WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND WEATHER UPDATE – SATURDAY JUNE 12, 2021
Saturday was a bit of a rebound day with milder max temps in the mid 70s reached in the late afternoon. We dried out but still had cloudy, below normal temps holding. Minimum temps were reached in the more normal early morning hours. Dew points remained in the 60s to once again correspond with the moderate air temperatures.
The lighter winds peaked very early in the morning and remained in a persistent E direction that kept us cloudy all day. Barometric pressures were similar to yesterday’s values and time of occurrence.
