Today's University Park forecast
Today will witness an abrupt change in weather. The day will begin with rain that has developed overnight, due to a strong low pressure entering Pennsylvania. Rain will become snow, thanks to a cold air following behind a cold front associated with this system. As the cold front sweeps the region, winds will be gusty and temperatures will gradually fall throughout the day. After this system exits this region tomorrow, cold temperatures will prevail once again in the Commonwealth.
