Today's University Park forecast
Yesterday’s spurt of winter weather will end this evening as scattered snow showers. Though cloud cover will decrease slightly as the system moves off to the northeast, Happy Valley will remain under mostly cloudy skies for the next few days. After a brief period of clearing on Friday afternoon, clouds thicken again as another low pressure system travels through Ontario, bringing rain for Saturday. Temperatures will increase through the week returning to seasonable levels by Saturday.
