Not as hot, but still nice for the weekend

After two 80-degree days at Sea-Tac, we're cooling down today with a weak system that is bringing a little light rain to the north, the coast and the Cascades.  This afternoon we'll see some clearing and top out in the low 70s.  That's still 4-5 degrees above normal.  The weekend and beginning of next week, it looks pleasant -- morning clouds, afternoon sun, highs near 70.  Clouds thicken up on Tuesday and we could get some showers Wednesday and Thursday.
