Today's University Park forecast
A cold front passed through the area from the north overnight. This system should bring scattered showers and a few isolated thunderstorms mostly to our north. The cold front will retreat as a warm front later today, bringing more scattered showers. After this area of low pressure moves out of the region, seasonable autumn weather should return and remain for at least the beginning of next week. The remains of Lili should merge with the low pressure system but her influence should remain mostly north and west of Pennsylvania.

A great storm struck New England. The storm reportedly was predicted twelve months in advance by a British officer named Saxby. Heavy rains and high floods plagued all of New England, with strong winds and high tides over New Hampshire and Maine. Canton CT was deluged with 12.35 inches of rain. (David Ludlum)
