[Tuesday,
Jan. 8, 2002 ] Today's
University Park forecast
The
clouds which hung around yesterday will break and allow
some sunshine to filter through today as high pressure
from the Southeastern U.S. nudges northward. A
disturbance moving westward across from the Great Lakes
will bring a return of the cloudiness tonight, in
addition to touching off some flurries. Temperatures
tomorrow will rise to near 40, allowing some of the snow
showers to possibly mix with rain. Another disturbance
will bring similar weather for Thursday.
