Clouds will linger today, although sun will
break through the clouds during the afternoon. Skies will
clear tonight as a ridge of high pressure builds into the
region. This will allow temperatures to dip closer to
seasonal levels, and sunny skies tomorrow will make for a
great start to Thon weekend. Clouds will filter back into
Happy Valley late Sunday as a low pressure system passes
to our north, bringing colder air and the chance of
precipitation as we head back to class.

Highlight
Governor Mark Schweiker declared a drought emergency for Philadelphia this past Tuesday. Water conservation acts are now in progress as most of Pennsylvania heads into spring with a six-month precipitation total far below normal. The entire northeast is below average, especially Maine. They have received 75% precipitation less than normal, and are having the worst drought since 1965.
