Friday began the month of October with a bit of leftover September moisture in about the first hour of the month, when just about all of today's rainfall occurred. Slow clearing throughout the morning then sunny and drier in the afternoon, and clear and further drying out on Friday evening. The weekend looks pretty nice, cooler, drier, more fall-like than it has been, with a small chance at some light
showers late on Sunday afternoon as a minor trough passes through. My official storm total for 9/29-10/1 (LR) was 5.41".

Sunday started clear and cool, but increasing clouds starting in the late morning through most of the afternoon then yielded some light evening rain through obs time tonight and into early Monday. We should be wet through the morning, then just cloudy later on in the PM, then a chance of rain showers on Tuesday, then gradually improving conditions leading up to a sunny, milder Columbus Day weekend as it looks now, admittedly quite far away. Temperatures should be quite fall-like at the beginning of the week, mostly in the 40s and 50s, but by the end of the week back up in the 70s by day and 50s by night.

On Tuesday the cloudiness continued but the rain didn't except for apparently a light shower around 0935 according to my VP2 data logger when the day's total of 0.01" fell. I was driving but closer to the office at the time and didn't witness any rain falling. But the way the patterns are and with the low cloudiness, it is certainly possible and I can't dismiss it. Cool temperatures continued, though not quite as cool as yesterday. Clouds should persist through Wednesday night, with a 40 POP for scattered showers to fall during the day on Wednesday into Wednesday evening. Thereafter, starting with Thursday, we should have sunny weather, with temps in the low to mid 70s through the weekend. No more rain in sight!

On Wednesday the cloudiness continued with rain showers around but nothing fell at my station till a light shower fell around 2100. The LOW spinning its magic north of us in PA/NY and New England is finally moving off, the skies have finally cleared after this last shower, and sun should return on Thursday with temps rising to a more seasonable 70-75 after the cool, cloudy, damp weather of the past few days.
This sunny, warm pattern looks to hold through the long holiday weekend. By the way, my cool high temp of 52.6 on Monday set a new record daily low max temp record for the date, surpassing my old record of 54 set back in 1998. A far cry from all the 90s we had this summer. I think Fall is here to stay for now, till the winds of winter invade in a few months. Leaves haven't changed much locally as yet around my immediate area, but they are a blaze up in the mountains to the west, and will start to turn here within the next week, amidst this extended sunny, mild period.

On Thursday after some very early morning cloudiness the day dawned clear with plenty of sun all day, and warming temperatures into the low 70s. Such will be the pattern the next several days, certainly covering the 3 day holiday weekend just about upon us. We should approach 80 the next few days, at least the upper 70s anyway. But always nice pleasant evenings with a lot more "night-time" for greater radiational cooling, and with dew points in the 40s and 50s we will approach those values for low temperatures.

Friday was sunny and a bit warmer than Thursday, after our coolest morning of the season (so far). Might hit 80° on Saturday under the still strong sun, but thankfully with low dew points in the 40s or low 50s. We should cool off a bit after that day, but with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s we are having quite a stretch of fine October weather.
Color change is minimal in this area so far, we probably won't hit peak change till
the end of the month, around Halloween.

Saturday was sunny and still a bit warmer than Friday,
inching up towards 80° but not quite reaching that mark at my station. The low temperature was a few degrees warmer than Thursday also. I noticed that some rain has crept into our 3 day holiday forecast for Monday, with a 40 POP for showers both during the day and at night. Sunday should be a similar day to Saturday with sun and temps in the upper 70s. Temps may warm into the low 80s for Monday to accompany the chance of showers. A gradual cool-down next week, with highs by the end of next week back down in the low to mid 60s. No really big rains expected at this point....
Color change is still minimal in this area so far (and even in areas to my north, as I rode up well into Carroll County near the PA border near Hanover on Saturday afternoon). We probably won't hit peak change till the end of the month, around Halloween.

Sunday was sunny and a tad cooler than Saturday with
a continued cool overnight with our lows in the upper 40s approaching our dew point temperature. A front lifted north on Sunday, quite subtle in that there was no rain associated with it, but southerly winds brought warmer temps this evening along with higher dew points, as they have been creeping upwards towards 60. Monday may find our high temps into the low to mid 80s under a still strong sun. Monday night through Tuesday night brings slight (20-30 POP) chances of showers and thunderstorms as a frontal system slowly approaches from the north. From Wednesday through the end of the week we should
be sunny and cooler, with temps in the 60s for highs and 40s for lows. ,
Color change is still minimal in this area so far.
We probably won't hit peak change till the end
of the month, around Halloween or perhaps into
early November, as has been the pattern the
past few years.

Tuesday was partly sunny and a bit cooler as a cold front worked its way through the area. Particularly cooler this evening and also drier, as dew points have dropped into the upper 40s, about 10° lower than this time last night. We should have a sunny,cooler day on Wednesday, then a general rain event on Thursday, with a 100 POP currently advertised by NWS for that day. Temps should remain mostly in the 50s on Thursday. Clearing and cool through the weekend, with sun and temps 60-65 and nighttime mins in the 40s. Still no chance at frost/freezing temps for the foreseeable future.
Color change is increasing to probably close to 1/3 of the trees in some stage of fall color. We still probably won't hit peak change till the end of the month, around Halloween or perhaps into early November, as has been the pattern the past few years.

Wednesday was sunny and noticeably cooler as the cold
front from yesterday moved south of the area. Clouds
have increased this evening in advance of our rain storm for Thursday. We should cool off some more tomorrow, staying in the 50s for most, if not all of the day under a steady rain. One inch rainfall amounts are predicted, but there may be closer to 2 inch values in scattered locations in the region. Clearing on Friday will be slow, as winds pick up on the backside of the storm, and persist into Saturday. It should be mostly sunny and cool over the weekend, with highs in the seasonable 60s. This trend should extend into the beginning of next week. Still no chance at frost/freezing temps for the foreseeable future.

Friday was a bit of a blustery day, seasonably cool, and partly cloudy. The 44 min this morning was my coolest of the season so far, but in roughly half of my 31 previous Octobers I would have had a freezing min by now. The weekend looks dry and sunny, remaining a bit blustery and cool on Saturday with temps in the 60s, warming up to about 70 on Sunday. We might have some showers by the middle of the upcoming week but remaining seasonably cool with no real cold outbursts and our first freeze of the year still not in the cards as yet.

Saturday was still a blustery day, still seasonably cool with more sun and slightly warmer temps than Friday. Sunday looks to continue with more sun, and a warm up into the low 70s and a slackening of the wind. More sun to start the workweek, but by midweek we should have a chance of rain (30-40 POP) showers with temps staying in the seasonable range of 60s by day and upper 40s by night. Still no real cold outbursts/our first freeze of the year in sight, just not in the cards as yet.

Sunday was sunny and still breezy, but with plenty of
sun and a more mountain downsloping component to the
days wind we warmed up considerably into the mid 70s.
Speaking of wind, I had my anemometer connections
worked on on Sunday, and the repairs have not been
completed, so from about 1300 on I have had no wind
speed or direction data. The day started cool, and my
low temp for the day was the coolest yet for the season. Tonight will not be as cool, but still clear. A weak cold front will pass through early tomorrow, and we will be cooler by about 5-10° on Monday with slowly increasing clouds as our rain system for Tuesday starts moving in from the west. POP is about 50% as of right now for this patch of showers
for most of Tuesday, then sunny and seasonably cool
in the 60s for highs and 40s for lows the rest of the
week.

times but the rain remained to our south all day.
We are in more changeable patterns nowadays, and
if you don't like the weather today, tomorrow will be
quite different and probably more to your liking.
Cool and mostly sunny the rest of the work week, then
warmer over the weekend, sunny on Saturday but cloudy with an increasing chance of showers on Sunday and Monday. Then clearing off by mid-week next week. But still no big cold outbreaks yet!

Thursday started out mild, cloudy and damp with
fog very early, but by mid-morning clearing skies
and drying winds blew in, as I had my second highest
PWG of the month (rather modest, and don't forget
I lost some wind data recently due to instrument
problems). Dew points really dropped, and I had my
lowest of the season by late afternoon. Frost is
possible late Friday night/early Saturday morning,
as temps finally should make it into the 30s. We might
get down into the 30s tonight actually. Should be a nice fall day on Friday, temps in the low 60s and dry. After the frosty early Saturday morning, temps should rebound (as the HIGH pressure moves off to the east) to around 70 on both weekend days. Then early next week we should remain in the mild 70s with 40 POPs for rain showers.

Saturday started out a bit frosty and cold, with
our first sub-40 min reading of the season, but
not a freezing min.... With tranquil conditions that
allowed the temps to drop into the mid 30s, once
the sun came out temperatures shot up quickly as
our high temperature approached the 70 mark.
Tonight the temperature will not be nearly as cool,
as mins should get no lower than the upper 40s
under still clear skies. On Sunday, mid 70s and sun,
the last clear day in a while. Rain showers and
mid 70s should predominate in our area for most of
the coming work week.

Tuesday was cloudy and warm, but only a very light
shower around 2330 just prior to tonight's obs that
yielded about 0.006" in my lake region gauge, which
rounds to 0.01", but nothing tripped in the VP2 gauge.
And still no more rain since midnight as of this moment (0125). Radar is showing light rain showers in the area, with much more out west, yet to come out of the mtns. We are in a tornado watch till 3 AM. POP is running at 100% through most of the morning. Light amounts are forecast for the next few hours. During the day on Wednesday, rain showers are forecast to continue most of the day, with clearing in the evening/overnight hours. Sunny with temps up in the 60s on Thursday, then sunny and noticeably cooler on Friday with highs only in the 50s. Should get down in the 30s on Friday night, then moderating some over the Halloween weekend.

Friday was our coolest sunny day of the fall season
so far with blustery winds at times giving us the
real "wind-chill" feeling that will becoming more
frequent in the coming weeks. And our dew point
temperatures didn't get out of the 30s all day !
We should have a sunny weekend, with a bit of a
moderation in the temperatures into the 60s after
tonight's venture into the low to mid 30s with frost
advisories out and a freeze warning in areas just to
my north and west in Frederick County MD and
Loudoun County VA. Next week looks cool and
unsettled as we unbelievably head into November!

Saturday was sunny, remaining cool after our coldest morning of the season so far, with early morning frost. Tonight we have some clouds around that have kept out temps up a bit, so there shouldn't be any frost tonight as lows drop to around 40. However, the next week looks to remain cool, as we get reinforcing shots of Canadian air that will keep us in the low 50s for highs and low to mid 30s for lows . We have a slight chance for showers around Wednesday (30 POP) but otherwise we should remain pretty dry. The winds have diminished on Saturday and look to remain pretty subdued on Sunday.

Sunday was Halloween and the closing day for the month of October. A bit of clouds at times overnight kept the low temp a bit above 40 with no frost this morning. Partly cloudy skies in the afternoon with some moderation in temperature as readings rose into the 60s. Still breezy at times so there was still the nip in the air. Sunday will be the warmest day we have all week, with temps looking to remain in the low to mid 50s, with lows in the 30s with frost the next few early mornings. Wednesday night and Thursday looks rainy right now (70 POP) under these cool temps. If anything thereafter we may actually be even a bit cooler than the early part of the week. Pretty far away, so stay tuned for those temps over the next few days.

Monday, the start of the new workweek and also the start of November, was a chilly reminder of the cold days ahead of us. Just seems like each day out of the past several gets a bit colder each day. Despite mostly sunny skies, the chill in the air was quite evident, and tonight the temps have been colder still, with a freezing min by sunrise Tuesday expected. Temps should hold in the 50s and 30s most of the week, though some rain on Thursday and Friday might keep the mins in the 40s Thursday night. Should be getting a bit colder still over the weekend despite sunny skies. Barometric pressure has risen to heights we haven't seen in a while, dry, cold air is usually found more often than not with higher air pressures.

Monday was mostly sunny, breezy at times but milder
than Sunday. Similar temps should persist through the
week, as high temps should remain in the upper 50s to low 60s, Lows should mostly be in the 30s. No rain in the outlook till maybe next Sunday. That big LOW offshore of the New England coast is far enough away from our area to not feel any precip affects locally, but the winds from the pressure gradient between the LOW and the HIGH pressure to our SW were great on Monday, but will slowly be diminishing as the week progresses and our coastal LOW starts to move more off the coast and into the North Atlantic Ocean.

Tuesday was mostly sunny, a bit less breezy but with
similar high temps to Monday. The overnight was not
as cool with no traces of frost. We are into what I call the "Groundhog Day" of weather patterns right now, named after that movie starring Bill Murray from a few years ago, where the day keeps repeating itself... Our days now are repeating themselves this week with highs around 60 and lows 35-40, after a first week of November with highs in the low 50s and lows in the 30s. The storm off the New England coast has been hanging around, and actually moving south closer to us, but still staying well offshore. As long as that storm sticks around, it is going
to keep stalling our weather patterns.

Wednesday was mostly sunny, a bit breezier than
Tuesday, and a tad warmer. But still basically the same. Quite a string of quiet, calm weather really. but with similar high temps to Monday. Should remain that way, in the upper 50s to low 60s for highs, upper 30s to low 40s for lows through the weekend and into the first part of next week, with a front finally pushing close enough by Tuesday/Wednesday to get some showers in the forecast and a bit cooler temps. Still nothing major as far as a big cold wave is concerned. Our offshore LOW has moved out to sea far enough to finally lessen the winds tonight and
cut off all New England remnant precipitation.

Saturday was yet another day in a long string of sunny, dry days with frosty mornings and mild afternoons that have been persisting for many days in a row now. Sunday should continue the streak, but then conditions will be changing as we head into the new workweek. Just cloudy on Monday as it looks now, then a really rainy day on Tuesday, as a storm moves our way from the south, but with the track to our west, going up the Appalachian Mtn chain, we will stay on the warm side of the storm. The storm will
exit early on Wednesday and then we should cool off for the rest of the week under sunny, dry conditions. Highs may not reach 50 by the end of the week. No more power problems thank goodness since the power problems on Friday night.

Sunday was yet another day in a long string of sunny,
dry days with frosty mornings and mild afternoons that
have been persisting for many days in a row now. However, clouds have come in tonight, keeping temps up a bit tonight, and foretelling a change in the winds for the upcoming week. The rain should hold off coming into our area for most of Monday during the day, but by sometime in the evening the rainfall should be coming in to stay a while, through sometime
on Wednesday. Thereafter, a cooling, but drying trend should ensue with temps not getting out of the 40s by Friday.

Monday was a transitional day from the dry, cool, sunny weather of the past several days to the upcoming rain of tomorrow. Increasing clouds most of the day, then clouds thicken in the evening, and rain showers move into the area by late evening, and a bit of light rain fell at the station just prior to midnight. Periods of rain look to fall overnight, and continue throughout Tuesday, particularly in the afternoon. We might even see a thunderstorm in the
early evening on Tuesday. Perhaps some remnant showers
on Wednesday morning but that day should be mostly dry
and improving. Sunny and cool on Thursday and Friday, then cloudy and a bit milder over the weekend as it looks now.

Tuesday was a cloudy, occasional rainy day that warmed
this evening as we entered into the warm sector of the
storm, and right now have a line of thunderstorms passing through the area. My station somehow missed these storms, which prompted severe storm warnings out of NWS a bit earlier. Winds have been strong at times, though my muted readings don't really reflect that. Areas of fog developed earlier during the more stable times prior to the passage of the warm front. Most of the rain was light, particularly overnight. We should clear out eventually overnight and into
early Wednesday, but winds will pick up a bit during the day on Wednesday, and gradually cooler air will entrain into the area. Colder air should be here by the end of the week, highs only around 50, with some cloudy periods under some unsettled conditions at times. But no more rain as I see it.

Wednesday was a breezy, gradually cooler and drying out day with some sun but lots of clouds, particularly in the early am when the last of the rain from our week's storm fell. We missed severe weather here in the early am, as lines of thunderstorms moved through the area. There was a report of a tornado in the Parkville area of Baltimore, that will be checked out by NWS, from that very early morning activity. Gusty winds did proliferate in the morning hours, gradually
diminishing as the day wore on. Sunny to partly cloudy days should now dominate through the weekend, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s as we dry out. Nice moonlit sky out there early on this Thursday morning. Wednesday was one of those days where the high temp occurred at the very beginning
of the day, and the low temp occurred at the very end of the day. There was a similar pattern exhibited by my barometric pressure readings for the day.

Friday was a sunny, cooler day. Should be a sunny weekend, around 60 on Saturday and down a bit into the low 50s on Sunday. Rain should be coming into the area by Tuesday, extending through Thanksgiving then the coldest weather of the season on "Black Friday" with highs only in the low 40s. We'll have to see if there is any moisture left late Thursday when this cold air advects in, perhaps if we are lucky we could see a few snowflakes at the end of the precipitation.
But too far away to do more than speculate and dream a bit at this point.

Saturday was a partly sunny, milder day. There was a moonlit sky this evening, perfect for a local 10 km walk in nearby Seneca Park that my local walking club held on Saturday evening. I greeted people there, and kept an eye on the weather and the moon, which shone through the partly cloudy skies - the clouds were light enough for the moon to shine brightly through. Temps were relatively mild for the walk, in the upper 40s/low 50s. Should be a sunny Sunday and cooler in the low-mid 50s for highs, then clouds will start to increase into the new week with milder 60s temps, with rain possible for Thanksgiving, then turning colder on "Black Friday"with high temps in the 40-45 range. Looks like the cold air will drive all the moisture out and we won't have much of a chance to see any snowflakes falling when the colder air finally gets here.

Sunday was sunny and seasonably chilly early, but clouds were on the increase in the afternoon as it remained chillier than Saturday, with a cloudy mild evening. It should be a bit milder with returning sun on Monday, into the low to mid 60s, then a slight chance of rain showers on Tue and continued mild in the mid 60s. Wednesday should be sunny and cooler, then cloudy and showery on Thursday, Turkey Day. Sunny and colder on Friday and into the weekend.

Wednesday was gradually cooler, as the high temp
for the day was recorded at midnight at the very
start of the day. Clouds were also on the increase,
though we did have quite a bit of sun in the morning
and most of the afternoon. Cloudy evening, with
precipitation just to our west, then after midnight
has moved in, though due to the air column being quite
dry the precip took a while to get down to the surface, and it only started a few minutes ago here. Temps are in the low 40s so the precip is falling as light rain. We should continue to see off and on light rain through most of the morning of Thanksgiving, then perhaps lightening
up in the afternoon but remaining cloudy. Rain showers
will resume in the evening and carry into Friday, warming up a bit then cooling off later, as drier, colder air finally makes its way into the area. The weekend looks pretty cool and dry, temps in the 40s for highs and 20s for lows.

Thanksgiving Thursday started out cool and wet,
with overnight light showers (all the rain for the
day fell in the am hours). Stayed cloudy all day,
gradually warming up, with our max temp for the
day occurring just prior to midnight tonight. Winds
picked up from the south this evening somewhat,
esp over the past few hours. Showers are falling
out to my west, but heading NE, so will take a while
before the whole line of showers gets over my area.
Showers should be mostly in the AM hours of Friday,
and gradually start drying off in the PM and also
turning colder. We should have a sunny and seasonably
cold weekend, with high temps in the 40s and lows in
the 20s. A warm up,of course, will probably be working
its way into our area next week, along with increasing
rain chances.

occasional very light rain around 0700 and 0845,
then turned windy as the front passed on through,
and temps started heading downward, into the 40s.

temps probably about 30 by sunrise. Temps will remain
seasonably cool over the weekend, with clear skies and

a bit on Monday, then it looks like a major rain event
possible on Tuesday and Wednesday, then cooling off
thereafter as we head into December.

Saturday was a cold, variably cloudy, blustery day
that really felt like winter is not far away at all.
Friends were up in the mountains to the west in
Western Maryland and West Virginia in elevations
of 2500-4000 feet and had snow most of the day,
yielding a definite winter scene with temps in the 20s. Conditions are stabilizing now, temps dropping through the 30s here in Gaithersburg, probably winding up in the upper 20s by sunrise. Sunny with temps in the 40s again on Sunday, then sunny with moderating temps up near 50 on Monday. A pretty decent rain system looks to come in on Tuesday and Wednesday, even with possible thunderstorms, as we transition from November into December. Early December looks to start out seasonably cold and dry at this point.

Sunday was a cold, clear day, with our coldest AM
min temp so far this season, but moderating in the
afternoon a bit, mostly due to the brisk winds
subsiding from Friday and Saturday. Also had our
coldest obs temp for this season so far tonight.
Nice day on Monday, temps moderating a bit more,
then increasing clouds later in the day ahead of our
next big rainmaker, a storm moving up from the
SW along our next cold front moving in from the
N W on Tuesday and Wednesday.We might have 1-2
inches of rain, pretty good winds, and perhaps even
a thunderstorm! What a way to transition in to
December from November.

Tuesday was a cloudy, threatening,warmer day
that never got the rain act together with. Light
rain fell occasionally in the early morning hours,
and gave us most of my 0.13"rainfall for the day.
I had trouble sleeping due to various pains and
bothersome ailments, and so my day was messed
up a bit,and I didn't go into the office at all,but
had a 2 hour medical appointment. Overnight
tonight is still supposed to have heavy rain and
wind,but I am still waiting and the current radar
doesn't look that impressive. The rain should end
by late morning, and gradual improvement,
including a lowering of the temperature, should
ensue. Sunny and seasonably cold weather should
persist the rest of the week and heading into the
first weekend of December.

Thursday was a real December-like day, seasonably
cold and our first day of the season where the max
temp didn't reach 40°. Blustery at times, and with
enough spinning in the atmosphere going on that we
stayed cloudy most of the day. We should stay like
that through the weekend, and chilly with winds
picking up at times. A clipper coming down from the
NW looks to be tracking just to our south over the
weekend unfortunately, so we probably will miss
that disturbance as our first snow of the season,
which has been happening frequently on the first
weekend of December since 2000. Temps should
remain chilly through most of next week, with highs
in the upper 30s to lower 40s, and lows in the 20s.

Friday was another real December-like day, seasonably
cold again, with an added bonus of a few light afternoon snow flurries scattered about our area. I didn't personally see them fall, but my daughter and a few local friends saw them fall, so I will record it with a Trace, as my rain gauge didn't contain any moisture. A cold pattern for the next week, with persistently below normal temperatures, but basically dry. Through Sunday we should see some clouds and an outside shot at a few snow flurries on occasion.

Saturday was another real December-like day, seasonably cold again with some sun but a lot of clouds around, particularly towards the end of the day, as the clipper got closer, but stayed south of my immediate area, and gave some light snow to areas
within 50 miles to my south/west during Saturday evening. We still might see a stray snow flake or two, but I haven't seen it yet. Through most of the upcoming week we should maintain this pattern with plenty of clouds (partly to mostly cloudy), temps in the mid-upper 30s for highs, lows mainly in the 20s
but with a lack of precipitation.

Radar is showing isolated snow flurries in the area, probably not reaching the ground here, based on my rather low humidity and dew point. Much more light snow flurries/showers up in the mtns of PA, western MD and WV but they very well may dry out trying to get over the mtns as they approach my area. They are headed SE and it sure looks like we could get some later this morning. But I have my serious doubts. Most of our immediate area is clear right now actually. |

Monday was another real December-like day, another tad colder than yesterday, barely got above freezing type day, and really blustery with more flurries blowing around, but I didn't see any. We have continued slight chances for snow flurries through tomorrow, Tomorrow there is a chance for flurries early, but remaining windy at times and chilly, high temps only in the mid 30s once again (normal high
temp here this time of year is in the upper 40s) Slow moderation into the low 40s by the end of the week, then a chance of rain on Sunday, then next week we should start off with another cold period.

Saturday was a mostly sunny day with just about the same daytime temperatures as there was on Friday - with highs once again in the mid 30s. We have some clouds out there tonight but temps are still dropping nicely into the low 20s. A storm offshore is definitely going to miss our area late tonight and tomorrow, with just some morning cloudiness possible then sunny skies should return in the afternoon with temps once again in the mid 30s. The week ahead should see temps staying in the mid 30s for highs with
lows mainly in the 20s. Sunny to partly cloudy skies
should predominate, save for a 40 POP for snow on
Tuesday and as of now a 50 POP for snow on Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day. That Christmas storm possibility has to be watched closely, temps might be a bit milder than what we have been having and we might have more of a mixed bag, but still way too early to be sure of anythingmat this point.

Sunday was a mostly sunny day, a bit colder and windier than yesterday but still a nice winter day. Still have some snow around, with the low sun angle and just barely getting above freezing the snow is slow to melt under those type conditions. Should be sunny once again on Monday with high temps around freezing, then get a bit cloudy Monday night into Tuesday as our next light snow threat gets closer
but at this point not expected to produce any appreciable snow here if any at all. We should stay cold the rest of the week then on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day a significant storm should be influencing our weather with snow or a mix of snow and rain likely. Then the rest of the weekend should
clear out with temps starting to moderate a bit into the upper 30s.

Thursday was a partly cloudy and a still mild day with the same high temp as Wednesday, but with a lot more wind, and gradually colder temps towards the end of the day that made it definitely more wintry as Christmas rapidly approaches, along with the first
day of winter. Clear tonight, dropping into the 20s now with winds still brisk. Christmas Eve Friday should be sunny and a bit colder, temps in the mid 30s, with winds persisting. Over the holiday
weekend, skies should turn mostly cloudy with, as of now, a 30 POP for snow - on Saturday from a minor disturbance from the Midwest, and on Sunday from the big coastal storm whose track is still undetermined exactly but looking more and more like taking a more
offshore track and missing our area for the most part. Next week the sun will return and be cold at first, but towards the end of the
week hints are showing a bit of a warm up as we head towards the beginning of the new year.

Monday was windy at times, partly cloudy, and
still cold, with the snow moving off to the NE.
We remained quite dry here also on mostly
northerly component winds. Looking around my
backyard and nearby landscapes, there really
are only man-made piles of snow left except in the
shadiest/northward facing areas so I went with
no snow on ground today. I believe the last day
I have had no snow on ground was back on Dec 12.
Tuesday starts a warmup, with high temps in the upper 30s and slackening winds. Wednesday should crack the 40 mark, and Thursday and Friday should be days with temps rising through the 40s, and into the 50s with
rain showers over the coming weekend. A real change in the cold pattern we have had most of December.

Tuesday was sunny and milder, with winds
lessening some as the day wore on. Warmest
monthly max temp since the 12th and third
warmest of the entire month. But it should even
be a bit warmer on Wednesday with more sunny,
mild conditions, then approaching 50 by Friday,
and into the 50s on Saturday with a 50 POP for
showers by Saturday night. Cooling off a bit
thereafter, but only into the low 40s. We
definitely look like we are going to exit this 2010
year very peacefully and mild, above normal for
a generally above normal year.

Wednesday was sunny and a bit milder, with winds
lessening some as the day wore on. Warmest monthly max temp since the 12th and third warmest of the entire month. It should be cloudy and a bit cooler in the lower 40s on Thursday, with a small precip area out in the midwest threatening our area, but not forecasted to give us any rain. I got a call from a weather friend in Georgetown KY earlier, who reported steady light rain started around 0030 today. Friday should see Partly cloudy skies with temps in the 50s, and Cloudy skies on Saturday with a 40 POP for showers during the day and a 50 POP for showers in the evening, with once again temps in the 50s. Thereafter, starting with Sunday, the temps should cool off a bit and the sun should return to dry us out.

Thursday was mostly cloudy and a bit milder than yesterday. No rain though, and we cleared off a bit this evening. Temps have managed to drop below freezing, so I will total up 29 days during December with mins of 32 or less. We should have sun and even milder temps on the last day of 2010, temps rising into the 50s. Over the weekend remaining mild, particularly on Saturday, but clouds return and about a 40-50 POP for showers throughout most of the weekend. More seasonable temps around 40-45 should return for the first week of 2011, no real cold air outbreaks on the horizon right now.

Tuesday was mostly sunny and milder after a chilly start. This evening the temperature has been staying above freezing on increasing southerly winds for a time around midnight, but has calmed down and we should reach the mid 20s by the morning. Temps should remain in the upper 30s the next few days, then cloud up and get a bit colder with a 30-40 POP for snow late Thursday into Friday. It should remain cold for the foreseeable future, with another chance at snow early next week possible, plus chances for some significant cold air outbreaks, poised and ready to invade the United States during the next week or two.

Wednesday was mostly sunny and colder and a bit
blustery at times. Colder tonight, forecast is for lows in the mid 20s but I am already in the low 20s and seems like I am heading for an upper teens low by sunrise. Clouds and cold the next few days, temps in the 30s and 20s, with a chance at some light snow from a fast-moving Alberta clipper late Thursday into Friday morning. Should stay at least seasonably cold into next week, highs continuing mostly into the 30s and lows in the teens and twenties. Some hints at some possible significant snow chances next
week, we'll have to see how things set up over the next several days.

Friday was cloudy overnight and sometime while I was asleep we got a bit of light snow, a coating of white. By the time I woke around 8 AM the snow had left and the sun was out. We had a partly cloudy, cold day with temps barely getting above the freezing mark. Clouds returned this evening, and another round
of snow is expected overnight and into Saturday morning daylight hours too. Right now, at 4:19 AM, it is not snowing- but between midnight and now we did have some light snow, a snow shower, that has re-coated the ground.. Road is only wet. We expect snow to end by noontime at the latest. Winter weather advisory was posted from 1 AM to 1 PM, snow accumulations should be 1-3 inches. The rest of the weekend should be cold and partly cloudy.

Saturday was cloudy in the early morning hours with light snow showers falling intermittently overnight, but finished up by mid-morning and the rest of the day was partly sunny and cold. It was my first day of the year where the max temp was 32 or less. We dried out rapidly after the snow left us, by late afternoon
our dew points had dropped into the single digits. They have risen a bit the past few hours, up to a whopping 11° right now. We should see a continuing pattern of low maxs below freezing for the early
part of the coming week, sunny on Sunday and Monday, then a snowstorm of unknown strength and size as of right now paying us a visit on Tuesday. Thereafter the rest of the week should be sunny or partly cloudy with max temps around 35 and lows around 20.

Sunday was mostly sunny, cold, and windy at times, keeping the snow from Saturday round for the most part. Should be a repeat performance on Monday, with late day increasing clouds from the storm to our SW coming towards us for Tuesday. Right now we have a 100 POP for snow on Tuesday afternoon and evening,
no word on amounts, but probably will be under 6 inches as it looks at this point. Temps remaining in the low 30s through most of the week, Cloudy again on Wednesday, then sunny and cold on Thursday and Friday. A warm up into the upper 30s by the weekend, along with a considerable amount of cloudiness.

Monday was cold and mostly cloudy a good part of the day, but basically just "cirrus blowoff" for the most part from the snowstorm to our south, heading slowly this way, but taking its time to phase with the midwestern system. Overnight we will have gradually increasing clouds and cold, then on Tuesday eventually it will start snowing, but probably not till sometime in the afternoon, only messing up the afternoon rush and leaving the morning rush unaffected by cloudy but dry skies. Temps should remain cold the rest of the week, with highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s for the most part. After this storm vacates, a calm period of sunny weather appears to be headed to our area. Amounts of snow on Tuesday in the region will probably range from 1-4 inches, more to the NE part of the region, so probably in our immediate area we will have around 2 inches.

Thursday was mostly sunny and cold, windy at times early, but now this evening has calmed down quite a bit. We should reach the upper teens for our low by
sunrise. We should cloud up a bit later and have a weak disturbance pass through in the late morning, possibly triggering a few snow flurries. Should stay cloudy and cold on Saturday with another shot at flurries or sprinkles, temps in the upper 30s. Warming up a bit thereafter, with temps in the 40s by Tuesday with just rain in the forecast (70 POP as of now). Should return to colder weather thereafter next week from Wednesday on.

Friday started out cold and cloudy, with a Trace of snow in early morning flurries that I didn't observe falling, but noticed the accumulation all over my car when getting in to it to go to the office. At first I thought it was just frost on the windshield, but it was all over, pretty uniform, and structure of crystals were of snowfall, and not frost. The flurries were part of the morning forecast as a
possibility. The rest of Friday was mostly sunny and cold. Over the weekend it appears to be a cloudy one on Saturday with possible flurries of snow late in the
day or evening. Milder weather with temps approaching 40 appears to be the forecast for Sunday, with mixed precip possible on Monday evening and overnight,
and probably just plain rain on Tuesday. Thereafter temps should cool down once again as we dry out a bit towards the end of next week.

Sunday started out mild and cloudy, just ahead of a cold front, which cleared us out and held our temps steady then dropping to below freezing by evening. We have clouded over again, high type well ahead of our next storm, currently operating out in sections of the south and midwest (see also the radar report below). We should remain cloudy on Monday during the day, then have a mixed bag develop Monday evening and overnight, with snow, sleet, freezing rain early then change over to plain rain by mid-morning on Tuesday, with rain showers continuing into Wednesday. Thereafter we should turn cold, with possible snow showers late on Thursday after a strong cold frontal passage earlier on Thursday. We should remain below freezing on Friday and Saturday as it looks now, but stay dry. Temps down to around 10 Friday morning, and in the upper 20s during the day on Friday as it looks right now, but that could change- stay tuned!

Thursday was mostly cloudy and a bit
cooler than Wednesday, but still pretty
mild which continued to melt more of the
remaining snowcover. Ponds in the area
are still frozen, we are still having a
pretty cold January so far. Only a few
really warm days, nothing over 60 yet.
And it most certainly won't be getting
over 60 any time soon. In fact, we may not
get above freezing at all from late Friday
till the middle of next week. Meanwhile, a
light snow has started to fall after obs
tonight, just a few flakes, a trace amount
so far. Not sure if we will be getting much
more overnight, at most it will be an inch
by sunrise. During the day on Friday, it
should dry out with the colder air advecting
in, also chilling us down quickly with winds
increasing as the day progresses.
There is a small shot at a bit of snow Monday
night into Tuesday, but not much as it looks
right now. Temps will remain quite cold till
mid-week, then moderate towards the end of
next week.

Saturday was a mostly cloudy, cold day with a
trace of snow from flurries that occurred sometime
while I was asleep. I have a cold and spent most of
the day in bed. Temps have really been dropping
nicely as skies have cleared this evening, and should
make it into the teens by sunrise. Partly cloudy on
Sunday with temps approaching 40, so there should
be some melting going on. Monday should get cold
again, max temps may not get much above freezing if
at all. Then the fun begins, with snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain possible from Monday night through Wednesday. Thereafter the rest of the week looks dry and cold, with max temps only in the 20s to around 30 and low temps in the teens.

Sunday was a partly cloudy, milder day, as our max
temperature rose over 40° F for the first time since
last Tuesday, the 25th. More significant melting going on today. Colder air is predicted to come in on Monday ahead of this big storm coming in on Tuesday and Wednesday. Might set up an ice storm for us on Tuesday, but milder air is expected to infiltrate the system in our area on Wednesday, sending temps into the 40s and changing the freezing rain to just plain rain. We might get a bit of light snow and/or sleet at the outset of the storm late Monday, but we should mostly have freezing rain on Tuesday, and then transition over to just plain rain by sometime on Wednesday. Thereafter we should get some cold air in here, staying below freezing all day on Thursday and Friday. Slow moderation into the weekend, along with a slight chance at a little light snow on Saturday.
Sunday we could make it back into the 40s again.

Friday was milder and less windy, with clouds on the
increase as the afternoon wore on, as the rain to our
south moved closer. Threat of possibly starting tonight
as freezing rain, so far I have stayed above freezing,
as some light rain has come in after midnight. Rain
should continue through most of Saturday, staying mild.
Sunday should clear up with sunny skies and temps in the mid 40s. Next week should cool down some, with possible precipitation around Tuesday.
I am rather limited in my post tonight, as my hard drive is acting up, and I am in "safe mode with networking" mode, and I don't have access to a lot of my programs.

April closed out on Saturday under bright sunny skies with temps in the mid 60s for highs after low temps overnight in the 40s. We should see a cloudier day on Sunday after one more cool overnight into the 40s.
Chances of showers increase to 40 POP on Sunday afternoon, and we keep that chance going into the workweek. Greater chances of rain come in around Tuesday evening with a 70 POP at this point. Eventually later in the week, long about Thursday, we should clear out for at least a day of sunny weather before 30 POP chances come in just in time for the weekend. The wet patterns of April are carrying over into May in our neck of the woods.

Monday got a bit cloudier, muggier, but no rain at my location that I know of (traces are always possible but not always detectable unless you happen to be out in it, or observe it out your window.) Clouds will predominate from now on through Wednesday afternoon, and rain chances will be increasing till Tuesday night, when we have an 80 POP for showers and thunderstorms, which could possibly turn severe. Tomorrow with only a 30 POP we might get up to
80 for a high temp, coupled with dew pts above 60 it will be uncomfortable without air conditioning. After the cold front passes on Wednesday around
mid-day if not before, we should clear out, dry up and experience seasonable temperatures in the 60s and 40s the rest of the week into the first part of
our next weekend.

Tuesday was partly cloudy, warmer, and muggier
than Monday, with late aft increasing clouds, a
cloudy evening with rain showers starting to fall
just prior to midnight obs. Also the temp dropped
in the evening into the low 60s after topping the
80 mark in the late afternoon. Rain should
predominate (100 POP) overnight as showers are
aligned along a slow moving front that is oriented
SW/NE. Showers are found for hundreds of
miles to my SW, so we will have quite a bit of rain
at times as it continues into most of the later
morning hours till ending around noon. Partial
clearing should follow on Wednesday afternoon.
Temps should not be higher than we are right
now (around 60). Clearing out totally by Wed
evening, and lows should get down into the 40s.
The rest of the week should remain relatively
cool and dry with a 30 POP for showers on Friday,
then just cloudy over the first part of the weekend.

Thursday was a beautiful day, with bright, blue
skies and seasonably cool temperatures. But
with this changeable spring we are having, those
conditions will be evolving into a cloudier day on
Friday with a 40 POP for showers and storms.
I could see the clouds spreading east from the
midwest on a satellite shot earlier this evening.
Saturday might clear out a bit under partly cloudy
skies and highs in the low 70s, but the nighttime
and into Mother's Day on Sunday a 40-50 POP for
showers should return with plenty of cloudiness.
The new week should be dry at the start, with
high temps in the low 70s.

Saturday was mostly sunny and seasonable. I
spent most of the day either asleep or compiling
weather reports and doing a lot of email work.
Also managed to watch the Kentucky Derby. So
I didn't really experience the day outside a real
lot. We should have a nice stretch of fine, spring
weather for the next several days with sunny to
partly cloudy skies with high temps mostly in the
low to mid 70s from Sunday through the better
part of the coming week. Lows in the 40s to 50s.
Next chance for rain doesn't look to be till Friday,
when right now we have a 50 POP for showers and
possible storms extending possibly into the first
part of the weekend.

Tuesday was a repeat performance of the sunny,
seasonably mild Monday we had yesterday, a few
degrees warmer on the max, a few degrees cooler
on the min. This pattern should persist through
Thursday, with temps in the mid 70s by day and upper
40s to low 50s by night. Saturday should see more
clouds than sun, with showers on our doorstep by
the end of the day. Over the weekend, Saturday will
have a 60 POP for showers/storms, then 40-50 POP
through Monday for showers/storms, with temps in
the 70s by day and 50s by night.

Wednesday had some cloudy periods in the morning,
but then cleared and warmed up a bit more than
on Tuesday to the tune of 1.6 degrees. One more
sunny day on Thursday with high temps into the mid
70s once again before clouds take over on Friday
and persist through the weekend and well into next
week. A 50-60 POP for showers and storms throughout
the weekend and into next week. Only a 20 POP for
rain on Friday. Temps should remain seasonably mild
in the 70s but if we get a lot of clouds and rain we
might stay cooler than that during those conditions.

Thursday was once again sunny and seasonably
mild, a tad cooler than yesterday, but hazier and
a tad more humid as dew points approached the 60
mark. This evening showers and storms were falling
not all that far to my west up in the mountains, and
will gradually work their way east just in time for
the weekend. Increasing POPs for showers/storms
will be the rule from Friday's 30 POP to a 70-80 POP
during Saturday and Sunday. Rain doesn't go away
totally next week, with a 50 POP carrying through
till Wednesday. Temperatures by day will mostly be
in the 70s and lows in the 50s as we inch more and
more towards summertime values.

Friday was our first real sunny day this week, still with some clouds and according to my VP2 rain gauge a very light shower at 1400 EDT, but a premonition to what we will have this weekend and into next week, though next week temperatures look to be rising to
uncomfortable levels - reaching the 90 mark - and
humidity also rising. Starting with Sunday there will be a 30% chance of a shower/t-storm with the daily heat buildup, but should be scattered and not severe, typical hit or miss showers that we see often in the summer. Temps tonight are in the comfortable 50s as they were last night, with dew pts in the 50s also, better than 60s dew points, but they will be coming soon unfortunately. Temps should be in the low 80s on Saturday, and into the mid 80s on Sunday.

Sunday turned mostly cloudy most of the day, though the sun did come out in the late afternoon for a while. It did warm up in between the clouds around noon also in the late afternoon sun. Mid-afternoon radar showed showers coming in and we did get a few sprinkles, but that was about it. We have
another band coming in from the SW right now in the early morning hours of Monday. Stronger storms are further to the SW in sections of Virginia,but hard to tell if those storms will hold together during the
overnight hours. Tomorrow we have a 50-60 POP for showers/storms during the day and in the evening, and the rest of the week we have between a 30-50 POP for storms/showers with temps in the low to mid 80s and dew pts generally in the 60s.

Wednesday was a very warm, slightly less humid day (not really a significant lowering of the dew pt- max dew pt today in the upper 60s, yesterday it was in the lower 70s). Skies were pretty clear and blue most of the day, and we were hundreds of miles away from the nearest rain. Tomorrow should be a bit warmer,
closer to 90, but only a very isolated chance at a shower or storm in the late aft/early eve. Friday and Saturday have a 50 POP for showers and storms, but I think the jury is still out on that, at least from the tune of verification. Memorial Day and the new
workweek ahead looks oppressive, with high temps in the low to mid 90s with not much of a chance for a cooling rain shower.

Saturday was warm but not as warm as expected as we had a bit more cloudiness and there even were some scattered, very isolated showers in the region but none fell here. Still not too bad a day, partly cloudy, but still with dew points in the 60s it wasn't nearly as comfortable as I would prefer it to be. But compared with our next few days, it wasn't too bad. Sunday should see highs in the upper 80s under partly cloudy skies, then on Memorial Day and Tuesday, sunny and hot with highs in the mid 90s and
virtually no chance for any cooling showers or storms. We have a 30 POP for showers/storms on Wednesday with highs in the low 90s, then cooling off a bit the rest of the week, with highs in the low 80s by Friday and Saturday hopefully. Should be a pretty dry week, though dew points will be in the 60s for the most part, not exactly comfortable for late May. I hope we have at least one more good cool snap in the cards in early June before we get into the persistent obnoxious heat and humidity of the summer around here.

Memorial Day Monday was our hottest day of the year so far, temps soaring into the 90s, and naturally my home A/C went on the fritz. I replaced the filter but the thermostat appears to not be functioning. Drats. So where are those snowy winter days now that I really need a good cool down? Dew points were
mostly in the 70s all day. Clear skies, blistering sun. Not a daily record today though- record for May 30 is 97, my hottest ever in May, still stands from 2006. Another repeat tomorrow, heat advisory continues through most of Tuesday also. Hopefully
some relief in the form of thunderstorms and showers (40 POP)on Wednesday with an associated cold front, temps will still probably be around the 90 mark as we enter into June with a bang. Thereafter the rest of the week looks warm but hopefully a break from the 90+ temps we are getting right now. Nightly low temps are only around 70, not much relief there. At least
my ceiling fans are working, and the car a/c is also.

Tuesday was sunny and warm, similiar to Monday in temperature, but a bit more humid. The heat and humidity will start to really crank up on Wednesday,
with highs in the mid 90s and dew points probably approaching 70 with unfortunately more or less a repeat performance on Thursday, except with
increasing chances at thunderstorms by evening (40 POP), then a 40 POP on Friday and a "cooler" high of around 90, then slipping further into the 80s
with more clouds than sun over the weekend with a 30-40 POP for showers and storms. Looks to dry out and be reasonably comfortable in the low 80s on Monday as we start the new work week.

Monday was a partly cloudy, dry, cooler, less humid day that was quite comfortable to say the least. We had our coolest high temp for June (so far) and coolest since the 69 max was reached back on May 20. Wouldn't mind breaking that max value on Tuesday, but it probably will get a bit warmer. But it may not, we may have more clouds around than sun, and a 20 POP for an isolated shower. Then perhaps up to 80 under
sunny skies on Wednesday,then a bit cooler with clouds and a 50 POP for showers and storms on both Thursday and Friday. Then a clear out and a slight warm up over the weekend, with highs in the low-mid 80s. We should get down into the mid 50s tonight,
which would be the coolest min since the 51.8 back on June 4. Loving this cooler weather! If only it would keep up till September!

Most rain fell betweeen 2130-2230, my VP2 tipping spoon rain gauge was clogged with leaf litter, so it under-reported amounts during the event, but just before midnight I unclogged it and it all came through at once, so gave me a very inaccurate, inflated max rain rate. |

Wednesday was a partly sunny day, a bit warmer than Tuesday, moderately humid, less breezy than Tuesday, with a brief light shower as alerted to me on radar from the office during the late afternoon. Thursday looks partly cloudy and warm, with increasing chances in the afternoon for showers/storms (40 POP). Chances for precipitation appear to be the rule rather than the exception for most of the time between Thursday afternoon and early next week. The POPs are different each day, however. A 50 POP Thur night, a 60 POP on Friday, then 30-40 POPs during most of the weekend. Temps may reach well up in the 80s to around 90, before cooling off by early next week into the low 80s.

Friday was a partly sunny day, warm and humid, with showers in the first hour of the day, leftover from Thursday's activity. Despite storms and showers falling heavily in the area on Friday evening, I got no more measurable precipitation the rest of the day after that first hour activity. Flood and severe storm warnings went out again, but alas other areas got dumped on and I somehow missed it. Also interesting to note that for most of the working day, from about 9 AM to 7 PM, my power was out here at the house. There were varying degrees of outages throughout Gaithersburg. As far as I can determine, especially since we missed all the storm action, the outages were not weather-related. Saturday should be warm and dry with high temps up around 90, then on Sunday a 50 POP for showers/storms and highs in the upper 80s. Next week looks sunny, dry and warm, highs in the low to mid 80s with lows in the 60s, at least at the start of the week.

Saturday was a mostly sunny day, warm and humid for most of the day, but with an increase in clouds in the evening hours as a new system approaches from the W that will affect us adversely with precipitation on Sunday (60 POP in afternoon and evening- typical summertime showers/storm chances). The new week should start nicely on Monday with sunny skies with high temps in the low 80s, extending into Tuesday with essentially the same forecast, then warming a bit into the mid 80s on Wednesday, then a 30 POP for showers and storms on Thursday, then clearing out again on Friday and into the weekend. Too early to tell, the storm is way too far away right now, but some models have Irene paying us a possible close visit sometime next weekend or thereabouts. So we will have to keep a close eye on that as next weekend draws near and a track for the storm gets better defined, along with strength and size of storm being better determined.

Sunday was a partly cloudy, very warm, humid day that once again started with promise as far as significant rain was concerned, but once again the showers and storms danced around my location and missed my rain gauge save for a Trace that I found in there that must have come at some point in the day. A late evening possibility for rain that was coming along with the actual frontal passage fizzled with activity drying up as it came over the mountains to my west. Winds have now switched around from the East to the West, indicating frontal passage. Tomorrow and Tuesday should be sunny and pleasant with lower dew points and high temps in the low-mid 80s, with mid-80s on Wednesday, still not too bad. A 30 POP for showers/storms at this point for Thursday with highs in the upper 80s, then clearing on Friday. Over the weekend we have the uncertainty of possibly approaching Tropical Storm Irene, the track is certainly not determined as yet for this region, but forecast models are intimating a closeby passage that may give us some significant rainy weather sometime over the weekend. Stay tuned for further developments on this particular system.

Monday was a sunny, beautiful day with lowering dew pts and comfortable temperatures. It was one of those rare August gems where under sun, the max temp didn't make it to 80, with a nice breeze at times. Another repeat performance for tomorrow, highs might top the 80 mark but barely, after a lovely overnight where we will make it into the comfy 50s for low temps by morning. Wednesday should see us warm up a bit into the mid 80s but still with relatively low dew points. A front should approach on Thursday but with warmer southern component winds ahead of the front, highs in the upper 80s and the dew points should be rising into the 60s. We might also see some showers/storms (30 POP at this point) with those conditions repeating on Friday, particularly towards evening. The weekend remains uncertain right now, but possibilities exist that Hurricane Irene or her remnants may be paying us a visit sometime on Saturday or Sunday. Lots of discussions on that, lots of different scenarios depending on the track, forward speed, intensity, etc. of the storm. Stay tuned for further developments on this particular system.

Tuesday was quite a day! My earthquake report for Tuesday has been posted in the Earthquake section of the backyard blog. It was a scary experience in the approx 45 seconds of the shaking and trembling that occurred during the quake. I didn't immediately think it was an earthquake, but I really don't believe I had ever experienced one before. Please let me know if you have any questions. The weather on earthquake Tuesday was sunny and spectacular once again, as max temps once again failed to reach or top the 80° mark all day, and we had such comfortable low temps in the mid 50s in the early morning hours. After another night in the 50s, and dew points in the 50s, we will reach the mid 80s on Wednesday with dew points creeping up into the 60s. Thursday we hit the upper 80s with a 60 POP for showers/storms as a front from the midwest draws near. Sunny and dry on Friday, then the weekend comes on, and we should experience at some point the rath of Hurricane Irene. How much of a rather at this point has not been determined. We shall see how the track and forward speed and intensity steer it near our coasts and when that will occur in the next few days so stay tuned!

Wednesday was the day after the earthquake, and another day closer to a visit by Irene! One natural disaster followed by another! A warmer Wednesday, up in the 80s again, with increasing dew points during the day, from the 50s in the morning to the 60s in the afternoon and evening. Still sunny, but some increase in clouds late as a front draws closer. Thursday will be a changeable day, with storms developing by afternoon and high temps in the muggy upper 80s. Clouds should be dominating the sky by mid-afternoon into the evening, with a 70 POP for precipitation in the afternoon and a 50 POP in the evening. Sunny but still a 30 POP for showers/storms on Friday with temps in the mid-upper 80s, then the weekend brings Irene in here sometime late Saturday into Sunday, and we shall see how the track, speed and intensity shapes up to form our forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Heavy rain and wind a bit more likely with the latest model runs shifting the track a bit more to the west, closer to us... Stay tuned for updates!

Sunday was day 2 or the concluding day for the "visit" to our area of Hurricane Irene. More rain fell on Saturday than Sunday, but the lowest pressure and highest peak wind gust for the storm was reached during the early hours of Sunday. The wind kept up for the better part of the day on Sunday, only slackening off in the late afternoon and evening, finally returning back to my usual calm state over the past few hours. Sun predominated by mid-morning, with some scattered clouds at times, and even a few more serious cloud intervals in the afternoon that were Irene's "last hurrah" bands for our area that actually gave some parts of the area light showers but not here. We will have a calm week ahead, with some pleasant temps in the upper 50s-lower 60s by night and around 80 most of the week during the day. No precipitation of any kind looks to be coming all week.

Monday was back to work and back to more normalcy as far as weather was concerned. But some areas in the region are still recovering with continuing power outages, trees/branches still down and blocking roads, and flooding in certain locations in far-southern Maryland. The day on Monday though was mostly sunny and relatively cool, with temps staying in the 70s during the afternoon that made it pretty pleasant. We had some clouds at times, as a upper level trough passed through our area and even gave some sprinkles to a few areas in the region, mostly out to the W and SW in north-central Virginia. A glimpse of radar in the mid-afternoon did show a few showers out that way. Nothing measureable made it here, however. The rest of the week looks seasonable with highs in the 80s by day and 50s and low 60s by night. Tonight we are definitely heading for the mid 50s, as it is already in the 50s as I type this at 1:29 AM EDT. The rest of the work-week looks dry also, with only slight chances of isolated showers at times, mostly during the next day or so under sunny to partly cloudy skies. Labor Day weekend is still aways out and not quite sure what might happen, if anything during that 3 day holiday weekend. Right now it looks as good as any to use persistence to forecast the same weather as we have been having, sunny and seasonable.

Tuesday was another sunny warm day (high barely topping 80) after a most comfortable overnight of low temps in the mid 50s. Tonight I am back in the 50s again (barely right now at 59.8) but should be in the mid 50s once again by morning. Might have some patchy fog overnight as our temps drop towards the dew point. Sunny to partly cloudy skies with highs in the low to mid 80s should hold forth the rest of the work week, with a change over the weekend as showers/storms have a 40 POP on Saturday and a 30 POP on Sunday and Monday. Temps in the low 80s on Saturday cooling into the 70s by Monday. No hurricanes in the outlook at this time heading into next week/foreseeable future.

Wednesday wound up the month of August as another sunny warm day (high nudging a bit more above 80) after another most comfortable overnight of low temps in the mid 50s. Tonight I haven't made it into the 50s yet but I think I will make it into at least the upper 50s by morning. Sunny once again on Thursday and Partly cloudy Friday with temps in the mid 80s but slowly increasing dew pt values and chances for showers/storms by Saturday (30 POP) growing a bit on Sunday (40 POP). Also by Sunday the max temps should start a slow decline, with right now next Wednesday looking to have high temps only in the low 70s with continued threat of showers/storms but down a bit to the 30 POP range. Lots of clouds around for the next week, with no mostly sunny days after tomorrow. Still no hurricanes in the outlook at this time heading into next week/foreseeable future for our immediate area.

Friday began wet, with most of the day's rain falling in the morning. Skies actually partially cleared in the afternoon, and while remaining muggy, at least the humidity fell below that 99% mark it was stuck on yesterday (but not really by that much). Nice scuddy,low-hanging cumulus around on the way home tonight. Flooding still ongoing in low spots in the region. With the rain today I went over the 10 inch mark for the month and for this storm that started on Monday. The weekend looks sunnier, with a 30 POP for an isolated shower on both Saturday and Sunday. Next week looks sunny and warm (mid 80s by day, 60s by night) to start, but by the end of the week we should get a fall-like shot of cool, dry air in here by Friday, with highs around 70 and lows in the 50s. Busy weekend ahead, at least the monsoons have stopped for now.

Well our dry day streak ended at 1, as we got a brief shower this afternoon and a bigger one this evening. Lots of great cumulus buildups most of the afternoon, lots of moisture still hanging around. But I didn't hear any thunder, we just had the light, brief shower (.01") around 4 pm and a brief heavier rain shower just after 10 PM this evening. Should remain cloudy overnight, and partly cloudy on Monday with a 30 POP for showers/storms and temps in the 80s. Sunny and warm with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the 60s on Tue and Wed, then a nice cool down thereafter, with Thur-Sun having high temps in the mid-upper 60s and lows in the upper 40s-lower 50s and sunny skies with lower dew points. Looks like some good drying out weather this coming week from all the rain we had this past week.

Tuesday was a sunny day, warm, and once again a bit muggy (same dew point temp range as Monday), but with no rain for a change. That will not be the case the next 2 days. Temperatures should be quite warm on Wednesday, highs well up in the 80s, the warmest readings of the week, and what looks like the last vestiges of summer type weather for a while. There is a 50 POP for showers and storms in the evening/ overnight. Then on Thursday temps will only reach the lower 70s, with a 60 POP for showers and storms. Thursday night the cooler air really works into the area, with lows dropping down into the mid 40s. Highs on Friday only in the low 60s, partly cloudy skies, and then lows in the 40s once again on Friday night, then highs in the 60s for the weekend, with lows continuing in the 40s. A nice, early-fall weekend ahead for us. And after the rain on Wed/Thur, it looks to remain dry for quite a while thereafter.

Wednesday was sunny and very warm and humid at the start, but by early evening clouds built up considerably as the first of several waves of showers/thunderstorms came in from the west. I saw plenty of vivid Cloud to Ground lightning as I headed up I-270 on the way home. I managed to get into the house safe and dry - rain ensued within a few minutes after getting inside around 1930. More showers and occasional thunder noted later on in the evening, but before midnight as it is clear out there with just scattered clouds at this late hour early on Thursday morning. A second cold front is expected to pass our area on Thursday afternoon under cooler temps in the 70s with a 50 POP of showers/storms, and overnight the temps should drop into the 40s for the first time this season. High temps thereafter through Sunday should be in the upper 60s, with lows in the 40s on Friday and low 50s over the weekend. A gradual warmup next week should get us back up in the 70s for highs, 50s for lows, but with no rain in sight at this time.

Thursday was variably cloudy, a bit muggy and warm at first but cooler than yesterday due at first to the clouds, then later due to a cold front that ushered in our coolest temperatures of the season so far. Winds picked up in the afternoon ahead of the frontal passage, and light showers with the front between 5 and 6 pm developed and moved off quickly. Temperatures that were over 70 through midday dropped through the 60s and 50s through the late afternoon and evening, and early on this Friday morning have finally dropped into the 40s. It looks like we will reach the mid 40s by sunrise. Up in the mountains the lows will be in the 30s. Tomorrow should be partly cloudy and cool, high temps in the mid 60s. Partly cloudy skies the rest of the weekend, with highs in the 60s on Sunday and lows in the 40s. Moderating temps up into the 70s should begin our new week, with 30 POP for showers and storms by mid-week. We might reach the upper 70s by Thursday as a gradual warmup continues.

Friday was partly cloudy, nice and cool, a nice taste of early fall. Easily got down in the mid-40s overnight, the coolest reading of the season so far. More clouds than sun for a good part of the weekend, and temps will remain below normal for the duration. We should have a slow warmup back to normal by midweek next week, along with a 30-40 POP for showers and storms from Tuesday through Thursday. There is a storm offshore the SE US coast that looks at this point to stay far enough south to keep its precipitation shield south of our area over the weekend, but close enough to give us a good deal of cloudiness while maintaining cool temperatures, in the 60s for highs and lows in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Saturday was mostly cloudy during most of the day, but with some late afternoon partial clearing that extended throughout the evening. Remained cool, we also got a few sprinkles during the day that I did experience while driving around on Saturday afternoon. Still clear out there now, but it may cloud up again on Sunday afternoon with highs in the upper 60s. Basically a cloudy week ahead with 30-40 POP for showers/storms on most days, save for Monday. We should hit the milder 70s for highs for most of the week, with lows in the 50s.

Sunday was much sunnier than Saturday, but still with some cloudy periods. As a result of more sun we were a bit warmer, reaching the mid 60s. The coming week looks mostly cloudy however, with chances of showers from late Monday night through Friday. POP ranges from 30 on Wednesday to 60 on Thursday, with 40-50 POP most of the other times. Temps should mostly be in the 70s by day and 50s by night. Next weekend looks better, with sunny to partly cloudy skies and temps in the 70s and dry.

Tuesday was cloudy with light rain in the morning, but then cleared up eventually in the afternoon and evening and warmed up into the 70s after starting out in the 60s all morning. Clouds and possible fog overnight on Tue into Wednesday, then clouds return for an 80 POP of showers on Wednesday afternoon. Wet the rest of the week, a 60 POP for showers/storms on Thursday, then a 70 POP on Friday. Getting a bit muggy as temps reach towards 80 with dew pts rising into the 60s. Cloudy over the weekend, a 30 POP for showers on Sunday, then early next week we should clear out with sunny skies and high temps in the low 70s. We may get a few inches of rain the next few days, helping me set a new September record, which I am really getting close to (now at 11.41" - old record from 1999 is 11.54")

Thursday calmed down for me considerably, with just a performance plan review meeting with my boss breaking up the normal daily routine at the office. Cloudy, muggy weather continued, and we almost reached 80 today with dew points running around 70 most of the day. Somehow we missed most of the precip, with just that .01" which according to my data logger output fell around 4:30 PM. We are not supposed to miss the rain on Friday, with a 90 POP for rain off and on, heavy at times during the day and evening that might add up to an inch or two by the end of the day. A flash flood watch will go into effect at 0600 today, and extend through most of the day. Still a 90 POP for showers and possible storms on Saturday, then a 50 POP on Sunday, a 40 POP on Monday and Tuesday, a 30 POP on Wednesday then finally clearing out on Thursday with no chance of more rain as it looks right now. Temps should remain in the 70s by day and mostly 60s by night as we continue to fester in this muggy air with dew points well up in the 60s to low 70s. A real blocking pattern isn't allowing for fronts to come and go freely and quickly like normal, and we are going to be stuck in the really moist southerly, sub-tropical flow circulating around the stalled upper level LOW out in the midwest.

Saturday was yet another mild, muggy day with plenty of clouds around and according to my VP2 data logger record, a very light shower around 5 AM (.01"). We actually did get a bit of sun at times in the afternoon. We might have some light fog overnight (so far none here) and a stray shower, there are a few echoes in the area right now. Muggy and warm conditions through the next few days, with a 30 POP for showers on Sunday and Monday, then a 50 POP on Monday night, a 60 POP for showers on Tuesday, then a 40 POP on Wednesday and then clearing out eventually by the end of the week. Temps should mostly be somewhere in the 70s by day (probably low 80s on Monday) and 60s by night, eventually slipping into the 50s by midweek as cooler, drier air gradually works its way into our area.

Sunday was another mild, muggy day with clouds around but some afternoon sun at times and no rain. ending my latest modest 5 day streak of measurable rain days. Monday should be partly sunny and warm, with highs up in the low 80s and a 30 POP for showers/storms. Monday night the POP increases to 50, then on Tuesday is most likely the wettest day of the week, with a 60 POP for showers/storms both during the day and in the evening hours. Wednesday the POP drops down to 50 and temps cool off a bit into the low 70s. A 40 POP on Thursday, then drying out and cooling off more on Thursday night and thereafter, with hight temps around 70 on Friday with no chance of rain, then only around 60 on Saturday and Sunday with lows in the low 40s, a definite most-welcome chilldown. Dew points will be dropping into the 40s then 30s. It is going to feel much more like fall as we enter into the new month of October.

Monday was yet another mild, muggy, mostly cloudy day but some afternoon sun at times and no rain. Rain showers were way west out in OH, WV and PA, with activity moving mostly NNE and not towards this area. But there are a few scattered showers in north central Virginia right now that could move in later tonight possibly, hence a 50 POP for showers overnight. On Tuesday the POP is way up to 90 for showers and possible thunderstorms with muggy upper 70s for highs. Down to a 50 POP for showers on Wednesday then drying out on Thursday and a cooldown, with highs in the upper 70s on Wednesday and Thursday, low 70s on Friday under sunny skies, then a major cooldown on Saturday with highs only in the upper 50s to around 60. 60s for highs on Sunday, with low temps well down in the 40s, dew pts in the 30s. Might have a frost out there in the mountains over the weekend. The feel of fall will finally be in the air!

Tuesday was yet another mild, muggy, mostly cloudy day but some afternoon sun at times and a few occasional sprinkles during the day. Rain showers were to my south but moved east and west of my station on their way north. An 80 POP for showers/storms on Wednesday as cold fronts from the midwest finally start moving my way. Still muggy in the 70s for highs. Starting to cool off/dry out on Thursday, with just a 30 POP for showers and temps in the low 70s for highs. Friday should clear off nicely with temps cooling off further into the upper 60s. Over the weekend we should really drop as we reach the 40s for lows and upper 50s to lower 60s for highs under partly cloudy skies on Saturday and sunny conditions on Sunday. The feel of fall will finally be in the air!

Wednesday was another in a string of muggy, warm days that have been the norm for this September. That persistent upper level LOW over the Great Lakes did start moving eastward today, so there is hope for us to clear out for the weekend, with much cooler, drier weather. We did get some morning light rain showers on Wednesday and a brief rumble of thunder and more light showers this evening, but alas the big storms were east of my station and hit Baltimore big time early this evening. Overnight I don't think we will see any more showers, but there still is a 40 POP for showers/storms, continuing as a 40 POP for during the day on Thursday. Thursday evening we should start drying out with lows in the 50s, then partly cloudy and dry on Friday with highs in the low 70s, then a big "cooldown" for the weekend under quite a bit of clouds, highs in the upper 50s and lows in the 40s. There is even a 40 POP for showers after midnight on Friday, probably marking the passage of the real strong part of the cold front coming into the area. Sunny and a bit milder with highs up in the 60s and lows in the 40s and 50s for the beginning of next wk.
