Today's University Park forecast
Maybe
Punxsutawney Phil is going to eat his words... Although
spring-like weather is expected once again today, a
disturbance will bring showers and cooler temperatures
during the day on Wednesday. After a pleasant Thursday,
our first real winter storm could take aim at the region
by Friday, bringing the threat of snow and gusty winds.

Weather Highlight
A major winter storm may develop by the end of the week. Called a "Nor'Easter", this type of storm can bring heavy snows to the Appalachian Mountains and gusty winds to the coast. It is still too early for details, however, as the snowstorm's development is not a certainty...yet.
