the forecast for the remainder of the week.

Weather Highlight
Any keen sky observer in State College
noted a hazy mist or smog throughout the weekend. This
haze formed as progressively warmer air streamed over
cooler air that had settled in Happy Valley. This caused
industrial pollution and car exhaust, normally dispersed
into the atmosphere, to be trapped near the surface.
During the day, the sun warms the cool air in the valley,
allowing these pollutants to rise gradually.
