The recent surge of wet weather has been great for ducks, but not necessarily basements or roadways that have experienced flooding.

Over 2 inches of rainfall fell over the area within the past 48 hours, and an ever-so-slight chance of snow could be in the forecast starting this evening into Wednesday.

Valerie Meola, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, shared two observations from the Lehighton area from 7 a.m. Sunday through 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Meola said the first shows that 1.58 inches of rain fell from 7 a.m. Monday through 7 a.m., with an additional 0.91 inches from 7 a.m. Sunday through 7 a.m. Monday.

She said the second shows that 1.44 inches fell from 7 a.m. Monday through 7 a.m., and another 1.29 inches from 7 a.m. Sunday through 7 a.m. Monday.

High water had Mauch Chunk Road in Palmerton closed Monday afternoon, the Palmerton Police Department posted on Facebook.

After a morning of high winds and heavy rain, Mauch Chunk was closed at the intersections of Franklin Avenue and Kline Street.

And while we’re nearing the midway point of April, there is a chance of snow in the area, strange as it may sound.

Meola said tonight there’s about a 40% chance, with some rain moving in just before midnight, along with a chance it could mix with a little bit of snow overnight, with little to no accumulation.

She said there’s a 20% chance Wednesday, with potentially a little bit of accumulation by Thursday morning, though pretty light.

Meola said there’s also a 30% chance of snow showers Friday night into Saturday.

“Just multiple systems moving through the area, which is not unheard of, especially in high elevations,” she said. “It’s been fairly active weather wise across our area, especially as we’ve moved into spring.”

Meola added it’s “been a little bit wetter in some areas.”

“We typically do see periods of rain and gusty winds in higher elevations,” she said. “Temperatures have been above normal for winter into the early part of spring; we’re seeing things cool down for the next several days into the weekend.”

Based on that, Meola said that from now through June, there’s a higher probability of above normal temperatures and precipitation.

“We’ll have to see how the current trends and models hold,” she said.
