spring-like weather on the way

For those of you who are sick and tired of the rain and chilly temperatures, hold on. By this weekend, the sun and mild air return, with expected highs in the mid 60s. The National Weather Service is known for its conservative forecasts, though, so I'm going to be bold and say highs may reach 70 degrees by Sunday and Monday. That's right- 70 degrees! That'll really get the flowers and trees blooming! In the near- term, however, we have to get through two more days of soggy weather. It looks like two storms will affect the area- one tomorrow, and the other on Friday. After that, it looks like there will be an extended stretch of dry weather. How nice! Here's the detailed forecast for Chico from the NWS:

Tonight: A 20 percent chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 44. East southeast wind around 7 mph.

Thursday: Rain likely, mainly after 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 57. Southeast wind between 5 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
