On Monday, clouds increase from south to north as a coastal low begins to develop off the Carolinas. Most areas remain dry during the day, but onshore flow keeps highs cooler near the coast, mainly 70s there, while inland spots are set to reach the upper 70s to low 80s. Humidity levels climb slightly, making it feel more summerlike again.
Unsettled weather takes over Monday night through Wednesday as the offshore low drifts north. Clouds and periods of showers will affect the region, especially across southern Delaware and southern New Jersey, where rainfall could be heavier. Winds will also increase along the coast with gusts near 30 mph Tuesday into Wednesday. By late Thursday, the system moves away, leading into a drier, cooler stretch for the end of the week and the weekend.
This weekend is the last weekend of the summer. Fall officially begins at 2:19 p.m. on Sept. 22.
