Today's University Park
forecast
Southwesterly winds will continue to bring unseasonably
warm temperatures to our area through mid week. Clouds
filtering from the southwest will thicken in advance of a
low pressure system developing in the southern plains. As
the storm moves toward the region, moisture will be drawn
up from the Gulf of Mexico and produce rain by
week’s end. In the wake of this system, temperatures
will return to more winter-like levels.

Highlight
On this day in 1983, storms that had been plaguing the
Pacific coastline came to an end. These storms produced
swells that reached heights of up to 15 to 20 feet and
caused damage to several beaches in Southern California.
These storms were a result of the weather phenomenon
"El Nino," which is the abnormal warming of
waters in part of the Pacific Ocean.
