NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND IN

WRF DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF CAPE OVER THE REGION WHILE THE GFS IS
MORE THAN ABUNDANT WITH ITS CAPE. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF VEERING
AND WINDS ALOFT ARE ONLY FCST TO BE IN THE 20S AND 30S. THERE IS
SOME DECENT MOISTURE FCST, WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S. THE BIGGEST WILD CARD IS CLOUD COVER AS CURRENT MODEL DATA
KEEPS THE REGION FAIRLY CLOUDY, WHICH COULD INHIBIT CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT. WE WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS WITH THIS SYSTEM UNTIL THE
FRONT COMES BY THURSDAY NIGHT. MOS GUIDANCE LOOKS REASONABLE AND
WAS GENERALLY ACCEPTED.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LATEST GFS GUIDANCE LINGERS SOME PRECIP INTO FRIDAY MORNING, WHILE
THE WRF DOES NOT. A SLIGHT CHANCE SEEMS PRUDENT DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING. HOWEVER, BY AFTERNOON, THINGS SHOULD BE
IMPROVING. FCST THEN LOOKS DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH AN UPPER
TROF MOVING EWD AND A MORE ZONAL FLOW SETTING UP BY SUNDAY. AT THE
SFC, HIGH PRESSURE IS SITUATED IN THE ATLANTIC BRINGING W TO SW FLOW
OVER THE REGION. THE LATEST MEX BRINGS A HIGH OF 96 FOR SUNDAY.
THIS SEEMS A BIT OVERDONE IN WESTERLY FLOW, AND IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED
THAT TEMPS ARE PROGGED HIGHER FURTHER OUT IN TIME AND DECREASE AS
THINGS GET CLOSER. HOWEVER, HOT AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS THAN WE
HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SEEM LIKELY. MONDAY ALSO LOOKS TO BE DRY
ATTM, BEFORE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FOR TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
THEN BUILDS IN FOR WEDNESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 02Z FOR ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT
THOSE IN NEW JERSEY. THE WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHWARD IS PUTTING OUR

00Z, THE MOST CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY WAS IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
APPROACHING BERKS COUNTY (AND KRDG). THE ACTIVITY IS FORECAST TO
MOVE EASTWARD AND WEAKEN EARLY THIS EVENING, SO A VICINITY REMARK
AND A TEMPO GROUP FOR LOWER CONDITIONS WAS CONTINUED ONLY THROUGH
02Z OR 03Z, EXCEPT 04Z FOR KACY (FURTHEST EAST). THEN, MOSTLY VFR
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST OVERNIGHT, ALTHOUGH A VICINITY REMARK FOR A
SHOWER WAS CONTINUED.
A LEE SIDE TROUGH APPREARS TO SET UP FOR THURSDAY, WITH THE COLD
FRONT MOVING OFF THE COAST FRIDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE
SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND AND

The heavy rain caused flooding of roadways and small streams in southern parts of Northampton County and affected Bethlehem and Lower Saucon Township the most. In Bethlehem, flooding along the Monocacy Creek inundated historical buildings in the Colonial Industrial Quarter. The flooding was exacerbated by debris that accumulated under a nearby bridge which acted like a dam. Four feet of water and mud accumulated in the 1776 Tannery and 1762 Waterworks. Old wooden pieces of Luckenbach Mill were also damaged. The flooding overturned tannery benches and furniture and literally knocked a few doors of their hinges. The water damaged mortar and plaster walls. Chunks of blacktop were also ripped from the parking lot. The event total at Lehigh Valley International Airport was 2.30 inches.
