WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND WEATHER UPDATE – TUESDAY OCTOBER 26, 2021

My back pain has continued to persist at times and my wrist/arm pain is continuing though a bit better on that today with several Voltaren applications. I am treating
my pain at times with rest and acetaminophen, and used the wrist brace a few times today along with the Voltaren applications. I encounter discomfort in certain body
positions at times during the day, especially when first getting up, which caused me significant problems. I also used a heating pad today I got some answers from my
doctor. He endorsed the use of tylenol PM and gave me some exercises for my back to stretch and loosen the muscles.

Tuesday was mostly cloudy and a good deal cooler with a few very light showers and a lot more wind at times today. I only reached the low 60s for today’s high with
dew points dropping from the upper 50s early to the lower 40s late. We peaked with our max temperature (62.5) of the day in the late morning while the low temperature
around 50 was reached in the mid-evening.

The peak wind gust for the day (45 MPH) was strong with gales persisting a good deal during the day, peaking in the early afternoon, veering around to a NW direction.
Barometric pressures were highest in the late evening while the lowest was reached in the late morning.

Wednesday and Thursday should moderate a little with highs in the low-mid 60s and lows in the upper 40s-low 50s under dry, partly to mostly cloudy skies. Clouds, rain,
and potentially strong winds should return on Friday with highs and lows in the 50s continuing into part of Saturday.
