The weather, currently.
Partly cloudy and muggy with a few showers possible
Well, we lived through the first heatwave of 2023 last week. This week looks to be a bit cooler but the humidity hangs on for a few more days. We’ll have plenty of showers in the area, too. Monday will be muggy with partly cloudy skies. A shower or thunderstorm is possible throughout the day so grab an umbrella before you head out, just in case. Expect a high of 82°F and a low of 69°F. Sending extra love to all New Yorkers today.
Bike Forecast:

What you need to know, currently.
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.
