West Rockville MD Weather

Friday continued our cloudy, showery (0.53″) pattern that had an added twist – the “back-door” cold front slid south today and we got some cool NE breezes that sent temps down into the 50s. The system is winding down as we head into the weekend and should finally end on Sunday. Temperatures maxed out in the mid 60s in the AM but dropped into the 50s later on. Occasional light rain/drizzle/mist and clouds are continuing into the early AM hours…

Partly cloudy by sunrise, calm and quite warm and humid most of the day, with high temps reaching the upper 80s and dew points well up into the 70s. The stage was set for evening fireworks.

Monday was quite a day. Starting out calm and peaceful with clouds and fog, and very stable temperatures in the upper 50s to around 60°, the afternoon really got going as temps finally started to warm up to around the 80° mark. A mesocale convective complex came roaring out of the Midwest and created heavy thunderstorms, high winds, vivid lightning and plenty of thunder. Depending on where you were in the area, the heavy weather took a variety of forms…

I was busy with my daughter Robin and my grandson wrapping up their visit here over most of the weekend, as they left here around 1600 on Sunday to fly back to Las Vegas, which they got safely back to by very early this morning in EDT. As I alerted to you about the probable lack of posts during parts of their visit I am combining two days into one post.  It was a great visit, time really flew on…
