As of Tuesday, the Lehigh Valley was suffocating in its thirteenth day of 90-plus temperatures this summer, well on the way to surpassing the average of 14.42 days in the 90s for records that date back to 1912.
The Lehigh Valley will face “an active week in terms of weather hazards,” the National Weather Service said early Monday, with the remnants of Beryl expected to impact the area.
Possible showers and thunderstorms will provide little relief from the humidity over the next several days, according to the National Weather Service.
This Fourth of July in the Lehigh Valley, the fireworks in the sky might come from Mother Nature. There's a storm threat, and some will be capable of producing very heavy rain that could lead to localized flash flooding.
