The Wind Advisory wasn't needed after all for today because winds never got stronger than 20 mph. Mainly the winds were out of the north/ northwest around 10-15 mph. But those winds helped to dry the air out and we had a 31 degree temperature difference between our morning low temperature and afternoon high temperature (see unofficial high and low temps below). Temps will continue to be above average for the next few days, as high pressure and continued northerly winds help to warm us up here in the Sacramento Valley. However, it looks like some changes are in store for us by the end of next week and into next weekend. There could be (emphasis on could) a fairly significant cold snap (well, cold for these parts), which could set up some low snow levels for this time of year (maybe 2000 feet?). Plus, there could be a series of storms moving through our area once the colder air is in place. For Chico, that just means some cold rain. For the nearby mountains and foothills, however, there could be some potentially treacherous weather. Check back often for updates, as this is not set in stone. Anyway, for now, here's what the National Weather Service is saying for Chico the next seven days:
