Persistent rain is expected to cover the Lehigh Valley for most of Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey says that low pressure will bring widespread — and beneficial — rainfall to the region. It is expected to continue through the evening before tapering off overnight.
Travelers should be aware of localized flooding and patchy fog. Temperatures will remain in the low 40s, and fall to the mid-30s in the evening.
