Re: tying the porch roof into the main house... I'll add I'd also go with 5/8 CDX ply for the roof sheathing. That added 1/8 goes a long way to resist uplift , and as you know wind in your area is a BIG issue.
Although a porch roof's overhang gives a house an ornamental touch, the overhang isn't just decorative; it helps to keep rain and sun off the porch and protects the structure of the building from damage. It performs an important function, but it's a relatively simple part of the structure in terms of its framing.
