WEATHER FORECAST
“Today we should have sunnier skies with less fog and highs in the mid to upper 70s along the coast,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Thursday brings back some fog, with cooler days by a few degrees. Starting Friday, a weak low will affect our weather through the weekend. We’re looking at some drizzle and possibly even light rain. It’ll most definitely be a deep marine layer, keeping the coast cloudy most of the day.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
