Today's
University Park forecast
After a
cold front passed through Happy Valley early yesterday
morning, a Canadian high resumes the recent trend of cool
nights and partly sunny days. After this high-pressure
system moves offshore, a southwesterly flow will replace
it early next week. That will bring increased humidity
into the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and renew a regime
of scattered storms.

Highlight
On this day in 1933, a weekend storm drifted into
northern New England and adjacent portions of Qučbec.
The storm scoured Norfolk, Virginia with a storm surge
seven feet above normal high tide, a feat since
unequaled. It also pounded York, Pennsylvania with winds
over 50 miles per hour and 14.36 inches of rain. In
contrast, Agnes in June 1972 dropped 15.67 inches on the
city.
