Today's University Park forecast
After a
relatively warm weekend, more seasonable weather is in
store for the region over the next several days. Despite
a good deal of sunshine both today and tomorrow, it will
be a struggle to top 60 either day. Down the road, a
storm system will clip the region Wednesday bringing with
it some much needed rain showers. But, this sytem will
also drag warmer air into the region for weeks end. --Prepared by the Campus Weather Service

Weather Highlight
While much of Pennsylvania enjoyed warm, tranquil weather this past weekend, other portions of the country were not as fortunate. Warm air streaming out of the Gulf of Mexico, clashed with cold air funneling down from Canada to instigate strong to severe thunderstorms and snow across the Midwest.
