after rain, dry and mild

Yesterday's high temperature in Chico managed to make it up to 85 degrees, despite the off-and-on clouds and southerly breeze. It'll be a tad cooler today, as morning low clouds give way to partial sunshine later this morning, but more clouds will arrive later this afternoon. Winds from the south will pick up, as well, with speeds of up to 15 to 20 mph by this evening. Rain will begin sometime tomorrow, although I don't think we'll get very much. If we get more than a tenth of an inch, I'll be surprised. The rain will move out as quickly as it arrived, and the sun will return by Monday. Temps stay below average through the upcoming work week- mainly in the low to mid 80s. Here's the detailed day-by-day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Today: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 81. South wind between 3 and 9 mph.
