Currently in San Francisco — September 11, 2023: A warm Monday after the fog burns off
Plus, we've reached the annual peak of hurricane season in the Atlantic.

The weather, currently.
Monday morning fog will burn off as the sun emerges
Monday will be a warm one for San Francisco, with highs in the low- to mid-70s by midday. But the morning will see overnight fog lingering, giving the day a mild start before the sun emerges. Winds will stay reasonably strong, with gusts continuing at up to 20mph. Clouds will move back in again late with nighttime lows in the mid-50s.
It looks like Monday will be the warmest day this week so if you can, get out there and enjoy it.

Sunday September 10th is the historical peak of hurricane season in the Atlantic.
This season is definitely peaking right on schedule.
Over the weekend, Hurricane Lee peaked at Category 5 — the strongest hurricane of 2023 so far — and continues on a course to potentially make landfall in Atlantic Canada or New England this weekend. That’s still at least 5 days away though, and the forecast has a lot of uncertainty baked in between now and then.
Today is the peak of hurricane season. Even though we're halfway through hurricane season, still a good idea to keep your eyes on the tropics and stay weather aware. Hurricane season officially ends Nov. 30.

Elsewhere, Atlantic Ocean temperatures are still at record levels for mid-September, and as many as 10 additional named storms could still form between now and when hurricane season officially ends on November 30.
