Today's University Park forecast
As a
high pressure system takes over the area, temperatures
will be hot and humid. Some relief might come through on
Friday as there is a chance for some afternoon rain and a
possible thunderstorm. This will help lower the humidity
for the weekend. Expect a pleasant weekend with sunny
skies and warm temperatures.
