Monday, the holiday is the best of the three-day 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.<\/p>\n

Rainfall totals through the Memorial Day Weekend will range from 1-3″ which, while not what many had hoped for the holiday weekend, will certainly prove to be beneficial given the ongoing drought.<\/p>\n

High rip current risk at Jersey Shore, Delaware beaches<\/p>\n

If you are braving the weather and headed down the Shore anyway, beware of rip currents<\/a>. There is a high\u00a0risk of rip currents at the beaches in both New Jersey and Delaware this weekend. Swimming can be dangerous, especially if unsupervised.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0<\/p>\n
