Rising temps can only be a good thing, right? For now the weather is amazing but it appears that it will be changing to more snow in the next few days. Walking to class today I saw some people wearing just sweatshirts and I'm outside wearing my normal winter coat with my hat and facemask. I feel like I don't fit in with how everyone else is dressing but at least I'm comfortable. Just because the temps are in the upper 20s doesn't mean it's time to put away you coat. You can still get pretty sick from this weather if you aren't safe. 



The Weather Channel
The water vapor map above shows that the skies across the country are filled with vapor but the large pockets of vapor are in New England, off the West coast, Oklahoma, and southern Minnesota. The vapor in Southern Minnesota shouldn't have much of an effect on us but I suspect that it'll keep the temps lower than previously predicted. 

It may be the time of day I'm posting but my prediction so far is off but I expect it to be much closer as the day goes on. Tomorrow should be another warm day with similar conditions as today and slightly lower pressure.
