Atlantic City, N.J. – Beachgoers in New Jersey and Delaware can expect classic summer weather through Thursday, with highs climbing toward 90°F and only a low risk of dangerous rip currents along the coast. Sunshine dominates early in the week, but increasing heat and humidity will make for sticky afternoons by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, mostly sunny skies and low humidity are set to continue through Tuesday at the Jersey Shore, Cape May, and Rehoboth Beach. Temperatures will rise from the upper 70s and low 80s into the high 80s on Wednesday, as humidity slowly builds. By Thursday, coastal towns from Wildwood to Lewes could see highs approaching 90°F, with noticeably more humid air pushing inland.
Local emergency officials remind swimmers to heed all posted beach warnings and swim near lifeguards, even when the risk of rip currents is low. Visitors are urged to stay hydrated, apply sunscreen, and seek shade during peak afternoon hours. Area highways including the Garden State Parkway and Route 1 may see heavier traffic as families head for the sand.
This hot, mostly rain-free pattern is expected to last through Thursday night. The National Weather Service advises that higher heat and humidity may develop by Friday, with more updates likely as the week continues.
