[ Thursday, Apr. 17, 2003 ]
Mother Nature is having another one of her springtime mood swings today as a rather sharp cold front sags southward over Pennsylvania. Skies will be more or less overcast for the remainder of the week due to an easterly flow from the Altantic Ocean. Rain is also possible through this period, but a washout is not expected as showers will be light and scattered. Temperatures will return to normal levels by the weekend, but another low pressure system over the Mississippi Valley late on Sunday could complicate matters for next week.
