storm? what storm?

The National Weather Service has completely removed their Special Weather Statement from its website for the northern Sacramento valley. The statement read for the last several days that a major spring/ winter storm was going to affect Chico and the surrounding area. Well, not so much now. There will be showers and some breezy conditions, but not as much precipitation as earlier expected. Maybe the weather in this part of the world really IS difficult to forecast. It's still predicted to be chilly (well, chilly for us, anyway- Minneapolis would LOVE this forecast)for the middle of the week. However, just like this past weekend (yesterday's high in Chico was a very warm 82 degrees- the warmest day this calendar year so far), high temps will be back in the 70s and maybe even the 80s. Here are the details for Chico from the NWS:

Today: Increasing clouds, with a high near 76. Calm wind becoming south southeast between 12 and 15 mph. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph.

Tonight: A 50 percent chance of rain after 11pm. Cloudy, with a low around 50. South wind between 14 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph.
