BELOW-AVERAGE TEMPS TO STAY AROUND THROUGH THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY

Easton and most of the Lehigh Valley got left out of the snow party Thursday-Friday. Upwards to 4" of the white stuff fell in Chester and Montgomery Counties and areas west causing some travel problems in those areas. Even Philadelphia recorded an inch of snow on Friday.



After a cold and blustery weekend, we will have one day of moderation here in the Lehigh Valley. Despite Monday's mid 40's forecast, temperatures will again retreat to the upper 30's to near 40F range right through the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. Precipitation chances should be limited to snow showers or snow mixed with rain showers for the early part of this upcoming week, but Thanksgiving looks like a mix of clouds and sun and a high around 40F at this time. All-in-all, not bad.
