Partly cloudy, cooler than average Labor Day in Philadelphia region. Here's the weather forecast.
Happy Labor Day and happy first day of meteorological fall!
We kick off this first day of September with great conditions across the entire Philadelphia region. Temperatures started in the 50s and low 60s under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. As we celebrate Labor Day, any early cloud cover will clear out to leave mostly sunny skies for the remainder of our holiday.
Temperatures on Monday will be a little warmer than Saturday and Sunday, but still cooler than normal, with highs right around 80 degrees. It'll be cooler closer to the shore with an easterly wind keeping temperatures in the low-middle 70s.
Speaking of the shore, the northeasterly winds will get up to around 15 mph this afternoon, which will create a Moderate Risk for dangerous rip currents. Remember to always swim near a lifeguard and be mindful of the risk of rip currents. Water temperatures are near 70 degrees.
The great weather will continue through the middle of the week with low temperatures near 60 degrees and highs near 80 degrees.
By Thursday, a cold front looks to approach from the northwest, bringing with it a chance for a few showers. The models have started to slow the arrival of this front, which looks to keep most of the day dry Thursday, including for the Eagles' season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Right now, there is a very small chance of rain into Thursday night, with a better chance for scattered showers into Friday.
There will remain a small chance for an isolated shower into Saturday, but the weekend should be mostly dry with high temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees.
