Weather forecast from Jack Martin of Action Roofing: “A chance of drizzle or light rain today, but nothing more then a 1/10 of an inch. On Saturday, we start to break out of the low, as it moves east. Sunday, a weak high-pressure system makes for a nice day, allowing temps to recover a few degrees—maybe some 70s again. Another low moves in Sunday night. This one is also weak, but it seems to pack a little more punch. Chances of light rain start up on Monday with 1/4 inch or less. Tuesday and Wednesday look to warm up and will be nicer days.” Email [email protected] to sign up for his daily updates.
