WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND WEATHER UPDATE – THURSDAY NOVEMBER 18, 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 had a busy afternoon getting my moderna covid booster shot, signing my 2022 apartment lease, and enjoying our
Traville community thanksgiving dinner with some 40 other fellow residents, all in a big party room in building D up the street from my building B. 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.

Thursday was clear/sunny through mid-afternoon then turned cloudy thereafter with increasing winds and light evening showers which cleared out by later evening in time
for the overnight lunar eclipse. Before the clouds and showers arrived our temperatures soared into the low 70s during the early afternoon. I reached the low 70s mark for today’s high (72.4 – warmest max temp in November so far) in the early mid afternoon with dew points ranging from the mid 50s in the afternoon into the early
evening down to 30 just before midnight. Today’s low temperature was milder, in the mid 40s (43.7), right at midnight at the very end of the day.

The peak wind gust for the day (34 MPH) increased significantly from yesterday, “peaking” in the evening, veering over to a NW direction after the passage of the cold
front. Barometric pressures were highest right about midnight while the lowest was reached in the late afternoon, just as the showers started.

Friday through Tuesday should be sunny to partly cloudy and colder with highs in the mid-upper 40s on Friday and Saturday, mid 50s on Sunday with more clouds than sun,
then upper 40s on Monday and low-mid 40s on Tuesday and windy with lows generally in the upper 20s to mid 30s.
