Scattered showers Monday in Philadelphia area, warmer temperatures on the way. Here's the weather forecast.
Fog, mist, and rain will start off Memorial Day, but rain should begin to taper off through the second half of the day. We could even see a few peeks of sun later in the afternoon.
Despite the rainy start, temperatures will still be warmer than the last couple of days with highs in the middle 70s.
NEXT big weather changes
Temperatures bounce back into the low-to-middle-80s with a nice mix of sun and clouds through the middle of the week.
But there will be a small chance for some showers Wednesday.
Next weekend is trending dry, a nice change from our current washout.
High rip current risk at Jersey Shore, Delaware beaches
If you are braving the weather and headed down the Shore anyway, beware of rip currents and follow the directions of lifeguards. There is a high risk of rip currents at the beaches in both New Jersey and Delaware this weekend. Swimming can be dangerous, especially if unsupervised.
Another risk is the chilly water temperature of 55. Hypothermia can set in quickly.
