Labor Day Weekend Weather Forecast

The highly diminished remnants of Hurricane Harvey will bring showers and rain to the Philadelphia area on Saturday.  Currently the GFS are only showing about 0.20 inches of rain for the daytime on Saturday, but the NAM shows considerably higher amounts during the mid afternoon.  (Heavier rain is expected further south into Delaware during the day on Saturday.)  High only 67.

The latest models have decreased the rain QPF  for  Saturday night.

For Sunday, skies clear slowly with some sun and clouds although the models still show a chance of a sprinkle late afternoon.  High 77.

Monday will be very nice with sunny skies. High 82

Of interest is a new hurricane, IRMA, which may pose a threat to the New Jersey Shore sometime during or likely after next weekend. (Sept 11 timeframe.)   Way too early to be sure about anything with this storm.  The models have changed many times over the past few days regarding the timing.  It does look like IRMA will be a major hurricane.
