West Rockville MD Weather

I keep running behind and have another 2 day (weekend) update to post today. We continue to change our weather depending on the position of this wandering stationary front that doesn’t look to move on out anytime soon, holding court to shape our weather for the entire upcoming week. Saturday was partly to mostly sunny, quite warm, and becoming more humid, with threats of storms late that hit other areas and not mine. Mother’s Day Sunday was spent in the…

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…

It appears that Mother Nature is turning on…
