some much needed dry time

After nearly two weeks of non-stop rainy weather, today was a nice change. It was a little blustery, with north winds from 15 to 25 mph. The sun was out, however, and the visibility was excellent. I had some business to tend to in Oroville today, and the drive to and from Chico was lovely, with the snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountains and the green valley grass stretching out before me. It looks like the dry pattern will hold until Saturday, when a weak disturbance will give us a chance of a shower. Otherwise, expect dry, sunny weather with high temperatures at or above normal. In fact, Thursday will be exceptionally warm, with highs a good 15 degrees above average- in the mid 80s! We go from winter to summer in four days! This warmth will be short-lived, as more seasonable temps arrive for the weekend. Here are the details from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 46. North northwest wind between 3 and 6 mph.

Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 66. Calm wind becoming south southwest around 5 mph.
