News 12 Storm Watch Meteorologist Addison Green says the dry and sunny weather conditions will last through Labor Day - and so will the rough surf.
There is a RIP CURRENT STATEMENT issued for NYC and tristate area ocean-facing beaches due to the swells and rough surf arriving at our shores from the distant storms. This is expected to continue through the weekend.

POST-TROPICAL STORM IDALIA is moving just south of Bermuda over the weekend. It will turn north, but we see signs of the storm turning back toward the east coast sometime early next week. As the system lingers in the Western Atlantic Ocean, our area will deal with the swells from this storm that will continue to batter the beaches with elevated surf and high risk for the development of rip currents.
