Today's University Park forecast
The recent snowfall that accumulated on Tuesday is merely a weak attempt by old man winter to try and hold on with his icy grasp. Much to his disappointment, a quiet, beautiful weather pattern will soon settle upon the state of Pennsylvania. No snow or rain is in the forecast for the next few days, but a pleasant moderating trend is. As we get closer to the weekend, temperatures will continue to climb during the daytime hours, peaking in the mid 50s this weekend. Break out the shorts!
