Nice Day, Continued Week… College!

Finally another wonderful day occurred, with clear to partly cloud skies over the state and temperatures rising to near 80 for much of the state as well. Much better then the past days where we were looking at very cloudy/foggy days and temperatures not getting anywhere past the mid 70s. These nice days look to continue, with highs through the week remaining in the 80s! Lows should range from the 50s tonight and tomorrow (north) slowly rising into the 60s as the moisture increases as well. SPC still has much of the northern Plains in a risk for severe weather later in the week, Wed-Fri to be exact. Hard to pinpoint an exact date and how good the threat will be this far out, but the chance is there, especially on Friday according to the DMX office with already 40 percent chances in the forecast on Friday night. This will be watched as it nears closer for the possibility of severe weather.

Other news will be the start up of college life once again. Although this is usually a good thing and good times are always to be had, it brings in two things that aren’t so great. Classes are the first one, with another fairly tough year on tap with Calculus and Physics among others. Hopefully with the schedule that I have and with some good luck and help from friends/classmates the semester will turn out ok and all classes will be passed. The other bad thing that happens with this, is by far the worst one and saddest, is the fact that I will now be living nearly 3 hours away from my girlfriend of near 2 years. After seeing each other for practically every day for the past 3 months, not seeing her for weeks on end will definately be a tough one. She’ll be missed and I can’t wait to see her again…
