Today's University Park forecast
Some sunshine will return to Happy Valley today as the weather system which brought clouds to the region yesterday moves east. The pleasant conditions will continue the first half of the weekend before clouds begin to increase again ahead of the next cold front. This front will bring the threat of showers back to the region by Sunday evening. Temperatures will remain near seasonable levels through the beginning of next week.
