WEATHER FORECAST
“Today will be another hot day, but the high pressure sitting over us will begin to move east, lowering temps a degree or two,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Monday we will start a cool down for the week. Onshore flow returns Tuesday with cooling for all. A new wrinkle in the forecast is a sundowner northeast wind Monday night. If this occurs, the Montecito hills will remain quite warm. The rest of the workweek should be comfortable, with highs at normal or slightly below.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
