Winds are currently light from the northeast but will shift to the southeast and increase to 15 to 25 mph by late this evening. The strongest winds will occur after midnight tonight. Chico is also under a Flood Advisory until 1:45 pm tomorrow for very heavy rain. The National Weather Service is saying rainfall rates may exceed 1 inch per hour (wow!) after 6 pm this evening. It is going to be a nasty 12-24 hours, so be prepared if you have to be out and about. So far today the rain has been light, totaling about .16 of an inch as of 3 pm this afternoon.
