Hurricane Erin moves away from U.S. as Philadelphia region will be gorgeous Friday. Here's the forecast.
Friday will bring beautiful weather to the Philadelphia region, which will continue into this weekend — for many, the last before school starts.
Temperatures on Friday will climb to the low to mid-80s after a cool, crisp start to the day.
The weekend will feature more of the same with sunshine both days, cool mornings and warm afternoons. Sunday will be a touch more humid with a chance of spotty showers in the afternoon or evening.
Erin continues to move away as a Category 1 hurricane, but the impacts will be minimal to our area Friday.
The biggest threat will be the ongoing rough surf and potential for dangerous rip currents through the weekend, especially as the forecast improves and people flock to the coast.
Follow all posted signage if you choose to go into the ocean.
We are also monitoring a tropical wave in the Atlantic that has a 90% chance of becoming Fernand in the next week. Most models send this storm toward Bermuda. We will keep you posted.
