After a cloudy, rainy, damp and frankly miserable Saturday, expect more rain throughout the weekend.
Sunday brings us a soaking morning rain, followed by cloudy and damp conditions in the afternoon. It won’t be as breezy, and skies will remain cloudy as highs hover in the mid-60s.
Monday, aka Memorial Day, is the best of the holiday weekend with mostly cloudy skies, a lower chance of scattered showers and isolated storms. There may be some late afternoon clearing and temperatures will be closer to normal in the mid 70s.

High rip current risk at Jersey Shore, Delaware beaches
If you are braving the weather and headed down the Shore anyway, beware of rip currents. There is a high risk of rip currents at the beaches in both New Jersey and Delaware this weekend. Swimming can be dangerous, especially if unsupervised.
If you are down the shore and headed to the beach, follow the directions of lifeguards. Taking a swim could be dangerous due to a high rip current risk and a chilly water temperature of 55. Hypothermia can set in quickly.
