chilly!

After a beautiful day yesterday, with highs in the mid 60s, today was drastically different. Highs got stuck in the 50s, with scattered light rain showers. I was up in Paradise today, and at one point the rain was really coming down! Chico barely got a drop a mere 10 miles away. Patchy frost is possible in the valley tonight, as temps dip into the mid 30s. Some light snow is possible down to 2000' as a cold Gulf of Alaska storm dives south and moves through the area this evening. Another storm originating in the Gulf of Alaska will invade our region tomorrow night. This storm has a bit more moisture with it, so accumulating snow in the foothills east of Chico is possible late tomorrow night. A milder, wetter storm looks set to arrive by Friday. However, this weekend looks great! Bundle up the next couple of days- it's gonna be chilly! Here's the forecast for Chico for the next seven days, courtesy of the National Weather Service:
