scorcher

Yesterday was just plain hot in Chico, with very low humidity (11%), warm winds, and a high temperature of 98 degrees. Can you say "scorcher?" It appears today will be similar to yesterday, with a bit less wind. However, a cool front is on the way which will drop the temperatures a good 20 degrees from where we've seen them lately. As is typical this time of year, the cool air won't last, but the warm temperatures replacing the cool air won't be that bad- in fact, after today, there won't be any temps in the 90s for awhile. My prediction of a relatively cool summer holds- for now. Here's the seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
