Today's University Park forecast
Cold air returned yesterday in dramatic fashion in the form of very high winds. The last week of February will be much like the first, featuring bitter cold and sporadic snow showers. Snow will mainly occur in the early part of the week, with accumulations staying below an inch. For the remainder of the week, skies will be partly to mostly cloudy while temperatures stay mostly below freezing. The next possible snow event will arrive later in the week, as a potential winter storm makes a visit to the area.
