New Jersey Father's Day Weekend Forecast

Looks like this could be a great weekend with dad. Just be careful if you go swimming.

More nice weather will extend through Father's Day weekend for all of New Jersey, even as a strong storm develops off-shore and could cause rip currents along the Jersey Shore.

The National Weather Service says we should have sunny skies throughout the weekend, with highs around 79 degrees and little to no wind.

The National Weather Service, however, has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, saying there is a moderate risk of rip currents because of the off-shore storm.

That's storm is not expected to hit us, however. AccuWeather says it's expected to head toward New England.

How long the storm stalls and how much it strengthens, according to AccuWeather, will determine how rough the surf gets and whether rain develops.

Here is a map of the storm:
