Friday was partly to mostly sunny with moderating temperatures. High temperatures reached into the low 50s by mid afternoon after early AM min temps around 30.  Dew point temperatures were still below freezing, but moderated similarly to the air temperature, rising from the mid 20s in the very early morning hours up to the 30 mark by early evening.

The maximum temperature was 51.2 degrees at 1431.

The minimum temperature was 30.5 degrees at 0155.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a low of 24 degrees @ 0010 up to a high of 30 degrees @ 1755.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 82% @ 0810 down to a low of 41% @ 1410.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 30.34 inches @ 0000 down to a low of 30.22 inches @ 1515.

The highest daily peak wind gust recorded across the street on the roof of the new USG building was 19 MPH that was recorded at 1138 from the W. Please remember that this anemometer is at a non-standard height of 60 feet above ground level (AGL), which can cause greater wind speeds than at the standard 33 feet AGL.

There was no precipitation on Friday. My November monthly total precipitation is 0.25 inches. My November monthly total snowfall is a trace. The year-to-date precipitation total is 44.82 inches.

My current downstairs station data is now 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.

Friday was a somewhat sleepy day, after a breakfast of a sausage, cheese, and egg muffin before crashing. I got up in the late afternoon and hurriedly got ready for our weekly rummikub game which I had forgotten had started a half hour earlier than we have been (1800 vs 1830). We had two tables of three players playing for a few hours. I watched a bit of Friday Night Smackdown on FOX, plus some hallmark movies. I got the necessary details all finished for our apartment wide Thanksgiving dinner (a week early on the 21st) that is always a great time, as I love turkey and the trimmings. 

On Saturday there should be a bit of a cooldown with low-mid 40s for highs and upper 20s for lows under partly cloudy skies.

Sunday and Monday should be mostly cloudy with a coastal storm just offshore and highs in the low-mid 40s and lows in the mid 30s. It will be breezy at times with rain showers staying south and east of my immediate area at times as it looks now on Monday.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday should be partly cloudy with moderating temperatures, highs in the low-mid 50s and lows in the mid 30s except mid 40s on Thursday.

At Midnight Friday, clear skies with a temperature of 40.5 degrees, relative humidity 57%, pressure rising at 30.27 inches with a dew point temperature of 26 degrees. 

Currently at 0954 EST Friday the temperature is 39.5 degrees under sunny skies, relative humidity at 59%, barometric pressure rising at 30.42 inches, and the dew point temperature at 26 degrees. Winds are averaging 8 MPH over the past 10 minutes from the E. Peak wind gust since midnight has been 24 MPH from the E at 0902.

Good morning from the walrus on this chillier but quite sunny Saturday.
