Thursday was mostly sunny in the AM, chilly (mid 30s) in the early AM with some frost around then remaining cool all day (low 50s) with slowly increasing clouds as a classic nor-easter is moving in from the south (the classic altostratus sky with the milky sun that occurs most times with pre-nor’easter weather less than a day from arrival – see today’s featured image, taken out the front of my apartment building looking west at around 1700). 

Thursday’s max temperature was 51.0° at 1535.

You can get my 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.

Thursday had no rain. October 2018 so far has had 1.39″ of rainfall at my location with my year-to-date precipitation at 49.81″.

Thursday was partly cloudy and remaining cool. Mostly sunny in the AM, slowly increasing clouds in the PM hours. Highs were in the low 50s and lows in the mid 30s with scattered areas of frost.

Friday will be cloudy and cool with an 80 POP for PM rain (starting around mid-afternoon) as a nor’easter moves up the SE coast for Friday PM and Saturday AM with rain, heavy at times, and with winds picking up from the NE. Last QPF (Quantatative Precipitation forecast) figures I have seen indicate as much as 2-3 inches may fall in the region. Cooler on Friday with low 50s for highs, mid 40s for lows which will be quite chilly during the rainy periods.

Saturday should be cloudy and cool with a 60 POP for showers, mostly in the AM but chances still present in the PM hours with highs in the low 50s and lows in the mid 40s. Remaining windy at times during most of the day, but slowly decreasing later in the day.

Sunday looks to remain cloudy with highs in the upper 50s and lows in the mid 40s and only a 20 POP for rain.

Monday should be partly cloudy and continued cool with highs in the upper-mid 50s and lows in the upper 30s and once again only a 20 POP for rain.

Tuesday looks to be sunny with highs around 60° and lows in the mid 40s.  

Currently at 0456 the temperature is 40.0°, dew point temperature 38°, relative humidity 93%, and barometric pressure at 30.12″ and falling.

Fall color has been popping out locally this week, with probably 10-20 % color now in the area. 

Currently the sky is cloudy with temperatures around the 40° mark. 

Good morning from the Walrus early on this Friday.
