Allentown woke to cloudy skies Sunday, but sunshine will take over as the day unfolds. The high should reach about 62 degrees, with west winds occasionally gusting to 25 mph before a mostly clear, cooler night.
Sunshine Today, Stronger Gusts Monday
Sunday’s breezy weather will ease tonight, when skies turn mostly clear and temperatures fall to around 41 degrees. Monday stays mostly sunny near 60, but west winds will run 10 to 15 mph and could gust as high as 30 mph.
That combination should make for comfortable sunshine with a noticeable bite in the wind, especially during exposed afternoon errands or outdoor plans. Loose patio items, lightweight decorations and anything else that can take flight may want a quick check before Monday.
Warm, Dry Stretch Through Veterans Day
Tuesday looks like the warmest day of the near-term forecast, with full sunshine and a high near 63 degrees. After a mostly clear night near 38, Veterans Day on Wednesday should stay sunny and mild, reaching about 61 degrees.
Rain Arrives Thursday With A Colder Turn
The pattern changes Thursday, when rain becomes possible after 7 a.m. and temperatures top out near 56 degrees, according to the National Weather Service Mount Holly. Rain chances reach 70% Thursday night, with Friday bringing a 40% chance of rain and snow and a high near 50.
Rain or snow could accompany the colder late-week weather, with temperatures dropping to around 28 degrees. Forecasters are also monitoring a potentially strong coastal storm late in the week, but the storm’s track, strength and precipitation type remain uncertain; the colder outlook is a sharper update from Saturday’s Allentown forecast.
For now, the practical plan is straightforward: enjoy the sunny stretch Sunday through Wednesday, prepare for gusty conditions Monday and keep rain gear handy from Thursday into Friday. No local land-based watches, warnings or advisories are listed in the current forecast.
