a normal day
Today's University Park forecast

The region should expect to see the rain that began last night to continue throughout the day with a thunderstorm popping up occasionally. A cold front will approach the area Friday. This will allow temperatures to fall to below seasonal normals. An area of low pressure developing along the front will continue the chance of rain, this time of a steadier variety, to continue through the beginning of the weekend. Look for improving conditions by the first of next week.
