in the upper-mid 60s.

Thursday should be partly sunny and warmer, with highs up in the upper-mid 80s and lows in the upper 50s

as a cold front pushes through late in the day.

Friday should be mostly sunny and cooler, with highs around 70° and lows in the low 60s.

Saturday should be partly cloudy and remain relatively cool with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 60s

with a 40 POP for AM showers. Sunday will have AM clouds and PM sun, with highs in the low 80s and lows

in the mid 60s.

It looks mostly like a dry start to the month of October, and longer range predictions through the middle of the month (at least) are for this warmer, drier weather to persist.

Our first freeze/frost looks to be several weeks away, as it has been trending later in the fall over the past few years.

Currently at 0235 the temperature is 67.7°, dew point temperature 64°,
relative humidity 87%, barometric pressure at 30.04″ and steady.

Currently I have clear skies and mild overnight temperatures in the mid-upper 60s.

Good morning from the Walrus early on this Thursday.
