WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND WEATHER UPDATE – MONDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2021
My wrist discomfort bothered me a bit more today as I still have weakness with certain muscle movements/actions that was more troubling at times. Wearing the wrist brace overnight and applied Voltaren this afternoon. I need to make tonight’s post a bit shorter as I have been the past few days to somewhat reduce my typing efforts.
Monday was partly cloudy with increasing winds particularly in the afternoon at times with cool temperatures like yesterday during the afternoon. I reached the mid 40s mark for today’s high once again in the early afternoon with dew points ranging from the upper 20s in the afternoon to the mid 30s very early in the day. We peaked with our maximum temperature (46.6) of the day in the early afternoon while the low temperature was milder, in the upper 30s (38.7) in the mid evening.
The peak wind gust for the day (39 MPH) increased significantly from yesterday, “peaking” in the mid afternoon, veering around to a NW direction from yesterday. Barometric pressures were highest in the later evening while the lowest was reached in the very early morning, about an hour after midnight.
Tuesday looks to start warming back up into the low 50s for highs and lows in the mid 30s under partly cloudy skies. Wednesday should be sunny and warmer with highs in the low 60s and lows around 50. Clouds and rain are expected on Thursday with highs around 70 possible early before falling back into the 30s late in the day. Friday and Saturday should be partly cloudy and colder with highs in the mid 40s and lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s.
