WEATHER FORECAST
“The low-pressure system pushing east will create more wind for us today, and temps will continue to rise,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Tomorrow will be warmer, with weak offshore flow, and expect nice weather, with some marine layer, Friday and Saturday. The good news is summer weather will return on Sunday—and temps should be well above normal all of next week.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
