Allentown is starting Saturday under cloudy skies, chilly temperatures and a brisk northwest wind, with the thermometer expected to top out near 48 degrees. The weekend will stay cool, but a stretch of sunshine is already lining up for next week.
Afternoon Winds Keep Saturday Feeling Colder
The National Weather Service expects northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph Saturday, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Skies should remain mostly cloudy through the afternoon, with only a small chance of precipitation.
Saturday night will turn partly cloudy, but the wind will stick around and temperatures will fall to about 31 degrees. West winds around 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph could make the evening feel sharper than the thermometer suggests.
Brisk Sunday Gives Way To A Clearer Pattern
Sunday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 51, though northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph may again gust to 30 mph. Sunday night will be cold, with partly cloudy skies and a low around 32 degrees.
The weekend cooldown is a more pronounced turn than the warmer outlook earlier this week, which had already flagged a colder pattern after the late-week storm. The latest forecast, detailed in Hoodline’s earlier forecast, now points to a dry but distinctly November-like weekend.
Sunshine And A Warmup Arrive Next Week
Monday should be mostly sunny with a high near 53, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 58. Wednesday is expected to reach about 61 degrees, while Thursday and Friday could climb into the low to mid-60s under mostly sunny skies.
Overnight lows will remain cold early in the week, dipping to around 29 degrees Monday night and 31 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday nights. For outdoor plans, the forecast is simple: bundle up this weekend, watch for gusty winds, and save lighter layers for the second half of next week.
