Today's University Park
forecast
A
powerful low pressure system sweeping through the region
will bring unseasonably warm weather ahead of it today
with drenching rain at times. As this system moves off to
the northeast, high pressure will build in behind it,
allowing for decreasing cloudiness overnight.
Temperatures tomorrow will be cooler than today, but they
will still remain above normal for this time of year.
This high pressure will move off to the Atlantic Coast,
providing milder temperatures through the weekend.
