Today's University Park
forecast
Fair
weather will preside over Happy Valley through much of
this week as high pressure dominates. This period will be
marked by cool, clear nights and comfortable, sunny days,
with a slight warming trend toward week’s end.
However, as Iowa comes to town on Saturday, so does our
next chance for precipitation..

Highlight
As the Atlantic hurricane season
begins to come to a close, eyes are fixed on the West
Pacific where Typhoon Xangsane strengthens as it
approaches Taiwan. Over the weekend, Xangsane crossed
over the Philippines causing widespread power outages and
sever flooding in Manila. Atleast 13 people were killed
and an estimated 20,000 were forced to evacuate their
homes as Xangsane’s 70mph winds battered the region.
Fall
Foliage
Fall foliage is
past its peak in most of the Commonwealth except for the
southeastern and western portions of the state, where
colors are now at their peak.
