Mostly cloudy with sct. shwrs and T’storms
Today's University Park forecast
Clouds will be on the increase today as a low pressure system tracks up the Ohio Valley. This system will begin to overspread the region with showers and possibility a T’storm during the afternoon hours. The remainder of the weekend looks unsettled as the current pattern will leave the area vulnerable to disturbances. It looks like a trough will develop over the northern tier and push a cold front through sometime Sunday. Expect a brief cool down and unsettled weather early next week.
