Today's University Park forecast
After a weekend with a
much-needed victory as well as some much-needed rain, the
sun is ready to make a comeback for the next few days.
Tempertaures will be a touch above normal for this time
of the year, at least until later in the week, when a
weak cold front is due in from the west. The front should
bring some significant cloud cover and cooler conditions.--
