High temps reached into the mid 70s by mid-afternoon, after early AM lows in the lower 60s.  Dense fog developed about 0715 and persisted till about 0845 when it started to lift out. Please see today’s featured image for a glimpse at what it looked like at the height of this foggy activity.

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.

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.

Sunday should be mostly cloudy and warm with highs once again up in the mid 70s. Showers and thundershowers should develop ahead of a cold front sometime during the evening or overnight into Monday. Lows will be dropping into the 50s by late evening.
