Saturday, May 4 was mostly cloudy, muggy but dry most of the day with similar temps to Friday (High temps in the mid 70s and lows in the low 60s.) Showers (0.15″) developed in the latter part of the evening and continued on during the overnight hours. 

The maximum temperature was 73.8° at 1449.

The minimum temperature was 61.8° at 0600.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a low of 60° @ 0600 up to a high of 67° @ 1433.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 96% @ 0409 down to a low of 75% @ 1457.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 29.93″ @ 0015 down to a low of 29.78″ @ 1937.

There was a total of 0.15″ of precipitation falling late on Saturday.  May now has 0.83″ of rainfall so far. There is a correction to be made for the raiinfall amount on Friday. It should have been 0.31″ and not 0.38″. Figures in this paragraph reflect these corrected values. The corrected year-to-date total is now 14.88″.

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.

Overnight Saturday into Sunday has been cloudy with occasional rain showers and temps in the upper low 60s. 

On Sunday conditions should be cloudy and cooler with highs in the mid 60s and lows in the lower mid 50s with rain falling during most of the day.

Monday should be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s.

Tuesday should be warmer with high temps in the low 80s, lows in the mid 50s, under sunny skies.

Cloudy skies and cooler temperatures are expected on Wednesday with highs in the mid 60s and lows in the mid 50s. 

Thursday should be cool and cloudy with rain, highs in the mid 60s and lows in the low 60s.

Warmer on Friday with highs around 80°, lows in the mid-upper 50s, and a chance of showers and thundershowers.  Our meandering warm front continues to waver north to south giving us this variety of weather, pretty typical of May in this area. 

Midnight Saturday night found the temperature to be 66.3°, relative humidity 93%, pressure steady at 29.82″ and the dew point at 64.2° under cloudy, damp skies. 0.28″ has registered in my tipping bucket rain gauge since midnight. 

Currently at 0442 the temperature is 63.0° under cloudy skies, relative humidity at 95%, barometric pressure falling at 29.74″, and the dew point at 62°.

Today’s featured image was taken late on Thursday afternoon about an hour before sunset at my apartment complex on my way over to my weekly trivia game. It is slightly different than the image I used in my previous report.

Good morning from the walrus on this damp Sunday. A flash flood watch continues to be posted for our area through most of today (Sunday) Have a great day!
