WEATHER
[ Thursday, December 11, 2003 ]
Mostly sunny and cold.
Today's University Park forecast
Rain will be the story of the day as a cold front moves through Pennsylvania bringing some rain and morning fog. The precipitation will help melt the snow left over from last week which may cause some localized flooding. Behind the front is another burst of cold Canadian air which will bring us a cold spell for the weekend. Sunday will end with another system on our horizon that will be bringing us some new snow for finals week.
