West Coast Sunshine!

 West Coast Sunshine! From Baja California to the southern tip of British Columbia, Canada. That's something to celebrate with your sunglasses, short shorts, and sandals... where your toes can feel the warm breeze instead of cold water (unless you dare to step into the lakes, rivers, or seashores.) Tomorrow however spells clouds and cooler temperatures; the chance of morning drizzle is high with a strong onshore push when a low drives in to our north, the chances of rain for the rest of the day is less than 50 percent since the systems center will be hundreds of miles north of the Central Sound.  Bellingham, which is closer, will have a better chance for rain. A repeat of Friday is in store for our Independence Day, woot woot Amerrrrica!

Finally congrats to my tennis man Novak Djokovic.  I have been following his game in the early days when he wasn't a well received player because of "arrogance."  I thought he was a young, confident player that is having fun with the game. Check out his hilarious impersonations of Maria Sharapova and Rafael Nadal from the 2007 US Open.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal has dominated the Number 1 spot since February of 2004 on the ATP World Tour. Djokovic cracked the top ten in April 2004 and has been bouncing between the Number 4, 3, and 2 spot since July of 2007.  Tomorrow will be a battle at Wimbledon between the current Number 1, Rafael Nadal, and the future Number 1 player come Monday's new ranking.  Please welcome the new World Number 1 Tennis Player Novak Djokovic.

Weather Update 3:44pm

SeaTac is sitting at 79 degrees F.  It has been 301 days since Seattle (which is actually SeaTac) has reached 80 degrees, which is the 4th longest streak on record, the longest 319 days in 1960.  You can read about that in Scott Sistek's blog.  It might turn out like the uneventful day this year that Seattle ended it's streak of 70less days by hitting 70 degrees for mere minutes!
