As of 1 p.m., temperatures were a balmy 67 degrees in Fort Greene, with a high near 70 expected—15 degrees above the norm for this time of year.

"I'm thinking of changing my major," said Torres, a current student of architecture—an area of expertise she claimed to be less than fond.

As of noon, Pay was tied with his opponent, 4-4.
