Partly cloudy, dry and even warmer with high temperatures reaching into the springlike mid 60s by early afternoon after mild minimums in the mid 40s in the early AM.  Temperatures did start sliding down a bit in the evening, almost reaching the morning min temp around observation time.

The maximum temperature was 64.9° at 1316.

The minimum temperature was 46.8° at 0001.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a high of 44° @ 1845 down to a low of 16° @ 2345.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 58% @ 1910 down to a low of 28% @ 2215.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 29.89″ @ 0000 down to a low of 29.64″ @ 1450.

Friday had no precipitation. My February monthly total is still 1.47″ with my year-to-date total at 5.05″ for 2019.

No snow/sleet fell on Friday. My year-to-date snowfall is still 16.7″ with the seasonal total at 18.8″.

My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall – use the cocorahs link shown below for that dataset) 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, normally just about in real-time now 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 on https://www.cocorahs.org/

Please remember that 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 at times so should not be used except for general precipitation timing. For example during our big snowstorm back in mid-January the snow didn’t melt at all during the storm, and only started to record precipitation amounts a few days later when the sun and above freezing temperatures started to melt the snow.

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. I also use a snow stake outside my balcony window to get an idea on how much snow has fallen (while it is snowing) and how much snow is on the ground.

Saturday should be partly cloudy with highs in the low 40s, lows in the mid 20s. Our chances of snow have moved south of my area in the southern VA area as of the latest forecast.

Sunday should be cloudy with highs around 40° and lows in the mid 30s with mostly a rain chance later in the day, perhaps mixed with sleet at times.

Monday should be cloudy and milder, with highs in the low 50s and lows in the mid 20s.

Tuesday should be cloudy and dry with highs in the low 40s with lows in the upper 20s. 

Wednesday should be our next good snow chance, with highs in the mid 30s and lows in the low 30s. Still might mix with rain at times. Stay tuned on this one.

Thursday should be cloudy and milder with a chance of more rain. Highs should reach into the mid 40s, lows in the upper 20s. 

Midnight Friday night found the temperature at 48.0°, relative humidity 29%, pressure rising at 29.81″ and the dew point at 17.2° under partly cloudy skies.

Currently at 0738 the temperature is 36.3° under broken altostratus overcast skies, relative humidity at 50%, barometric pressure rising at 29.91″, and the dew point at 19°.

Good morning from this snowless walrus on this somewhat cloudy start to Saturday. Have a nice President’s Day weekend. I started my NOAA career on 2/17/74 at the end of this holiday weekend, 45 years ago!
