Today's University Park
forecast
Sunny skies and warm weather will be the rule for the
Homecoming 2000 Weekend in Happy Valley. Clear skies
prevail until a passing weak cold front generates only a
few clouds on Saturday. Our splendid weather will
continue through Monday as a Canadian high pressure
system builds in from the north. The next threat for any
unsettled weather will not arrive until midweek.

Highlight
Yet another dry and mild gameday is expected tomorrow as
Penn State takes on the Fighting Illini. Southerly flow
ahead of a weak cold front will allow temperatures to
peak in the upper 60s. Skies will be partly cloudy, so be
sure to apply plenty of sunscreen.

Fall
Foliage
Fall foliage is past peak in most areas of
Pennsylvania. If you plan on seeing the beautiful hues of
autumn, you'll have to travel to the Susquehanna Valley.
Another place to view the foliage is in the Lehigh Valley
and the Southwestern portion of the commonwealth.
