The dry but foggy days of the past several days will come to an end this weekend as a moderately strong storm moves into our area from the Pacific. Three to six inches of snow are possible above 4000' in the Sierras, while a quarter to a half an inch of rain is possible in the lower elevations of the foothills and the valley floor (that includes Chico). It was a gray day for most of the first half of the day today in Chico, with the fog thick before sunrise- only a quarter of a mile in some areas. The fog lifted right around 1 pm this afternoon to allow hazy, filtered sunshine to beam down. Fog will return overnight tonight and we'll have one more decent day tomorrow before the rain invades. Here are the details from the National Weather Service:
