Nor'easter Will Bring Heavy Rain: Your Tuesday

The good news is that we shouldn’t have much ice or snow to worry about. The bad news is that we are still in for some nasty weather today into Wednesday.

The Nor’easter that everyone has been talking about since last week will hit us by mid-day today, with a possibility of some snowflakes to start. However, by 3 p.m., whatever is falling should all be rain, according to the National Weather Service.

But the bad news, again, is that this rain could be very heavy. We might see an inch or two of rain today and Wednesday, forecasters say. Localized flooding is a possibility.

Here’s what else is going on in Bethlehem today:

• Daytime parent-teacher conferences continue in elementary and middle schools in the Bethlehem Area School District. That means a half-day of class at all schools except Farmersville Elementary.

• Shop this week at Homebase Skateshop in South Bethlehem and help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

• Tonight is your last chance to catch the critically acclaimed 12 Years a Slave at the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas at SteelStacks at 7:15 p.m. Also playing is Dallas Buyers Club on a Tuesday Talkback with Prof. Bob Kilker at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, less for students, seniors and ArtsQuest members.
