KEVIN'S VP2 BACKYARD WEATHER REPORT 02/22/12 at 03:45 am by Kevin Shaw, Gaithersburg, MD Tuesday
and back to work after a long 3 day weekend. Pretty chilly
this morning, but not frosty with dew points relatively low. A
partly cloudy day, with fresh southerly breezes that warmed us
up almost to 50°. It is remaining mild tonight, holding right
now in the mid 40s, with lows by sunrise no lower than the mid
30s, and I don't think it is going to get that cool actually.
Tomorrow we should see sun and temps in the upper 50s, then a
50 POP for showers on Wed night with temps definitely staying
above the freezing mark. Thursday and Friday should remain
cloudy and quite mild, with highs in the 60s and lows in the
40s, with small chances of showers, though as a strong cold
front draws nearer on Friday we may hear the rumble of thunder
scattered about. The weekend looks to be drying out with sun,
but considerably cooler with highs in the 40s and lows in the
20s - our last February weekend.
