AN UPPER LOW OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA WILL PROVIDE WARM AND MOIST SE FLOW FOR A THREAT OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT INLAND FRIDAY WITH OFFSHORE HIGH PRESSURE BRINGING DEEPENING MARINE STRATUS UP FROM CALIFORNIA. THIS WILL LIKELY PUSH INTO THE VALLEYS FOR MORNING CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecasts/display_special_product_versions.php?sid=pqr&pil=afd

Sarah Outen update: Surfing on a red carpet

A very exciting, record-breaking, and ever so slightly crazy sort of challenge. It involves my small boat, oars and over 3,100 miles of Indian Ocean. In Spring 2009 I will row solo from Western Australia to Mauritius in a bid to become the first woman, and youngest and fastest person, to make the crossing. http://www.sarahouten.co.uk/
