Weather forecast from Jack Martin of Action Roofing: “Today will be another great day, a carbon copy of yesterday. On Thursday, the fog returns as a low-pressure system drops 400 miles west of Point Conception; this will bring back the marine layer. Friday, this low moves toward us, a weak system with rain chances producing 1/4 inch or less. (More to come later….) The weekend looks to be nice, with warming conditions. To start next week, we could see another weak system upon us—rain is possible, but still on the lighter side..” Email [email protected] to sign up for his daily updates.
