Mainly clear start, valley fog. Clouds developing midday with pockets of heavy rain beginning in the southern Alleghenies, spreading north. Coverage less than yesterday. Rain avoided Garrett County. Near Mt. Davis north a slow moving heavy cell developed in Somerset County. Brief heavy cell near Spruce Knob. Heaviest area looks to have been near Slatyfork off radar estimates.

The Glades dropping to 37.6 overnight. A much calmer night with minimal mixing. Models, including 3km nam did poor with indications temps would fall as much, GFS somewhat better. Generally 4-8 under modeled dewpoint if calm winds, clear skies rule in these coldest pockets. 

At 6:20am, temp was 39° at The Glades while 59° at Keysers Ridge

Wall to wall sun, comfortable dew points…beautiful day

Temp profile this afternoon + dewpoints

 

The Glades overnight. Easy to tell there was plenty of air mixing at times overnight. Light SE breezes at times.  Temp fell to 41 by 11pm overnight, then a rise to 51 by 1am, back to 43, back to 50 to a calm period before dawn allowing for the temp to fall back to 40. Now, Bittinger 2nw Valley being more protected, did not see the mixing and did not see the rapid falls and rises. It also  doesn’t cool as rapidly as the bog in prime conditions.
