Today's University Park forecast
Today will be another day of increasing clouds in the morning and showers in the afternoon. There will be a chance of afternoon showers, but less likely than what it has been this week. A low pressure associated with an upper-level trough extending from Ontario to Florida will approach the region tomorrow, adding more precipitation to this year’s unusually wet summer. Precipitation may be heavy at times in some areas, mostly in the eastern parts of Pennsylvania.
