Mostly sunny and breezy
Today's University Park forecast
The arctic blast that caused extremely low temperatures across the Northeast will subside slowly for the next several days. High pressure that has been dominating the region with frigid air mass will retreat northward temporarily, allowing southerly flow to bring warmer air into the region. There will be a chance of snow on Sunday due to a low pressure passing to the south of Pennsylvania. Temperatures will gradually return to seasonal levels by the beginning of the week.
