[Friday,
Aug. 4, 2000 ] Today's
University Park forecast
Less
humidity and slighty cooler temperatures are in store for
the end of the summer semester in Happy Valley as high
pressure slides in behind the cold front that brought us
heavy rains yesterday. Pleasant conditions will last
through the weekend but the threat of showers returns for
the start of next week.
