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 my 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.
Tuesday looks to be sunny and breezy at times, with the coolest temps of the week (around 50° for highs) with lows in the mid-upper 20s.
A gradual warmup during the rest of the week with high temperatures heading up into the upper 60s by Friday under partly cloudy skies. Lows gradually warming from the 30s into the 40s.
Cloudy skies (but still no rain) on Saturday with temps rising into the 70s and lows in the 40s.
Sunday should turn cooler along with more clouds, and a good chance of showers, highs in the mid 50s and lows in the mid-upper 30s.
Midnight Monday night found the temperature to be 41.7°, relative humidity 84%, pressure falling at 30.11″ and the dew point at 37.2° under a mostly cloudy sky.
Currently at 0513 the temperature is 39.1° under partly cloudy skies, relative humidity at 65%, barometric pressure rising at 30.17″, and the dew point at 28°.
Good early morning from the snowless walrus on this partly cloudy Tuesday.
