WEATHER FORECAST
“More warmth today as we heat up another 2 to 4 degrees,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Thursday will be the hottest day of the week—most coastal areas will see 90s, and some valley areas will likely break the 100-degree mark. On Friday, we begin to cool off. This will seem like a big drop of 10 degrees, but think about the numbers—it will still be hot. The weekend looks to continue cooling, with fog in the morning, but temps should still remain above normal.” Email [email protected] to receive his daily updates.

PHOTO SAFARI
Santa Barbara is a city of wondrous trees, but for sheer personality, you can’t beat the trees along Cabrillo Boulevard. Gnarled by wind and time, they look sculptural, like gigantic bonsai.
