Tuesday and Wednesday were just a bit less dreary than the previous two days, with light rain (0.03 inches) Tuesday AM along with fog but basically dry though mostly cloudy during the remainder of the period. The coastal LOW that has been moving slowly up the Eastern Seaboard the past several days finally left our coastal sections, and some sun was actually noted Wednesday afternoon (see some semblance of that shown in today’s attached image). High temperatures rose into the lower 50s both days after early AM min temps in the upper 30s on Tuesday and lower 40s around midnight late Wednesday evening.  Dew point temperatures rose were in the low 40s Tuesday morning, but fell to the 30s most of Wednesday. 

Tuesday

The maximum temperature was 52.1 degrees at 1502.

The minimum temperature was 39.2 degrees at 0529.

There was 0.03 inches of precipitation on Tuesday. My November monthly total precipitation is 0.33 inches. My November monthly total snowfall is a trace. The year-to-date precipitation total is 44.90 inches.

Wednesday

The maximum temperature was 51.1 degrees at 1401.

The minimum temperature was 43.1 degrees at 2359.

The dew point temperatures ranged from a high of 40 degrees @ 0000 down to a low of 34 degrees @ 2354.

The highest daily peak wind gust recorded across the street on the roof of the new USG building was 29 MPH that was recorded at 1403 from the NW. 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 Wednesday. My November monthly total precipitation is still 0.33 inches.
My November monthly total snowfall is a trace. The year-to-date precipitation total is still 44.90 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.

Tuesday was kind of a wipe out day and i crashed early. As a result I was up relatively early (for me) on Wednesday morning. I had a big bowl of cereal and sliced banana, along with a chocolate energy shake and a pot of coffee so I was supercharged the rest of the day. I actually had a late lunch consisting of a chicken salad sandwich with sliced tomato and some potato salad. My cleaning engineer and her assistant came to clean during the mid-late afternoon, and really spiffed up the place. I finished up the remaining spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, along with some spicy V8. I tried to figure out my master 2019 data spreadsheet so I could safely input my October data into it, but could not solve the September glitch so the October data is off to a slower than hoped for start. But I did import my daily precipitation values from cocorahs, which does help with mistake-free data inputting. I talked at some length finally with Ray, and emailed a lot of people due to an impending retirement next week of a former office co-worker friend of mine. I also talked with Robin on her way home and hope to still catch her from home and talk and see Gideon through our usual face-time connection. 

Thursday should be partly cloudy with similar temperatures to Wednesday with highs in the low 50s and lows in the mid 40s.

Friday should stay mild (highs in the low 50s) with lows around 40 with rain at times from a strengthening mid-country LOW pressure system tracking towards the East Coast.

Saturday looks cooler ( highs in the mid 40s and lows in the upper 30s) with more rain winding down late.

Sunday should clear partially with highs in the upper 40s and lows in the lower 30s but drying out. 

At Midnight Wednesday, clear skies with a temperature of 43.1 degrees, relative humidity 70%, pressure rising at 30.25 inches with a dew point temperature of 34 degrees.

Currently at 0122 EST Thursday the temperature is 41.4 degrees under clear skies, relative humidity at 73%, barometric pressure rising at 30.27 inches, and the dew point temperature at 33 degrees. Winds  are averaging 4 MPH over the past 10 minutes from the NW.  Peak wind gust since midnight has been 12 MPH from the NW at 0013. Today’s attached image was from a mid-afternoon visit to my rain gauge, showing the partial clearing skies at the time, looking towards the WNW.

Good early morning from the walrus on this clear Thursday overnight.
