It appears we will have an off and on wet day today and tomorrow before things dry out in time for trick or treating. Speaking of trick or treating, the Downtown Chico Business Association (DCBA) is hosting a kid-friendly trick or treat event on Sunday afternoon. This is an annual event where youngsters dressed in their Halloween costumes can go from business to business and collect goodies. It's a fun, family-friendly event, and the weather should cooperate for it. However, the weather isn't cooperating with this morning's commute. It is beginning to rain in Chico currently, and should for the next few hours. Looking at the radar, there are some embedded heavier showers in a line of rain that extends from Redding to the Napa Valley. This line is associated with a weak cold front that is slowly moving east. We will see a lull in shower activity this afternoon before the actual low pressure system, now out in the Pacific, moves inland tonight. Winds from the south will increase ahead of this low overnight and into tomorrow. A couple of inches of snow may fall above 6000' in the Sierra Nevada mountains east of Chico between today and late tomorrow. It should be mainly dry on Sunday as the low moves away, and most of next week looks spectacular, with sunny skies and highs in the 60s and 70s. Many of the deciduous trees in Chico are currently transitioning into their fall colors, and next week should be perfect picture-taking weather as the leaves begin to peak. Have a great weekend, everyone! Here's the latest Chico forecast from the National Weather Service:
