Chico has received .80 of rain since yesterday morning, far from the 2 plus inches originally forecasted, but more heavy rain is possible through tomorrow. In fact, the Flood Advisory that was supposed to expire this afternoon has been extended until 1:45 tomorrow afternoon. One to two inches of rain is expected with this next round of storminess beginning late tonight and lasting through tomorrow night. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until Monday afternoon for the Sierra Nevada above 4500 feet for over two feet of snow. If travelling into the mountains tomorrow, pack a winter survival kit and drive with caution. Rain is predicted to last through Christmas, so keep that umbrella handy for awhile.
