FORECAST SUMMARY<\/p>\n
A mild Wednesday in store with temperatures approaching the mid 60’s. The winds will be picking up into the afternoon and especially overnight. We could be gusting to 50mph into to early morning hours of tomorrow, so make sure you have anything outside that can blow around secured before bed. A passing isolated shower can’t be ruled out with that frontal passage this evening and overnight, but most should stay completely dry. A better chance for more of you to see rain comes Friday evening and overnight.<\/p>\n
DETAILED FORECAST<\/p>\n
WEDNESDAY\u00a0<\/p>\n
The winds shift from the southwest today ahead of our next cold front for Wednesday night, which will allow milder highs around 60-65\u00b0 for Wednesday afternoon. Winds will be light in the morning, but more noticeable in the afternoon, around 10-15mph with gusts to 25-30mph. As the cold front slides through Wednesday night, a few light and scattered rain showers are possible, but mostly confined to areas north of the Lehigh Valley through the Poconos and far North Jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY<\/p>\n
Winds shift back from the west and northwest for Thursday behind our next cold front, and temps will trend a little cooler as a result. Skies should be partly to mostly sunny on Thursday, with slightly cooler highs in the mid 50s and a cooler northwest breeze (15mph, gusts to 30mph). Breezes will then diminish Thursday night, but pick up again Friday as the next in our series of cold fronts approaches. On Friday, it’s that milder southwest breeze back for an encore, so likewise highs should approach 60-degrees once again as sunshine mixes with increasing afternoon clouds. The best chance of rain in the forecast for the entire area arrives with that front Friday night, with at least a few tenths of an inch of rain expected, mostly overnight Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
THIS WEEKEND<\/p>\n
We should be “in-between” fronts for Saturday and even most of Sunday, and remain relatively mild with highs in the mid to lower 60s on Saturday, and seasonably comfortable in the\u00a0upper 50s on Sunday. Most of Saturday looks dry after maybe a lingering shower Saturday morning. A\u00a0few rain showers are possible Sunday as our next front and low pressure develops. This is the front with a notable shot of cold air behind it, which we will feel early next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
EARLY NEXT WEEK<\/p>\n
Monday looks to be the coldest day (and night) of the fall so far, with gusty winds and highs perhaps struggling to do much better than the mid 40s, a good 10-15 degrees colder than average for early November. There could even be some sprinkles or even Pocono flurries around on Monday, with lake effect and mountain snows possible to our north over the Great Lakes and New England. Nighttime lows may drop into the 20s area-wide Monday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
