Today's University Park forecast
The first full week of autumn looks to be cool and cloudy. This is due to a cold air mass following behind Saturday night’s thunderstorms. Some cloudiness from this system will linger around the area for today. Overnight an area of high pressure will edge toward the region allowing for skies to clear briefly before another system arrives later this week, bringing with it a further plunge into fall weather along with a chance for more precipitation.
