Fog and rain are making for a messy start Friday in Allentown, with temperatures near 63 degrees. A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect through 8 a.m., while rain is expected Friday. The day should turn warmer and calmer by afternoon, with a high near 69.
The fog could make the morning commute hazardous, especially on untreated or winding roads. Drivers should slow down, use headlights and leave extra space, while pedestrians and cyclists should expect wet pavement and limited visibility.

Sunny Weekend Brings A Seasonal Reset
Saturday looks mostly sunny with a high near 60, though west winds of 5 to 15 mph could gust as high as 25 mph. Sunday should be mostly sunny again and slightly warmer, reaching about 60 degrees.
The improvement continues into next week, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 58 Monday, 63 Tuesday and sunny Wednesday with a high near 73. Clear nights will feel much more like November, with lows dipping into the upper 30s and lower 40s after Friday.
That shift marks a sharp change from the rain-and-fog pattern covered in Thursday’s forecast. For now, the practical plan is simple: take the fog seriously Friday morning, keep rain gear nearby through midday and save outdoor plans for the sunnier weekend.
