>> time to check accuweather. meteorologist adam rows instead of in four cecily. it's going to be spectacular for the holiday. >> i mean, from start to finish, really no complaints here with sunshine, lower humidity. and warm temperatures. as we take a look right now at double scan live radar, a front continues to pass through and we have one lonely thunderstorm in parts of lancaster county. if you're heading west on the pennsylvania turnpike away from berks county, chester county, you will bump into this storm as it's moving to the west of lincoln and south and west of cocalico. brief heavy rain with it. winds gusting to near 40 miles an hour, not severe.

this will continue to drift to the west. eventually fall apart and move out of the viewing area. what a start to september out there. if you liked the heat and humidity, this is the perfect weather for you. also we'll chat about that very gorgeous weekend. that is now beginning. but when we look at the first four days of september, temperatures have been between 93 and 96 degrees. a very rare start to september. in fact, the last time we had started with four consecutive days of 90 or above in september, you have to go back 42 years, so a very hot start to the new month. but as we go into the weekend, it's going to be gorgeous. we're going to kind of kick back those temperatures just a little bit, especially for saturday. and take a look at live on sky6 in atlantic city. all looking pretty good there. little more cloud cover has moved into the shore temporarily right now with with a strong wind coming in off of the ocean. temperatures there in the upper 70's right now and we're quickly falling given we were 93 degrees just a few hours

ago in philadelphia. down to 82 and it's that wind driving out of the northeasterly direction cutting those numbers down and eventually the humidity will follow. in response to it, it's high pressure, that's what's responsible with that northeasterly wind moving that front to the south and west and that high will dominate the forecast this upcoming holiday weekend. really it's a dome of high pressure and under such a massive area of high which is typical in the fall season to start seeing them breaking down from canada. there's a lot of sinking air so you don't get much in the way of clouds to form tow perfection here, saturday, sunday and monday. now the one thing i want you to really watch this weekend if you're at the shore is a moderate maybe even at times tomorrow a high risk for rip currents because of that strong wind coming in off of the ocean. so, make sure you swim where the lifeguards are on duty and don't go in the water once they are relieved of their duties. 77, upper 70's here saturday, sunday, bright and beautiful

despite that wind off the water and gorgeous on labor day 81. in the poconos very pleasant, low humidity and warm on labor day at 82. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, we're back to the 80's, low humidity tomorrow. lots of sun on sunday and labor day. humidity stays low both days with those temperatures jumping back up to 90 by monday. then the humidity gets mixed back in to the equation here on tuesday and wednesday and steamy. 92 degrees, a scattered storm late wednesday. same thing for thursday with temperatures still on the verge of 90 degrees before we get some clouds in here to cool it back down to somewhat more normal levels. >> thank you so much. finally tonight an oscar winning montgomery county native is causing quite the buzz at the jersey shore. bradley cooper has been spotted enjoying a vacation in brigantine. the actor stopped by richman's ice cream and burger bar on wednesday. he went to bob's grille in
