Mostly sunny Tuesday in Philadelphia region, tracking evening showers. Here's the weather forecast.
On Tuesday, the first full day of fall, summer-like conditions return as temperatures turn up even more with highs in the mid-80s.
A cold front, however, approaching from the northwest will start to bring the chance for some scattered showers and storms as we head through Tuesday evening.
In addition to the chance of storms late Tuesday, it'll also be important to be aware of the threat of rip currents and dangerous surf along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches.
Hurricane Gabrielle, while passing more than 800 miles off our shore, will still send swells west to the east coast of the United States. This threat of dangerous rip currents and surf will likely last through Tuesday.
Thursday will likely be the wettest day with heavier rain possible during the afternoon and evening hours. Rumbles of thunder are in the forecast as well.
Gabrielle continues to be a major hurricane with sustained winds of 140 mph, making it a Category 4 storm. It will move east, so no direct landfall impacts, but rough surf will likely continue this week.
