To start the weekend, we'll be departing from one college town to another. That's right, the 873 mile trip from the home of Notre Dame University to the home of Northern Oklahoma College-Enid Campus will last us into a second day. The driving will be done at a rate of 64.2 mph, which will allow us to cover 514 miles on the first day. College road trip!
DAY ONE
An area of low pressure over the northeast will continue to ferry in areas of rain throughout much of the east. Good thing we're heading to the west the, eh? After a mostly cloudy start in South Bend, conditions will begin to clear up and warm up as we head west and south after we reach Chicago. The day's drive will take us through Chicago and St. Louis (unfortunately right around rush hour) and into central Missouri. The stop for the night will be in Stoutland, between Rolla and Lebanon. It should have the makings for a fairly warm night, so the air conditioner will be appreciated.
DAY TWO
A nice little ridge will establish itself in the center of the country, warming things up for almost everyone, including ourselves. If there is any cooler, saving grace, it's that part of the drive on Tuesday will take us through the Ozarks. Even that won't do a whole lot to cool ourselves, to temperatures in the 80s and 90s will be the norm for the day. We'll get to Enid right in the hottest part of that day as well, so that's nice.
