A moving forecast for your college move-in

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Michiana is feeling Fall-like today with a forecasted high in the low 70s today.

If the high temperature of 74F is validated, it will be tied for the third coolest August 18 in recorded history, which is good news for those moving in trying to avoid Summer-like temperatures.

A spell of dry weather also breaks the historical trend that over 66% this particular day has experienced some form of precipitation since standardized observation began.

Because of the seasonably cool weather today, treat yourself to a coffee or hot beverage to wake yourself up for move-in.

Lack of high dewpoints and drier weather also means decorating your dorm room with adhesives like command hooks won't be inhibited by "sweaty" surfaces.

Keep in mind that temperatures inside residence halls will always be warmer than outside that same building, especially in the upper floors of most buildings due to heated air being lighter and rising quickly.

Stay hydrated as you enter the residence hall moving boxes and furniture around with an excess number of bodies also generating heat as other families move in.
