Gorgeous weekend weather arrives after one of hottest Julys on record. Here's the weather forecast.

Pleasant temperatures around Philadelphia region this weekend, but watch out for rip currents

Our first weekend of August is nothing short of spectacular! Plenty of sun and a few afternoon clouds. 

Mornings will feel a little chilly in the 50s and 60s with below normal daytime highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Perhaps the best part of our weather is the low humidity.

There is a high risk of rip currents at the Jersey Shore, however, so make sure to follow these tips if you'll be in the ocean this weekend.

As high pressure takes hold over the region, skies will be sunny to start the week, and temperatures will be a bit more seasonable in the upper 80s.

By Wednesday, clouds increase, and there is a chance of showers on Thursday.

Enjoy this incredible weather while you can because next weekend, the hot and humid conditions return.
