Today's University Park forecast
There will be clouds and drizzle today from the tail end of a cold front that passed through the region yesterday. This cold front is responsible for colder temperatures that will dominate the region for the next few days, even bringing the chance of a snow shower tonight. The remnants of precipitation will clear during the day tomorrow, but frigid temperatures will linger until Saturday when another low pressure system brings up some warmer air from the south as it approaches from the west.
