Kevin's Backyard Weather Report

03/10/2010 AT 03:25 AM. by Kevin Shaw, Gaithersburg, MD.

Tuesday continued the trend of sun and warmer temps, well up

into the 60s (64.1) for the warmest day of the year so far,

topping the old mark of 62 back on January 25. Clouds started

to increase on Tuesday afternoon, only high type that didn't block

the sun's rays, but a harbinger for the moisture coming in later

this week. Also noticed a jet contrail this afternoon that was

quite long- more moisture in the upper atmosphere where those

high clouds were so the contrail's vapor trail didn't "dry out".

Rain showers start late Wednesday, and look to continue well

into the weekend. Should remain mild, and flooding, esp in the

mtns to my west where I just visited last weekend and where

there still is a big snowpack with lots of water locked up into

it. I heard today that Great Falls, a local spot on the Potomac
River, is really raging right now with all the mountain snow melt.

Would like to get down there sometime soon and check it out, if

I could ever break free from all the stuff I am trying to get

done.

I hope many of you have been able to check out my CWOP

data - running successfully now for several days. Link below.
