Today's University Park forecast
This fall semester will begin with wet and cool conditions. A front that has produced precipitation yesterday will remain almost stationary and spread more precipitation over the region today, mostly in the morning hours. The front will gradually move out of the region by tomorrow, and there will be a brief break, until a low pressure system currently developing near North Dakota enters the region with a good chance of heavy precipitation tomorrow night. Temperatures will be below normal.
