Today's University Park forecast
A major change in weather conditions is in store for the upcoming days. Clouds will increase throughout today due to a strong low pressure system heading towards the region from the Great Plain with rain developing in the late afternoon. Rain will be heavy and continue overnight along with strong winds. Once this system departs the region late tomorrow, temperatures will noticeably be below seasonal averages. Another low pressure system will affect the region on Friday.
