The Lehigh Valley is expected to see sporadic showers and thunderstorms on Thursday, along with humid weather and highs in the mid to upper 80s.
There could be sporadic precipitation and fluctuating weather patterns throughout the day as a cold front moves into the area.
According to the National Weather Service forecast, there is a greater chance of precipitation in the afternoon, with scattered showers and thunderstorm activity most likely to form between 8 a.m. and noon.
Particularly in the southern parts of the predicted region, high precipitable water levels indicate the potential for downpours. Light winds of around 5 mph will blow from the southwest at first, then turn north.
Values of the heat index High humidity on Thursday might cause temperatures to drop into the low 90s. Muggy conditions will result from dew points that stay in the upper 60s to about 70 degrees. Although there are currently no severe weather warnings for Lehigh, Northampton, or Warren counties, residents should be ready for unexpected downpours and possibly brief thunderstorm activity.

As thunderstorms dumped heavy rain in several areas of the Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, police reported cars caught in rising water in the 3300 block of Lehigh Street in Salisbury Township.
Similar weather patterns are anticipated during the course of the weekend. With temperatures continuously in the upper 80s, there is a potential of scattered showers on Friday and Saturday. Late Sunday and Monday are predicted to see the passage of a cold front across the area, which could result in somewhat cooler and less humid weather early next week.
With high pressure moving in from the northeast and temperatures staying in the low 80s, the longer forecast predicts a gradual shift to more stable conditions by midweek. For any changes to the temperature and precipitation projections, residents should keep an eye on their local forecasts.
