Today's University Park forecast
High pressure that provided the region with pleasant weather conditions in the past few days will gradually exit to the northeast today, giving a way to a low pressure system currently in the Tennessee Valley. Clouds will be on increase and rain showers are possible tomorrow afternoon. The departure of this weak system will be followed by the arrival of a stronger storm currently developing in the Great Plains, which will enter the region on Thursday with rain showers and thunderstorms.
