Today's University Park
forecast
Sunshine and warm
conditions will again grace Happy Valley as high pressure
continues its dominance over the region. As the high
begins to move to the southeast, a warm southwesterly
flow will begin to usher in moisture late in the day on
Saturday. An advancing low pressure system will utilize
this moisture and produce some rain and possibly even a
thunderstorm for Monday.
