It was almost summer-like today in Chico as sunny skies and downsloping northwest winds helped to raise the high temperature to 79 degrees. That's just three degrees shy of the record of 82 degrees for this date. A cooling trend begins tomorrow and accelerates on Thursday and Friday as colder air from Canada sinks southward as a series of weak weather disturbances will push through during and after the cold air settles in. Chico will see temps up to 10-15 degrees below average with some cold rainshowers this weekend. Meanwhile, snow levels in the mountains may drop to around 3000 feet or lower. There probably won't be much accumulation as these storms don't have a lot of moisture to work with. It may be an interesting weather event, nonetheless- stay tuned for updates. For now, here's the latest forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
