The Lehigh Valley could get more snow again this weekend after a light snowfall this week.
A system is expected to affect the region Saturday night into Sunday, but forecasters with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, said Thursday the exact details are not clear yet.
There is a 50%-70% chance of 1 inch or more of snow, and a 30%-50% chance of 2 inches or more of snow, according to forecasters. The highest likelihood of snow is to the south of the Lehigh Valley, in the Delaware Valley.
Any precipitation should taper off Sunday morning.
The possible weekend snow comes after a light snow shower late Wednesday afternoon. Lehigh Valley International Airport recorded .4 inches of snow. So far, 1.3 inches of snow have been recorded there this month.
Northern parts of the region reported higher snowfall totals. Nazareth had 3.1 inches of snow, and Neffs in North Whitehall Township and Washington Township, Lehigh County, had 2 inches, according to weather service data. The snow led to slick roads and several crashes during the Wednesday evening commute.
There is a slight chance of snow showers possible after 4 p.m. Thursday, according to the weather service. There could be some snow squalls across the southern Poconos.
Early next week should be clear, with high temperatures in the 20s and 30s.
