Bucks County weather for Friday, April 12, starts off mild with chances of rain

Clouds and the possibility of rain will linger in Bucks County throughout the day, particularly in the morning hours, on Friday, April 11, leading to a mixed-weather weekend.

If you’re getting ready to head out for the day or just want to know what to expect, here’s a look at the forecast from the National Weather Service.

What’s the weather in Bucks County?

The winds that battered Bucks County and the Delaware Valley overnight Thursday will dissipate some on Friday, but Friday will still be a breezy day, said Ray Martin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Friday's high should reach 62 degrees.

"We will still have showers Friday morning, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms," Martin said. "It should dry up by Friday afternoon into Friday night.

"There will definitely be some wind gusts around 35 mph, but nothing close to the 45 mph gusts like we've had on Thursday," Martin added. "So the winds will not be quite as strong, but there may be some gusts Friday afternoon, and we might see some dead trees fall down, but we are not expecting any widespread damage."

The National Weather service reported overnight winds reached 54 mph in New Hope.
