Today's
University Park forecast
After a
pleasant day today, clouds and scattered showers
associated with an approaching storm system will push
into our region overnight. The slow-moving nature of this
storm will result in a rather cloudy and damp Arts
Festival weekend, though the weather will improve by the
start of the work week as skies clear and temperatures
begin to rebound.

Highlight
While much of the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic has yet to experience a significant heat
wave this year, parts of the South and Great Plains have
already received more than their share of summertime
heat. The excessive heat has been blamed for the deaths
of four people in Houston, TX this week. Unfortunately,
no relief is in sight for residents in the Great Plains,
as daytime highs are expected to exceed 100 degrees
across much of the region over the next several days.
