WEATHER FORECAST
“High pressure building in from Arizona over us will keep us warm today,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Tomorrow, the low-pressure system parked offshore finally moves toward us, bringing the marine layer and a slight chance of rain to LA areas. For us, the main effect will be cooler days and sundowner winds at night, both Thursday and Friday. The weekend looks to be nice with some wind and north-to-south flow. Next week, we’re looking at a warm up.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
