Today's University Park forecast
The first significant snow accumulation is expected during the next couple days. A low pressure will approach the region, producing snow showers today. Another low pressure system will develop along the Atlantic coast and bring additional snowfall to the Commonwealth. The total accumulation of snowfall is expected to be less than 6 inches. Once this system departs, high pressure will build in and provide mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures for the next week.
