Today's University Park forecast
Unfortunately, Sunday’s dreary weather was only a premonition of what’s to come. A large low pressure system affecting the entire east coast will be moving through the Commonwealth during the first half of this week. Expect two heavy batches of precipitation to affect the area: one this evening and one later on Tuesday. Total precipitation amounts may reach over 2 inches causing rivers and streams to be prone for flooding. The next opportunity to see the sun will be Thursday.
