gorgeous weekend weather ahead

Today has been a weird weather day. It started off partly cloudy and fairly mild, then began to cloud over by lunchtime. The winds picked up from the south and isolated thundershowers popped up here and there over Butte County (the county in which Chico is located). Most of the shower activity has moved off to the east now, mainly over the foothills and mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Other than a slight chance of lingering showers this evening, it looks dry through Sunday. Gorgeous weather is predicted this weekend, with sunny skies and high temperatures in Chico in the mid 70s. That's where we should be for mid- April. Enjoy it while it lasts as another trough of low pressure brings rain and cooler temps early next week. Winter does not want to go away! Here's the specific seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Isolated showers and thunderstorms before 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 43. South wind between 7 and 10 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
