Allentown is starting Sunday with some high cloudiness and temperatures near 34 degrees, but the day will warm quickly into the low 60s. The bigger story is the quiet stretch ahead: sunshine and above-normal warmth build through Wednesday before a wetter pattern moves in late Thursday.
Sunny Sunday Leads Into A Mild Midweek Stretch
The National Weather Service forecast calls for some high cloudiness Sunday, with a high near 63. The daytime forecast calls for north to northeast winds early, then light variable to calm winds and southeast winds after 18Z along and northwest of I-95; southwest winds are forecast for Sunday night. Tonight turns partly cloudy with a low around 36, and some nearby parts of southeastern Pennsylvania have a frost advisory through 8 a.m.; no active alert is listed for the Allentown forecast area.
Monday's clouds decrease as temperatures reach about 66, while Tuesday climbs near 70. Wednesday could be the warmest day of the run, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 73—one of those early-November days that makes the calendar look suspicious.
Rain Arrives Thursday And Hangs Around
Clouds increase Wednesday night, with rain possible Thursday and the best rain chances late Thursday into Friday. Friday remains wet with rain likely and a high near 71. The current outlook does not point to significant weather hazards, though forecasters say rainfall amounts could still end up on the heavier side.
The late-week system should break the dry stretch that has carried Allentown into November, giving outdoor plans a simple rule: enjoy the next few dry days, then keep an umbrella handy from Thursday on.
