Some areas topped two inches of rain.
Friday's rainfall rose to a record-breaking level, at least for the date.
The Lehigh Valley International Airport -- the official measuring station for the National Weather Service -- recorded 1.43 inches of rain in the 24-hour period that started at midnight Thursday.
That tops previous March 31 record of 1.22 inches set in 1980, said weather service meteorologist Valerie Meola.
Over the entirety of the rain, the airport logged 1.73 inches. Weather service spotter reports from elsewhere in the region had topped 2 inches, according to data released late Friday:
LEHIGH COUNTY
Allentown: 2.29 inches as of 9 p.m.
Heidelberg Twp.: 1.30 inches as of 4:30 p.m.
NORTHAMPTON COUNTY
Walnutport: 1.9 inches as of 9:35 p.m.
WARREN COUNTY
Riegelsville: 1.69 inches as of 5:30 p.m.
HUNTERDON COUNTY
Readington Twp.: 1.77 inches as of 8 p.m.
Clinton: 1.66 inches as of 9:35 p.m.
The heaviest rain was to the east where parts of Monmouth and Ocean counties in New Jersey saw more than 3 inches of rain, Meola said.
Rivers in the Lehigh Valley were up Saturday morning but looked as if they had crested and would stay safely below flood levels. The rain and snow melt did add a couple of feet to the major waterways, though: More than 2.5 feet to both the Delaware at Easton and the Lehigh at Bethlehem.
Any remaining rain will taper off by the afternoon, though clouds will remain with highs around 50, according to the weather service forecast.
Sunday, with sun and highs in the upper 50s, "might be one of the best days of the week," Meola said.
April showers are expected to return Monday and possibly again Thursday or Friday.
