[Monday,
April 23, 2001 ] Today's
University Park forecast
After a partly sunny and warm day today, a storm brewing over the Ohio Valley will move eastward bringing rain to Happy Valley. Behind that storm, temperatures will plunge as Old Man Winter blows his [hopefully] last breath of frigid air into central Pennsylvania toward mid-week. Temperatures will moderate toward the semester’s end as high pressure moves into the area.
