WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND WEATHER UPDATE – WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 17, 2021
My wrist discomfort bothered me a bit less today but I still have weakness with certain muscle movements/actions that was more troubling at times. Wearing the wrist brace overnight and applying the Voltaren twice today. I still need to make tonight’s post a bit shorter as I have been the past few days to somewhat reduce my typing efforts.
Wednesday was partly cloudy with lessening winds and milder temperatures during the afternoon. I reached the low 60s mark for today’s high in the mid afternoon with dew points ranging from the mid 30s in the very early morning around midnight to the low 50s by the late evening. We peaked with our maximum temperature (61.0) of the day in the mid afternoon while the low temperature was milder, in the upper 30s (38.2) in the very early (overnight) morning.
The peak wind gust for the day (15 MPH) decreased some more from yesterday, “peaking” in the later evening, veering over to a SW direction from yesterday. Barometric pressures were highest in the morning while the lowest was reached in the very late evening, about 15 minutes before midnight.
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 sunny to partly cloudy and colder with highs in the mid-upper 40s and lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Sunday looks to be cloudy and a bit milder with highs in the low 50s and lows in the upper 30s. Rain looks to return on Monday with seasonable 50s and 30s temperatures.

The attached image for today shows our partly sunny Thursday afternoon balcony view with our now peaked fall foliage outside my bedroom window looking NE (11/11). Sorry for the lateness of this post. I had problems connecting with the weathertogether.net server earlier but I finally resolved the issues this evening.
