Chico received 1.34 inches of rain between yesterday afternoon and this morning. That's a lot of rain! Winds gusted up to 30 mph, as well, so this was a fairly potent storm. It was also a very mild storm, with temps at the time of the rainfall event hovering in the mid 50s. The sun came out late this morning and that pushed temps into the lower 60s by this afternoon. We have another fairly potent storm winding up in the Pacific, and that will affect our weather by the middle of the week. It should be out of here by late in the week, and then the sunshine will return for the weekend. Temps will also warm back up this weekend, with forecast highs expected to be over 10 degrees above normal. It'll feel more like late March than early December. Merry Christmas, indeed.
