After temperatures that felt more like October than August last week, forecasters say the Lehigh Valley will return to summer in a big way this week. Near-record heat is expected Wednesday.
“We have cooler air coming in," Lehigh Valley meteorologist Bobby Martrich said in his latest update. "Cooler air and refreshing air coming in for the next several days.” How far will temperatures fall?
