Today's University Park
forecast
Plentiful sunshine and warmer temperatures will provide
the area with a few days of comfortable fall weather.
Strong high pressure controlling the East Coast will
prevent any storm systems from putting a damper on much
of the weekend. A front approaching the region late
Sunday will bring our next chance of rain early next
week.
