1. High-level clouds late week
Today
Saturday
NAM model soundings for KSFO, valid 21Z (2:00PM PDT) 09 Sept (left), and 12 Sept (right). Dew-points increase as remnant moisture from Linda impacts California. High relative humidities at SFO near the 500-mb level indicate a higher chance for cloudiness in the mid-troposphere.

2. Very Warm Temperatures Persist, Hurricane Linda Strengthens near Baja
Left: Forecast high temperatures (NOAA) for today at 5:00 PM PDT. Widespread 90s and 100s across the Bay Area and Central Valley, with warmer-than-normal conditions extending to the coast.
