Sun and clouds with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms
Today's University Park forecast
Clouds will prevail for most of the day today, due to a front which will slowly dissipate as it moves from north to south across Pennsylvania. This front will likely bring some isolated pockets of drizzle as well, especially during the morning hours. Behind this front, high pressure will bring clearer skies and drier conditions for later tonight through the end of the week. Highs will stay near 70 today, but rebound into the mid 70s by Thursday.
