Monday was mostly sunny, warm and dry yet again. Temperatures rose into the mid 80s with
lows in the mid 60s. Dew points rose above the 70° mark. Now at 0801 we have clear skies with
scattered high clouds and temperatures in the upper 60s and the dew points in the mid 60s. The
Monday minimum temperature from the VP2 in the shelter on the ground below my balcony
(67.0°) was recorded at 0417 while the maximum temperature (85.9°) was recorded at 1546.
Dew point temps ranged from 65° up to 73°. Relative humidity values were a bit higher than
yesterday (94% – 54%). Barometric values were a bit lower than yesterday, ranging from
30.06″ at 0931 down to 29.98″ at 1641.

Remember now you can get the ground-based VP2 data on Weatherlink. You can access the
data through http://www.weatherlink.com/user/walrusman444

I finally set up my new station on Weather Underground (KMDROCKV200), though it is not        transmitting from my new location yet. 

We now have clear skies with a few scattered high cirrus clouds with temperatures in the mid-
upper 60s at 0801 Tuesday. Sunny to partly cloudy skies will dominate our weather Tuesday and
Wednesday with very warm and dry conditions continuing. High temps should be in the mid 80s
with lows in the mid 60s. Thursday and Friday should turn cooler, with highs in the low-mid 70s
and lows in the much more comfortable low 50s. Cooler air will continue to work its way into the
weekend as we transition from September into October with rain hopefully starting to fall again
at the beginning of next week.

On Weatherbug at 0801 the radar is showing the outermost bands of showers associated with
Hurricane Maria off of the North Carolina coast, and some well off the coast of Massachusetts
associated with the dying remains of tropical storm Jose. Otherwise the Eastern US is clear at
this time.

As of 0801 EDT, the data from the VP2 (coming from the ground radiation shield about 4 feet
off the ground just under and out from the balcony), the Lakewood WXBug station and the USG
VP2 station across the street are as follows :

Station Relative Location Temp RH DP BP Wind High/Low temp today
VP2 Ground 69.1 87 64 30.00S NA 85.9/67.0

There was no rain in the cocorahs gauge on Monday.

September precipitation through midnight obs tonight was 2.56″.

Year-to-date precipitation total is now computed at 33.56″

VP2 Across the street (USG) NA NA NA 30.06S NA NA/NA

There was no rain reported once again in the USG gauge on Monday. The USG VP2 continues to
stay offline all day and is not providing me most data sets (save for barometric pressure
readings).
