WEATHER FORECAST
“High pressure is moving in from Arizona, which will squash the marine layer and warm us all up,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “This weekend, we’re expecting 80s and 90s in Santa Barbara—even the beaches should be in the 80s—and triple digits in the valleys.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
