Today's
University Park forecast
After a
warm, sunny day yesterday, a cold front will approach the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today but stall over New
York. This will provide several days of cloudy weather
and rain showers for Happy Valley. The front will push
through the state in time for the weekend, and cold
Arctic air will rush into the region, providing a few
mountain snow flurries to begin Fall Break.
