Allentown is getting a mild, mostly sunny Veterans Day before a wet and much colder stretch moves in. Patchy fog could linger early Wednesday, but the day should warm into the low 60s with light winds. By Friday, temperatures will struggle to reach the upper 40s.
Sunshine Gives Way To Overnight Rain
The National Weather Service forecast allows for possible patchy fog Wednesday morning that should dissipate after sunrise, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 63. Temperatures will ease back through the afternoon as southwest winds stay light, making Wednesday the best outdoor-planning day of the week.
Clouds will thicken Wednesday night, but conditions should remain dry and mild. The system is expected to bring unsettled, rainy weather Thursday into Friday. Thursday will be cloudy, with a 70% chance of precipitation.
Friday Brings Wind And A Sharp Temperature Drop
Rain may continue Thursday night as temperatures fall to around 37. Friday stays unsettled, with rain likely, a high near 48 and northwest wind gusts reaching 25 mph. The overnight low could drop to about 31, giving the region its first distinctly wintry-feeling night of the season.
Saturday has a 30% chance of showers and should turn partly sunny. Forecasters say rain could mix with snow in higher elevations farther northwest, particularly in the southern Poconos, but rain remains the main concern around Allentown.
Colder Weekend, Brighter Next Week
Sunday should be mostly sunny. Temperatures should moderate through Tuesday. Overnight lows will hover near freezing, dipping to about 29 Monday night and 28 Tuesday night.
The colder outlook is a substantive update from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had already flagged late-week rain but showed a less settled temperature picture. With no active alerts listed for Pennsylvania, the practical takeaway is simple: enjoy Wednesday's brief sunshine, keep rain gear nearby Thursday and plan for a brisk, windy Friday.
