By Friday, high pressure builds in, bringing sunshine and much lower humidity. Dew points will dip into the 50s, making it feel more like early fall than late August. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 70s to low 80s, followed by a crisp night with lows in the 50s and low 60s.

Increased surf and dangerous rip currents are expected to continue along the eastern seaboard as Hurricane Erin moves into the North Atlantic.
