Philadelphia, PA — Coastal areas of Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore face significant weather impacts today, with minor flooding and hazardous rip currents continuing through Friday. The National Weather Service has issued coastal flood advisories and rip current warnings for areas along the shore, particularly affecting beachgoers and coastal residents.
According to the US National Weather Service Mount Holly, low pressure meandering over the western Atlantic will result in light rain and moderate coastal flooding into the weekend. Dangerous rip currents pose a serious risk for swimmers along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches, particularly as temperatures rise to the mid-80s today. Residents should stay informed by following local updates and avoid swimming in areas under rip current advisories.
Friday is expected to bring continued flood risks and similarly warm conditions, with temperatures reaching 81°F. The weekend will cool slightly, with highs of 80°F on Saturday and 75°F on Sunday. Residents in flood-prone areas should prepare for possible disruptions and stay updated on local advisories for both water safety and weather changes.
