Weather forecast from Jack Martin of Action Roofing: “Showers should begin to taper off this morning, but there will still be hit-and-miss rain, and the afternoon brings a chance of thunderstorms. On Wednesday, mountain areas will see numerous showers wrapping into coastal areas. Thursday, it looks like we start to clear out—but depending on what model you use, showers are still possible. Friday will be dry with highs in the mid 60s with sunshine. For the weekend, it looks like we’ll see a five degree jump in temperature, which might bring highs close to 70.” Email [email protected] to sign up for his daily updates.
