[Wednesday,
April 25, 2001 ] Today's
University Park forecast
Sunshine with a decrease in humidity will be the rule in Happy Valley today as a high pressure system moves into the area. This high pressure system will keep things nice through the end of the week. A return to warmer conditions seems likely as a southwest flow looks to set up over the weekend. Showers will return to the forecast as the temperatures climb once again.

SEVERE WEATHER
On this day in 1990, thunderstorms produced severe
weather from Texas to Nebraska, spawning fifteen
tornadoes, including a powerful (F-4) tornado near
Weatherford TX. Del Rio, TX was raked with hail two
inches in diameter, and wind gusts to 112 mph. Brown
County and Commanche County in TX were deluged with up to
18 inches of rain, and flooding caused more than 65
million dollars in damage.

Weather
Fact
The National Weather Service uses wind speed and hail
size to define official severe thunderstorms. A
thunderstorm is declared severe by the NWS if wind gusts
reach 58 mph or stronger, or if hail size is three
quarters of an inch or bigger. A thunderstorm only needs
to meet one of the above criteria to be declared severe.
Lightning is a danger with all thunderstorms, regardless
of severity.
