An unsettled weather pattern sets up for the weekend as we have to consider Henri. High temperature near 80. Winds northwest at 5 mph.

GOLDEN BEAR CRAIG REYNOLDS DAZZLES IN NFL’S DETROIT LIONS DEBUT
Less than 24 hours after signing a free agent contract with the National Football League’s Detroit Lions, Kutztown University alum Craig Reynolds became a preseason story everyone is pulling for. Reynolds, who said he introduced himself to teammates in the huddle last Friday night, ran for a team-high 49 yards on six carries and scored on a 24-yard touchdown run as the Lions fell to the Buffalo Bills 16-15. The touchdown was the first of Reynolds’ professional career. Read about Craig’s debut as he looks to earn a permanent roster spot with the Lions this fall: https://bit.ly/3k5HyVP.
