Today's University Park forecast
Some relatively tranquil weather is in store for State College in the wake of last week’s winter storm. An area of high pressure is sitting over the region this morning, and will begin to edge off the Atlantic coast. This will cause winds to turn to a more southerly direction and temperatures to moderate in advance of a low pressure system from the Midwest. Precipitation should fall mostly in the form of rain, with the possibility of a changeover to snow later this week.
