rainy start to the new year

Well, there wasn't much snow in Chico today, although some colder valley areas did see some snow early this morning. The foothills east of Chico above about 1000 feet saw anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snow. Temps have warmed into the lower 40s in many areas today, and the next storm moving in tonight and lingering tomorrow will bring rain to most lower elevation locations. Once this next storm exits late tomorrow, look for abundant sunshine and milder temperatures for much of the next work week. The next chance for rain won't be until next weekend, and it'll be a slight chance, at that. Here are the details from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: A 50 percent chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38. North northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm.

Sunday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 50. Northwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Sunday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. North wind around 6 mph.

Monday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 53. Northeast wind between 3 and 6 mph.
