Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Comfortable summer weather will continue across the Delaware Valley through the weekend, bringing sunshine, low humidity and seasonable temperatures, while beachgoers along the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches should remain cautious because of a continued rip current risk.
According to the National Weather Service in Philadelphia/Mount Holly, Friday will feature highs ranging from 76 to 85 degrees with sunshine gradually giving way to increasing high clouds. Humidity will remain low, and an onshore breeze will be strongest along the coast, helping keep beach communities cooler than inland locations.
Saturday brings another mostly sunny and pleasant day with highs again reaching 76 to 85 degrees. Communities including Philadelphia, Trenton, Wilmington, Reading, Allentown and Atlantic City can expect favorable conditions for outdoor events, travel and recreation.
By Sunday, temperatures warm slightly with afternoon highs climbing to 78 to 88 degrees under mostly sunny skies. While humidity remains relatively comfortable, the warmer temperatures will make it feel more like midsummer across southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and northern Delaware.
Beach visitors should be aware that a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents remains in effect through Saturday for the New Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches. Even experienced swimmers can be caught in strong currents. Swim near a lifeguard, obey posted beach flags and avoid entering the water if conditions become hazardous.
The dry weather pattern is expected to hold through the weekend, with the National Weather Service continuing to monitor coastal conditions and issuing additional statements if beach hazards or the weather pattern changes.
