Today's University Park forecast
A low pressure system heading towards Pennsylvania will start rain falling this afternoon and continue through the night, possibly dropping more than an inch of rain by the time it moves out tomorrow. As the low moves through, winds will be strong and gusty. A cold front associated with the low will bring cooler temperatures for the rest of the week. After the low departs the remainder of the week will see mostly sunny skies as a high pressure system moves in from the east.
