The weather, currently.
Warmest day of the week alert!
This week is like that game you play as a kid where you’re looking for something and you get warmer or colder depending on how close you are. Well, you’re definitely getting warmer on Tuesday so the prize is near. We catapult to 68°F on Election Day which is our warmest day of the week. A mostly cloudy morning becomes a mostly sunny afternoon. The breeze will be noticeable and it becomes gusty in the evening as a cold front crashes through. A chilly night awaits.

What you need to know, currently.
For the first time since August 13, there are no looming hurricane threats in either the Atlantic or the eastern Pacific Oceans. We can declare that this year’s hurricane season is effectively over.
With El Niño in effect and global ocean temperatures at the warmest ever measured, the 2023 hurricane season was busier than usual.
According to data from Colorado State University, Atlantic tropical cyclone activity was 24% above normal, and East Pacific activity was 25% above normal.
Some of the most notable storms: Hurricane Dora was a long-lasting hurricane that trekked much of the way across the Pacific Ocean, fanning winds on Hawaii that rapidly spread wildfires on Maui. Hurricane Hilary made a rare landfall in Southern California. And Hurricane Otis became the strongest landfall in Pacific history in Acapulco, Mexico.
