Sunny, beautiful weather in the Philadelphia region. Rip current risks along Jersey Shore, Delaware beaches
High pressure centered to our northeast will continue to provide plenty of sunshine and comfortable conditions as temperatures Saturday morning start in the upper 50s and low 60s.
By Saturday afternoon, temperatures will return to the mid-80s with highs right around the normal for this time of the year.
Sunday will be very similar to Saturday with mostly sunny skies, but temperatures will just be a couple degrees hotter.
The one thing to keep in mind this weekend is that there is a high risk for dangerous rip currents along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. Persistent winds out of the east over the last couple of days have increased the threat for rip currents with steady 3-4 waves along the coast. Make sure that if you do plan to swim on the beach, you do so where a lifeguard is on duty.
Otherwise, the warmth will continue to build through the first half of next week with high temperatures climbing back into the 90s by Tuesday. The chance of rain, however, looks to remain out of the forecast through Wednesday before a few scattered afternoon showers will become possible into Thursday and Friday.
As of Friday, Philadelphia has gone eight straight days without measurable rain at the Philadelphia International Airport. If rain stays out of the rain bucket through next Wednesday, this stretch of dry weather will end up tying the longest dry stretch so far this year at 13 days. This occurred between April 13 and April 25.
All that to say, enjoy this stretch of nice summer weather that very well could end up being the nicest stretch of weather all summer!
Saturday: Mostly sunny. High 86, Low 61.
Sunday: Sunny. High 88, Low 62.
Monday: Sunny. High 89, Low 64.
Tuesday: Sunny, hot. High 92, Low 67.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy. High 93, Low 72.
Thursday: Isolated shower. High 90, Low 73.
Friday: Stray shower. High 91, Low 73.

Cooler-than-average days ahead as North Texans head back to school
Temperatures this week start out below average across North Texas – the high on Monday is expected to reach 96 degrees, which is one degree below average. So far, 28% of this summer has been cooler than normal and this trend is likely to continue through the week. The upper-level high-pressure system that brought the heat and dry conditions last week is now shifting further to the west, allowing for an upper-level low to impact the region. This means more seasonable temperatures and the chance for rain. A northwesterly flow aloft will promote clusters of storms to form today for the northwestern counties. In addition, sea breeze storms will likely flare up in the afternoon across the southeast. No severe weather is in the forecast as of Monday, but if any strong storm develops, it has the potential of strong winds, lightning and heavy rainfall. More storms are possible in the afternoons for the rest of this work week. Though the highs may be a degree or two below average, the heat index value will reach around 100 to 105 degrees in the afternoon.

Bosnia's mountain resorts pivot to summer tourism as climate changes
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A short drive from the Mediterranean coast, mid-altitude mountain resorts near Sarajevo — traditionally dependent on snow sports — are slowly but steadily pivoting to attract summertime tourists. Despite Bosnia's notoriously poor record-keeping, tourism officials in the mountainous Balkan country of 3.3 million say a clear trend is emerging. 'We used to rely on snow, but there is no escaping the fact that snow is now likely to fall and accumulate at altitudes above 2,500 meters (8,000 feet) and our mountains are simply not that high,' said Haris Fazlagic, the Sarajevo tourism board president. Fazlagic believes that by expanding their summer offerings, mountain resorts can lure tourists away from the scorching heat and high costs of traditional seaside vacations along the Adriatic coast of Croatia and Montenegro. He said increasing the area's year-round appeal is 'the future of tourism,' but acknowledged it's a long-term strategy. In 2017, after several winters with little snow, the Jahorina and Bjelasnica mountains near Sarajevo began to expand their summer offerings. These mountains, which hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics, have elevations of 1,906 meters (6,253 feet) and 2,067 meters (6,781 feet), respectively. They now operate ski lifts year-round for scenic views and are steadily adding new hiking, biking and ATV trails and tours. 'The weather here is fantastic — it's not hot at all,' said Dusko Kurtovic, a visitor from the Bosnian town of Doboj, while on a walk during a short vacation in Jahorina last week. Like other visitors exploring the forest trails and riding ski lifts around Sarajevo, Kurtovic was dressed for balmy summer weather. Temperatures here typically stay between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius (75-86 degrees Fahrenheit). The weather is a welcome change for tourists, as coastal regions in Central and Eastern Europe have experienced increasingly frequent and prolonged heat waves, with daily temperatures often reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in the past few years. Vasilije Knezevic, who leads quad tours of Jahorina's highest peaks, noted that while the ski season was 'bleak' because of the snow shortage, they are 'having a fabulous summer so far.' Business might be growing in the mountains of Sarajevo, but it remains far less profitable than seaside destinations in neighboring Croatia, where tourism accounts for up to 20% of the country's gross domestic product. Just a five-hour drive from Sarajevo, the ancient city of Dubrovnik is grappling with an abundance of tourists. Unlike their Bosnian counterparts who are trying to increase visitors, Dubrovnik's tourism authorities are focused on managing crowds, limiting the number of tourists from cruise ships in the city to 4,000 at any one time during the day and restricting traffic around the Old Town to local permit holders. Despite these restrictions and extreme summer heat, Dubrovnik recorded nearly two million overnight stays in the first seven months of 2025, almost double that of the Sarajevo region. While climate change is driving Bosnia and Croatia toward different tourism strategies, both countries share a common objective: to 'extend the season' and become 'year-round tourist destination,' in the words of Aida Hodzic of the Dubrovnik tourism board. ___ Associated Press writer Sabina Niksic in Sarajevo contributed.
