Today's University Park
forecast
Another mild day is on tap for today as
southerly winds allow for warm air to stream into our
region. However, a storm system approaching during the
day on Friday will generate more clouds and an increased
threat of rain. By Saturday, a strong cold front will
pass through the area, returning temperatures to more
seasonable levels in time for the end of the weekend..

Highlight
Though the official start of winter is nearly two
months away, on this date in 1859, New York City received
a taste of the season to come as four inches of snow
blanketed the city. This snow event proved to be the
earliest substantial snowfall ever recorded in the Big
Apple.
Fall
Foliage
Fall foliage has reached its peak in north-central parts of the Commonwealth and will be reaching its peak just about everywhere else in Pennsylvania this coming week.
