I cannot post my Monday weather update because it won’t let me load the featured image, which is necessary for posting. The text of my Monday update will hopefully follow, without links as they are not allowed to be in activity feed posts:
Partly cloudy, a bit warmer temps with a return southerly flow marked the conditions for Monday. The high temperature (mid 80s) for the day was reached in the mid-afternoon after early morning mins in the low 60s.  Dew point temperatures were at their lowest around 60 degrees in the very beginning of the day, then rose gradually through the 60s to an upper 60s by evening.

The maximum temperature was 85.5 degrees at 1550.

The minimum temperature was 63.3 degrees at 0655. 

The dew point temperatures ranged from a low of 60 degrees @ 0000 up to a high of 68 degrees @ 2001.

The relative humidity values ranged from a high of 92% @ 0744 down to a low of 46% @ 1428.

The barometric pressure ranged from a high of 30.11 inches @ 0008 down to a low of 29.95 inches @ 1743.

There was no precipitation on Monday so the monthly total is still 0.42 inches. The year-to-date total is 38.08 inches.

My current online data is showing regularly on Weather Underground. My data is posted there every 5 minutes. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called Gardens of Traville. Data is online, available in real-time as it is being updated on a 5 minute interval.

I contribute my precipitation data daily to CoCoRaHS as Rockville 2.8 WNW, Station ID MD-MG-115.

Please remember that my Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge, just as it does on WxLink 2.0. The tipping bucket has been producing erratic values on most days (when I have had rain that is) so should not be used except for general precipitation timing.

I actually use the data I post to CoCoRaHS from my 4 inch CoCoRaHS gauge I read manually as my official precipitation total each day.

Monday was internet weather show day from Buffalo with host Jack Kanack and his cohost JJ Ptak that is always enjoyable to listen to. You learn on what is going on in western NY state, the country and tropical weather around the world. I got busy on the phone thereafter with Marty, Robin and my sister from Michigan. Almost all at the same time! Talk about multitasking!! I didn’t crash till late afternoon after all this activity finally died down. And I crashed out till late evening, missing most of the MNF action between the hapless Jets and the Browns, won by the Browns 23-3. I made mashed cauliflower in the microwave from Schwan’s and finished up the Three cheese stuffed shells with Vodka sauce cooked in the oven for a scrumptuous dinner. I placed the grocery delivery order from Fresh Direct  and talked a bit with Marty while finishing up the order which arrived Tuesday evening.

Monday was partly cloudy and warmer, with highs in the mid 80s after lows in the low 60s. 

Tuesday was partly to mostly cloudy with a few light showers in the area but nothing measurable at my station. Temps have cooled down, holding in the 70s all day. It has cleared out this evening and temps should drop into the mid 50s during the overnight. 

Mostly sunny and cooler temps the rest of the workweek with highs in the low-mid 70s and lows well down into the very pleasant 50s through Thursday. It looks like a dry week. Humberto has reached hurricane status now but is heading east out into the North Atlantic, perhaps coming close to Bermuda by mid-week.

Friday should start warming up to around 80 after one more pleasant night in the mid 50s.

Saturday and Sunday should warm up some more with continued sunny skies, pleasant overnight temps around 60. High temps will reach well into the 80s to near 90. 

On Midnight Monday the temperature was 74.7 degrees, relative humidity 74%, pressure rising at 30.02 inches with the dew point temperature at 66 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.

Currently at 2045 Tuesday evening the temperature is 72.8 degrees under mostly clear skies, relative humidity at 63%, barometric pressure rising at 30.12 inches, and the dew point temperature at 59 degrees.

Good evening from the walrus on this clear Tuesday.
