Friday really changed over to a cloudy, much cooler pattern. Sprinkles/light showers fell in the area but didn’t amount to very much (0.03 inches), falling before sunrise in the early AM. The high temperature for the day was reached right at the start of the day at midnight in the lower mid 70s, but fell back into the 60s soon thereafter, reaching the mid 60s low for the day right after sunrise, and remained there all day. The PM max temp was 69.2 degrees at 1555.  Dew point temperatures were at their highest at 70 degrees at midnight, dropping to the daily low of 60 degrees by late morning and staying in the low 60s the rest of the day. 

The maximum temperature was 73.7 degrees at 0000. (PM Max temp 69.2 degrees at 1555)

The minimum temperature was 65.0 degrees at 0727.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a high of 70 degrees @ 0000 down to a low of 60 degrees @ 1041.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 93% @ 0503 down to a low of 74% @ 1732.

The barometric pressure ranged from a low of 30.17 inches @ 0000 up to a high of 30.39 inches @ 1244.

There was 0.03 inches of precipitation on Friday so the monthly total is now at 0.42 inches. The year-to-date total is 38.08 inches.

My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall so please use the cocorahs link shown below) 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, available in real-time 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 and can be found on the web at 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 on most days (when I have had rain that is) 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.

I did some communication work from bed in the afternoon before rising to get my usual late breakfast and get cleaned up a bit for our weekly rummikub game at 1830.  We had two full tables and played for a few hours. Thereafter, I watched some baseball and updated the Friday night local high school football scoreboard, and prepared a nice dinner of baked Alaskan pollock, some tater tots and mixed normandy vegetables. I had a frozen fudge bar much later for dessert. I continued to work on data input of my August spreadsheet weather data to prepare for my final monthly reports and summaries to come in the next few days. I talked with Ray for some time about the variety of topics we usually discuss, not just weather but sports and music too. 

Saturday and Sunday look to warm up a bit with more clouds than sun, highs in the low-mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s.

Monday should be partly to mostly sunny and a bit warmer, with highs in the upper 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s.

Tuesday through Thursday should be partly to mostly sunny and cooler with highs in the upper 70s to around 80 and lows in the pleasant mid 50s.

On Midnight Friday the temperature was 67.2 degrees, relative humidity 79%, pressure falling at 30.37 inches with the dew point temperature at 60 degrees under cloudy skies.

Currently at 0747 Saturday morning the temperature is 65.8 degrees under cloudy skies, relative humidity at 85%, barometric pressure falling at 30.31 inches, and the dew point temperature at 61 degrees.

Good early morning from the walrus on this cloudy Saturday.  We should start seeing some sun by mid-day today.
