calmer but colder

This latest storm brought Chico an inch and a quarter of rain, along with winds gusting to over 30 mph late last evening. Today has been mainly sunny, with brisk northwest winds gusting to 35 mph. It's forecast to get colder over the next few days as a piece of Arctic air plunges down from western Canada. High temps will be mainly in the 40s with lows in the 30s. Bundle up if you're heading out for New Year's celebrations on Friday night; temps will be in the lower to mid 30s. Temps should warm back to normal levels by Sunday. Other than a slight chance of rain this weekend, it'll be mainly dry over the next several days- a much- deserved break from all the storminess! Here's the detailed forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31. North northwest wind between 8 and 14 mph.
