[Thursday,
March 15, 2001 ] Today's
University Park forecast
Showers will be visiting the region once
again for the next few days as a storm system centered
over the Tennessee Valley makes its way to the East
Coast. The passage of a cold front early this weekend
will result in windy conditions as well as cooler than
normal temperatures. Skies will start to clear early next
week as the next high pressure system begins to build
into the state.
