WEATHER FORECAST
“It looks like today and Tuesday will bring us the same weather we have seen for the past week,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Wednesday a warm-up will begin, and Thursday though the weekend, temps will climb to above normal. This should make for a nice weekend to enjoy the beach. August has been quite cool for the most part—as a matter of fact, the entire summer has been cooler.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
