It was a beautiful, warm day in Chico yesterday. I took these pics on my back porch facing west towards the Coast Range mountains on the west side of the Sacramento Valley. It was so warm, in fact, that Chico missed its record high temp for the date by just one degree! The high yesterday was 74 degrees; the record for January 22 is 75 degrees. Today has been much cooler, thanks to some haze and morning fog that has been slow to burn off. The current temperature (and high so far today) is 60 degrees. It should be warmer than average for much of this upcoming week as high pressure dominates our weather. Also expect dry conditions, as there are no storms on the horizon for the next seven to ten days. Here is the detailed forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
