WEST ROCKVILLE MARYLAND WEATHER UPDATE – SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2021
My carpal tunnel syndrome/Arthritis continues to respond well to my treatments and my hand is improving thankfully. Voltaren is working well so far. Only further
applications with time will tell the final tale.
Saturday was warmer and still humid but partly cloudy and dry. I reached the lower mid-80s for highs with dew points rising from the upper 60s early to lower mid-70s
by midday. We peaked with our max temperature (83.6) of the day in the later mid-afternoon. The low temperature for the day (upper 60s) was reached in the early morning hours less than an hour before sunrise.
The peak wind gust for the day (16 MPH) was light once again, “peaking” mid-afternoon, veering back over to a W direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the morning while the lowest was reached in the late mid-afternoon.
Sunday should be sunny and warm with highs in the low 80s and lows in the mid 60s. Increasing cloudy periods Monday into Tuesday and cooler with highs in the upper 70s
and lows in the 60-65 range. Cloudy and cooler on Wednesday and Thursday with good chances of rain, highs in the low-mid 70s and lows in the mid-upper 50s.
