Hurricane Erin continues its track AWAY from the United States and the weather conditions in the Philadelphia region will improve considerably.
Friday and Saturday look to be picture-perfect days with low humidity, comfortable temps and tons of sunshine.
The rip current risk will likely remain high for another day or two, but the surf will begin to die down a bit over the coming days.

Despite the gorgeous weather, stay cautious near the water over the weekend. Flooding will also be possible during the high tides while the surf is high.
Compared to where we could potentially be in late August, Sunday is looking great, but it will be a bit more humid. It will have a few additional clouds and will bring a chance of a stray shower or two, mainly later in the day and into the evening. That trend will roll into Monday as well, but after that, we dry out and remain in a relatively cool pattern.

The tropics are heating up, though, with many areas of interest from the National Hurricane Center. No individual storm is posing a threat right now, but it’s the time of year when things really start to ramp up.
