A mostly sunny, slightly cooler and dry weather update for West Rockville Maryland for Sunday August 13 2017
Remember now you can get the new ground-based VP2 data on Weatherlink. You can access the data through http://www.weatherlink.com/user/walrusman444I got up in the late afternoon after talking with Ray and Robin on the phone, along with my online friend Deb, a delightful surprise, for the first time. I took a shower and got the day started working on a good bit of email and Facebook with Robin/Gideon interacting on face-time once again. I watched a good it of the ESPN Sunday night game between the Yanks and Red Sox unfortunately won 3-2 by Boston in extra innings. I ate a seafood salad bagel sandwich along with cheese infused macaroni salad. I had some spicy low sodium V8 juice along with it. Later in the evening I had a dark chocolate Klondike bar. I had my usual water intake and vitamins and medicines that I take every day.
We now have partly cloudy skies, with temperatures in the upper 60s at 0710. Scattered showers may develop this afternoon over the area, a 30 POP right now. Tuesday through Thursday should see partly cloudy to cloudy skies (Tuesday), highs in the low-mid 80s, lows in the upper 60s with only a 10-20 POP for rain till Thursday, when the POP increases to 40 for showers and thunderstorms.
On Channel 4 radar at 0710 shows scattered showers to our SW and W, over parts of SW VA, WV, and KY.
As of 0710 EDT, the data from the VP2 (coming from the ground radiation shield about 4 feet off the ground just under and out from the balcony) and the USG VP2 station across the street (The Weatherbug 10 app displaying Lakewood Country Club WXBug station data is not working) are as follows :
