WEATHER
[ Tuesday, March 12, 2002 ]

Today's University Park forecast
mostly sunny Increasing clouds and the chance for a light shower, especially for the afternoon hours, will grace our area today thanks to a low pressure system to our south. High pressure behind the system will then push through the commonwealth providing us with spring-like tempeatures and sunny skies for the remainder of the week.

-- Prepared by the Campus Weather Service
