partly sunny
Today's University Park forecast

A northerly wind flow out of Canada will direct cool air into central Pennsylvania today. Expect to see a mixture of sun and clouds throughout the day. Tonight, as winds diminish, temperatures will tumble into the 20s for the first time this season. By tomorrow, cloudiness will increase as the next storm system begins to take shape in the southeastern United States. This system will be a relatively fast mover and will affect our area later this week with the chance for some rain.
