[Wednesday,
Sept. 6, 2000 ] Today's University Park
forecast
A cool, dry Canadian
high forced the clouds from the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania yesterday, providing clear blue skies that
promise to persist for several days. As this high slides
to the east, southerly breezes will slowly moderate
temperatures. Be sure to take along a jacket for any
nighttime activities as temperatures will remain brisk
for the next few days.
