Lehigh Valley Weather: Fog Lifts, Temperatures Rise to the Low 80s

Morning Fog Dissipates as Temperatures Climb to Around 80°F

A lingering fog will thin out this morning, making way for sunny skies and highs hovering near 80 degrees across the Lehigh Valley.

Early this morning the Lehigh Valley woke up to a blanket of fog that felt like you were driving through a cloud. It was thick enough to make the streetlights look like glowing orbs, but don’t worry—by mid‑day that mist should be lifting, giving way to clearer skies.

As the sun gains its footing, temperatures are set to creep up into the low 80s. It’s that sweet spot where you can finally shed the heavy jacket and maybe think about firing up the grill. Expect the mercury to linger around 78‑82°F through the afternoon, with a gentle southeast breeze keeping things comfortable.

There is a slight chance—about 20%—of an isolated shower or thunderstorm popping up later in the evening, especially over the higher elevations. Nothing that will ruin plans, but keeping an umbrella handy just in case isn’t a bad idea.

Tonight the fog will likely return in pockets, especially near the river valleys, so visibility could dip again after sunset. Temperatures will dip into the mid‑60s, offering a pleasant cool‑down after the warmth of the day.

Looking ahead to the weekend, we’re staring at a mix of sunshine and a few scattered showers. Saturday will be a bit cooler, topping out near 75°F, while Sunday edges back up toward the 80‑degree mark. It’s a good idea to enjoy the outdoors today while the skies stay mostly clear.
