We saw some pretty nasty weather during the day Thursday and more is on the way. Thursday brought it all, high winds down the shore, cold temperatures everywhere, heavy rain and even snow from the Lehigh Valley and points north. Friday will be a little less nasty, but still nasty.
Storm number one will move out during the day Friday. I expect rain during the day, but most of it will be on the light side. There will be periods of rain with drizzle as well. Winds will still be an issue, but I think the biggest problems tomorrow will be down the shore. A coastal flood warning is in effect for our shore points during the morning and I think there could be some considerable coastal flooding and it may only get worse as we move into the day Saturday and Sunday as storm number two gets going.
Our first storm will continue to move away from the region on Saturday, but storm number two will be building in right behind it. This one may be a bit stronger as well with some heavy rain during the day Saturday and may bring even stronger winds. Depending on the location of the low, we could once again see some snow in the Lehigh Valley. I will be watching this closely. The Poconos will see some more snow and it could once again accumulate. I expect more watches, warnings and advisories to be posted during the day tomorrow for our second storm.
By late Saturday night, the heaviest of the rain should be letting up. The winds will still remain though so the coastal flooding problems will persist. We will see more showers and drizzle for much of the day Sunday before our storm finally starts to move away.
The best news is that next week looks much better with temperatures back into the 60's and plenty of sunshine. Just hold on!
