And Santa Monica…
Something unique is about to happen in our fair city. It’s positively rare for us to have an occurrence like this. It will be fresh, it will be different, and it would be totally unexpected if I didn’t happen to be warning you about it right now. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, our very own Santa Monica is expecting rain showers late Friday! And I am not talking about a measly ten or twenty percent chance of rain. I am talking about an entirely likely and utterly whopping sixty percent chance of rain! I know you don’t own rain gear. You live in Santa Monica, after all. So act fast: get out there and buy rain boots, umbrellas, and ponchos! Granted, you won’t need your new rain gear for long, as the rain will most likely be gone by Saturday and won’t come again until January, but at least you can impress your colleagues and friends by being prepared. Once the rain has departed and the sun returns for good, you might forget that Santa Monica had this little surprise. But when your yard looks extra lush and happy, we’ll have this unexpected visitor to thank.

Oh, and as for all the other days of the week besides our one rainy Friday: clear, warm, sunny, blah blah blah.
