After yesterday’s rainfall, Happy
Valley should experience some drier weather for the
remainder of the school week. Under the control of a
strong high pressure from the Midwest, afternoon high
temperatures will soar to above normal levels, while the
nights will be mainly clear and calm. The next rain
opportunity will arrive on Saturday in the form of a few
scattered showers.

On This Date In... 1894
In contrast to the mainly snowless winter we experienced in Pennsylvania, in 1894, a major late season snowstorm blanketed the northeastern U.S. Snowfall totals in the Commonwealth included 31.5 inches at Salem Corners, PA and 14 inches at York, PA.
Areas to the north and east recived large snow amounts as well including 30 inches at Waterbury, CT, 26 inches at LeRoy, NY, and 9 inches at Providence, RI.
Current Weather Highlight
A welcome rain doused parts of Oklahoma on Tuesday causing flooded roadways and buildings. On a positive note, wheat farmers in the central and southwestern parts of the state received anywhere from one to two inches of rain. Scott Bulling, Oklahomo Farm Bureau Crop Manager coined, “For those folks, it was probably a million-dollar rain”. Much of the state has seen less than half its normal rainfall since October. Even though a lot of the wheat crop is in poor condition, a steady pattern of rain and cooler temperatures will help bring it back.
