Today's University Park forecast
A weak low pressure passing through Ontario will drag a cold front through the state today. With this front will come a slight chance for light snow, as well as a notable temperature drop. In the wake of this system, an area of high pressure will settle in, ushering cold Canadian air in from the northwest. This high should stay roughly in place for most of the week, keeping skies clear and the nights very cold. The next chance for precipitation will be during the weekend.
