Today's University Park forecast
Flood
watches are in effect until late this afternoon because
the remains of Tropical Storm Isidore are accelerating
northeastward and thus bringing significant rainfall to
most of Pennsylvania. Rain will be heavy at times today
but gradually decrease in intensity until it finally
leaves the area towards dawn tomorrow. In Isidore’s
wake will be more cool dry autumn air. These conditions
should persist into the middle of next week.--
