Today's University Park forecast
Moderating temperatures and rain showers will be the main weather events for the next couple days. A low pressure approaching Pennsylvania will bring in warm air from south, which will take temperatures back to seasonal levels, and spread rain showers across the region tomorrow. The storm’s departure will be followed by a brief arctic air blast late Wednesday. For the rest of the week, temperatures will once again return to normal and skies will be gradually cleared out.
