A rare tornado in Upper Bucks County was confirmed by officials from the National Weather Service late this week. The EF1 tornado achieved a maximum wind speed of 95 mph during the time it touched down over a campground in rural Tinicum Township Sunday, shortly before 10 p.m.
In the wake of a winter storm that generally deposited three to four inches of snow on the area early Saturday, another more potent snowstorm is taking aim at the Lehigh Valley.
As the parent of a Saucon first-grader and a teacher in New York City, Anthony Lama told the school board he knows about education and is concerned that children in his district are losing out on theirs because of too-frequent school closings.
For anyone who thought that with March 2019 would come spring-like weather, Mother Nature is apparently out to prove you wrong. The Saucon Valley area will have two chances for accumulating snow and will experience unseasonable cold in the coming days, forecasters say.
Where is warmer weather? Although March 1 is what is referred to as the start of meteorological spring, it won’t be feeling spring-like in the Lehigh Valley for the foreseeable future, according to forecasters.
If you live in an area that is prone to power outages you may want to make preparations for the possible loss of electricity due to high winds that are forecast this afternoon and Monday, the National Weather Service says.
It could be a windy start to the work week, according to the National Weather Service, so if you have lightweight items stored outside–or outdoor activities or travel planned–you may want to monitor the weather forecast.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for 10 a.m. Wednesday to 8 a.m. Thursday, when it says “heavy mixed precipitation” including 3 to 5 inches of snow and up to a tenth of an inch of ice are possible.
In the wake of a winter storm that closed Saucon Valley schools for two days last week the weather turned mild and sunny on Friday, but don’t be fooled. Mother Nature is planning to deliver a one-two punch of winter weather to our area, according to forecasters.
Saucon Valley students will enjoy another snow day Tuesday, as a winter storm is expected to blanket the region with a mixture of precipitation that will likely include snow, sleet and freezing rain.
A couple of winter weather systems are expected to affect the Lehigh Valley Monday and Tuesday, with a break in the action in between them. What falls on either side of that break is forecast to be frozen, but what form it takes, and the forecast for where it falls is subject to interpretation.
