Weekend Winter Storm Watch Includes Saucon Valley
The National Weather Service has issued a watch for Saturday for the possibility of heavy, wet snow.
UPDATE: As of Friday morning at 9am the weather service is advising that 6 to 10 inches of snow are possible, along with power outages that could result when trees that still have leaves on them "become loaded with wet snow and have limbs break off." The winter storm watch remains in effect for Saturday.
