NEW YORK (PIX11) -- City beaches will reopen Saturday, NYC Parks announced on Friday.

Dangerous rip currents and high waves from Hurricane Erin forced beaches across New York City to close for a couple of days.

With inclement weather and dangerous swimming conditions behind us, the sun is set to return this weekend, bringing daily temperatures back into the 80s.

NYC Parks reminds swimmers to only swim in areas where lifeguards are present.
