Fall official begins Sunday at 8:43 a.m.
A sure sign of fall’s arrival is the shorter hours of daylight beginning with Saturday’s sunset at 6:59 p.m. That’s the first sunset before 7 p.m. since March 6.
By the end of daylight saving time on Nov. 3, the sun will set at 4:56 p.m. and on the first day of winter, Dec. 21 our sunset is at 4:40 p.m.
Expect clouds overnight, with a few showers and sprinkles, followed by sunshine for the afternoon. There could be a bit of fog in the Lehigh Valley early on. Highs will be in the low to mid-70s.
Coastal flooding will be a concern through this evening with 1-2′ of moderate flooding possible along the shore points and back bays. A coastal flood warning has been issued through 5 p.m. Sunday, followed by a coastal flood advisory through Monday.
Next week will remain very fall like in the low 70s and even upper 60s at times. Skies turn cloudy on Tuesday and much needed rain returns Wednesday and Thursday. Any rain is welcome at this point since we are near 2.4 inches below normal for September with only a paltry 0.4″ of rain this month.
