Today's University Park forecast

Last week was one of extremes, featuring highs in the 80s and lows in the 30s. For this week, conditions look to be more in moderation. A system that came from the Great Lakes yesterday will be moving over State College today, bringing widespread rain and scattered thunderstorms. The associated cold front will push through by tonight, but temperatures will remain on the mild side. Rain showers will remain possible through tomorrow night. The rest of the week looks cool but tranquil with seasonal high temperatures.
