Live at the Limerick Police department, john rawlins, channel6 action news. Jim. Thank you, john. So, autumn is now two hours old but dont bring out the sweaters just yet because were actually looking at the possibility of record heat. Lets go live to meteorologist cecily tynan and some unseasonably warm weather. Cecily. Thats exactly right. Keep the shorts on hand because youll want to wear them over the weekend and early next week. Right now its pretty comfortable out there. Philadelphia 81 degrees down from our high of 83 which is 7 degrees above normal. Allentown and reading, 80 cape may a little bit cooler, 75 and wilmington 78 degrees. We have dewpoints in the 50s so its not all that muggy but the humidity and the temperatures will really be rising over the weekend. If you look out to the west, chicago, saint louis omaha wichita memphis dallas all in the 90s and that air mass will be gradually moving our way as we head through the weekend. In addition to that, weve got the remnants of jose spinning off the eastern seaboard so that means if you are going to the jersey beaches, the delaware beaches, the jersey shore, rip currents will be a problem but the next four days we have this strong ridge of High Pressure. So, what this means, summer hangs tough. Temperatures running about 10 to 15 degrees above average. Definitely on the warm side. And your evening planner showing this friday night, youre heading out really dont need a jacket. Temperatures just gradually dropping down into the low 70s by 11 oclock. Ill talk about that record warmth on the way, also have the latest on Hurricane Maria in the accuweather 7day forecast. Jim. Thank you, cecily. Dont let the hot weather lull you into thinking that the surf is going to be calm at the jersey shore. There is a high risk of rip currents and it may stay that way for awhile. Action News Reporter bob brooks is live in Atlantic City tonight. Bob, whats the story on this . Reporter well, jim, the story is that it might look absolutely beautiful out and it is but theres still a lot of danger in the water as cecily was talking about. Jose is still out there swirling around whats left of it and really causing some currents underneath. Let me show you behind me the beach its amazing. The water its sort of deceiving right now in that its amazing but those currents are still under there. You cant see them and they are dangerous. Its been a busy last few days for beach patrol down at the shore. Last weekend we had little under 30 for the weekend. This week there have been yesterday we had six. Reporter hurricane hose say brought in surf big enough to erode portions of North Wildwood beach. Second through fifth street beach access is closed there. Though the waves today wont wash away the dunes, its what lies beneath the water thats dangerous. Extremely strong rip currents. Theyre lingering effects of jose still at sea swirling around. The water is very dangerous right now. You have to know what youre doing. You shouldnt go past your knees in this kind of water. Reporter for a grown man the rough current is a a lot of fun today if you dont have to like body surf. You can lay in it and let it throw you. It will throw i was gun 20, 30 yards. Reporter if you go out in rough conditions and wind up needing to be rescued youre not only putting your life in jeopardy but the lives of men and women who come out to save you. On sunday a lifeguard was injured when they had to go on the rocks and make a rescue. Took one dive and got sucked right out. The son ended up on the rock pile in bad shape. One of our guys got him and the father actually floated out to sea. Right now not a lot of beaches have guards on duty because were out of season but ones like Atlantic City do and thats where you should swim. If were on duty swim in front of us. Reporter well it doesnt get any more clearer than that. Over the weekend lifeguards say the surf is going to get rough and the waves bigger, the rip currents underneath stronger so please keep that in mind when heading out.

Tomorrow lots of sunshine, bright, the humidity still in check tomorrow with dewpoints in the 50s. 88 degrees on. On sunday not only does it get hotter up to 91 degrees, it also gets humid.

Something ill continue to watch. So, my weather computer is locked up. Lets bring up the accuweather 7day forecast full and tomorrow it will be warm, mostly sunny with a high of 88 degrees.
