Today's
University Park forecast
Overcast
skies, fog, and periods of drizzle will persist as we
march into the Labor Day weekend. An upper level low,
currently off the coast of the Carolinas, will continue
producing an easterly flow off the Atlantic Ocean
providing these cool and humid conditions. Fans watching
the kickoff to the Penn State home football series could
see some showers, so pack a poncho.
