I figured Chico would not go two weeks without seeing some rain. There is a small chance of rain or showers over the next seven days, but it IS a chance. No big storms on the horizon (much to my disappointment), and there will be some dry days as well. The complete seven day forecast for Chico is below. Speaking of storms, today is the two year anniversary of the last really big storm to hit Chico and Northern California. I remember it well. The winds began to pick up late in the evening on January 4th, 2008, and by sunrise on the 5th, winds were gusting to over 60 mph. There wasn't a tremendous amount of rain with that storm, but a lot of strong winds. The power was out in many areas of Butte County for five days! It was exciting! I'm still eagerly anticipating the next storm that will rival that one. It may be twenty years before it arrives. Here is the aforementioned NWS forecast:
Tonight: A chance of sprinkles after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 44. Light and variable wind.
Wednesday: A chance for sprinkles, then a chance of rain after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 51. Calm wind becoming west northwest around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
