This week brings a true early-fall mix to campus, with warm afternoons, cooler nights and just enough rain to keep everyone on their toes. From quick showers to stretches of sunshine, it’s the kind of week that reminds students to carry both sunglasses and umbrellas in their backpacks.
Monday: Mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and possible afternoon thunderstorms. The high reaches 77°F before dipping to 62°F overnight. Students should keep an umbrella handy as downpours could arrive between classes.
Tuesday: A few lingering showers keep the day unsettled, with highs around 77°F and lows near 60°F. Dry breaks are expected, making it possible to enjoy the quad in between passing clouds. Humidity sticks around, giving the air a heavier feel.
Wednesday: Cooler with more sun breaking through, though a few showers still linger. Highs sit near 73°F and lows fall to 58°F. It’s a refreshing day overall, especially in the morning and evening when rain chances are lowest.
Thursday: Partly sunny skies return, offering one of the nicest days of the week. A comfortable high of 73°F pairs with a low of 58°F. Perfect for studying outside or grabbing coffee downtown without worrying about rain.
Friday: The week turns warmer under mostly sunny skies, climbing to 83°F with lows near 58°F. Afternoons feel bright and inviting for campus events or a walk across the lawn. Evenings cool just enough to make light layers comfortable.
Saturday: Sunshine continues, with highs peaking at 82°F and lows dropping near 61°F. Great conditions for football practice, strolling downtown or relaxing on the quad with friends. The mild evening air sets up well for weekend plans.
Sunday: Partly sunny skies with a chance of afternoon showers or storms. The high reaches 84°F before falling to 63°F overnight. Students planning outdoor activities should aim for the morning to dodge possible rain later in the day.
With highs ranging from the low 70s to mid-80s and a mix of sun and showers, next week offers both cozy study weather and warm outdoor afternoons. The first half leans wetter while the weekend provides more sun, giving students a little bit of everything September has to offer.
