glorious sun!

Yesterday was absolutely stellar in Chico, with mostly sunny skies and visibilities up to 100 miles. I could swear I saw Mount Shasta, about 100 miles away, on my way home from my internship yesterday afternoon. The Coast Ranges to the west of Chico are blanketed with snow, and they looked spectacular in the sunshine yesterday. The grass in the valley and foothills is a brilliant emerald green, as well. Temperatures also pushed towards 60 degrees in parts of the valley. Today should be similar to yesterday, once we shake off this fog. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the Sacramento Valley from Chico southward until 10am this morning. After that, the sun should return, with highs again reaching towards 60 degrees. A fairly weak storm will move through tomorrow and tomorrow night, but bring your umbrella to work or school, just in case. The weekend, especially Sunday, looks great, if a little on the cool side. There will be just a slight chance of a shower or two early next week. Here's the seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 58. North northeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
