Friday started out nicely with pleasant temperatures, dry skies, and light winds. As the day wore on temps warmed but not as high as the previous two days, and with gradually lower dew points into the upper 50s and lower 60s by mid-afternoon into the evening.  Temperatures were in the mid 60s in the early AM, rising into the lower mid 80s by mid afternoon, then falling into the 70s by eveningtill observation time. 

The maximum temperature was 83.0° at 1519.

The minimum temperature was 65.4° at 0344.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a high of 68° @ 1106 down to a low of 58° @ 1557.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 86% @ 0328 down to a low of 44% @ 1357.

The barometric pressure ranged from a low of 29.74″ @ 0024 up to a high of 29.81″ @ 0648.

No precipitation fell on Friday. May finished up with a total rainfall of 6.24″. The year-to-date total is 20.29″.

My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall – use the cocorahs link shown below for that dataset) 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, normally just about in real-time now 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 on 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 every day of late 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.
