Lehigh Valley Forecast: Expect Up to 1 Inch of Snow Tonight
Snowfall is forecasted for the northern Lehigh Valley tonight, with potential accumulations reaching up to one inch. However, some areas, particularly in northeast New Jersey, may see amounts of two inches. This weather pattern is associated with a low-pressure system moving through the Mid-Atlantic region.
Weather Forecast Details
The National Weather Service is actively monitoring the situation. A mix of rain and snow is anticipated as the system progresses. Key factors affecting precipitation type will depend on the location of the rain-snow line.
Expected Accumulations
- Lehigh Valley: Up to 1 inch of snow
- Northeast New Jersey: Locally up to 2 inches
The highest snow totals are likely to occur north of the I-195 and Pennsylvania Turnpike corridors. Additionally, in the transition zone just north and south of this line, expect a mix of rain and snow.
Timing and Temperature
Precipitation is expected to taper off by approximately 9 a.m. tomorrow, February 16. Overnight temperatures will range from the upper 20s to low 30s, creating conditions conducive to snowfall.
Post-Snow Conditions
Looking ahead, above-normal temperatures are projected throughout the week and into the upcoming weekend. Highs are expected to reach between the mid-40s and low 50s from Tuesday through Saturday. This warm spell will likely melt any remaining snow and lead to milder conditions across the region.
