wow! what a beautiful day

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 23:39:00 GMT

Man, it has been positively stupendous (I'm beginning to run out of good adjectives) weather today! The high temperature in Chico was a pleasant 69 degrees (which is only a couple of degrees above average) under wall-to-wall sunshine. Other than a few puffy clouds over the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Ranges, it was nothing but blue skies. The icing on the cake are the beautiful golds, oranges and reds of the fall colors, which are at their peak right now. This is, t...

cloudy and dreary

It has been rather overcast today, but Chico has not seen a drop of rain so far with this system. Most of the light rain showers have occurred in the foothills east of town. I guess there's just enough moisture and instability at slightly higher elevations to produce showers, whereas lower elevations (such as Chico) there isn't. Temperatures have been cool, mainly in the 60s. I tell you what, the fall colors in Chico are truly spectacular! In my humble opinion, they...

It looks like this weather system moving in over the next 24-36 hours won't be very potent (at least here in Northern California), but it will bring significantly cooler temperatures. Temps will be 10-20 degrees cooler the next few days as compared to the last few days. For example, yesterday's high temp in Chico was 81 degrees; by Saturday, the high is expected to be 62. Temps will moderate some by early next week, along with a chance for more showers as another we...

wet weather for this weekend?

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:07:00 GMT

It looks like it. A low pressure system will move into Northern California from the Pacific on Thursday, bringing clouds, showers and cooler weather. This low will persist through Saturday, bringing possibly a half an inch of rain to Chico. The snow level will initially be high- 6000-7000 feet- but will lower by late Friday as cooler air moves in. We may be able to salvage some good weather for the second half of the weekend, though. It will remain at or below norma...
