Happy Veterans Day

Being a fellow veteran myself, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of those who have served to make our country, and the world, safe. Thank you for your service. Today in Chico has been beautiful weather-wise, with wall-to-wall sunshine and temps in the mid-60s. Gorgeous! This streak of wonderful weather will continue for the next seven days as high pressure remains large and in charge. Northerly winds this weekend will push temps into the mid-70s, about ten degrees above average for this time of year. It'll feel more like April than November. With the barrage of holiday-themed advertisements the past couple of weeks, it's been difficult for me to get into the holiday spirit with all of this nice, spring-like weather! However, the early mornings have been chilly! This morning's low in Chico was 35 degrees! That's not unusual when we have very dry air at the surface. We get this huge temperature diurnal where we start out quite cold and end the day with mild high temperatures. Here's the detailed seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
