more heat on the way

The past several days weather wise in Chico have been fantastic, with clear skies and temps in the 70s and lower 80s (currently in Chico it's 82 degrees). Enjoy it while it lasts, because triple digit heat will return with a vengeance by early next week. High temperatures will warm each day for the next five days, from the lower 90s tomorrow to around 100 degrees for Monday and Tuesday of next week. Fortunately, the heat doesn't last, as it will cool down (that being a relative term) to the lower 90s by the end of next week. It'll still be above normal, however, as Chico should be right around 87 degrees this time of year. There are also many big events happening in the Chico area this weekend, including Chico Palio, the kick-off event to Artoberfest this Saturday at Downtown Plaza; the Chico Air Show begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday at Chico Municipal Airport, 5 miles north of the city; and the Salmon Festival in Oroville, which includes a Native American ceremony, a street fair, and a farmer's market, all taking place in downtown Oroville and Lake Oroville this Saturday. For other events, check out this week's Chico News and Review via the link to the right or free at many locations around Chico. If you're going to any of these events (many of which are outdoors), dress for the weather and bring plenty of water. Here's the latest forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
