“Today will be hot, with temps rising into lower 90s along the coast and most valleys making it to 100,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Tonight looks like Santa Barbara might see sundowner winds, warming us up further. No real change for Wednesday and Thursday—above-normal temps with little to no cooling. Friday and into the weekend, we’ll see some cooling, but it will only bring temps back to normal for this time of year.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
