Ian Remnants To Hit PA This Weekend: See When, Where

PENNSYLVANIA - Get your umbrellas ready, Pennsylvania: this weekend will be a wet one, thanks to Hurricane Ian, as heavy rainfall and fierce wind gusts of up to 30 mph are in the cards.

While the heaviest rain should be seen Friday night into Saturday morning, Ian remnants are slated to linger through Sunday in the form of light rain. While areas like Philadelphia should see up to around 2 inches of rain, other parts of the state like Allentown (up to 1.5 inches) and Mount Pocono (up to 1 inch) should see lesser amounts.

For those with plans to travel down the shore into New Jersey this weekend, bad news: Monmouth, Atlantic, Cape May and Ocean counties have been issued rip current statements as rough surf and thunderstorms threaten to slam the Garden State on Saturday.

"Areas from northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia to coastal Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey will be subject to stiff easterly winds that will lead to above-normal tides, beach erosion and coastal flooding from Friday through Sunday," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Joe Lundberg said.

The weekend's temperatures are also set to hover around the 70-degree mark, per the National Weather Service.

High pressure over the New England area moving to low pressure associated with Ian is set to create fierce winds that will push waves from the Atlantic Ocean towards the coast, paving the way for rough surf, beach erosion and high tide flooding.

"To potentially make matters worse, there is a chance that Ian finds a way to reach the mid-Atlantic coast and strengthen again, or perhaps a second new storm forms along the mid-Atlantic coast early next week, which would continue onshore winds and drenching rains with flooding and beach erosion problems for additional days," Lundberg said.

Here’s the latest forecast, per the National Weather Service:
