update on the latest storm

The Wind Advisory is now in effect beginning at 5 am tomorrow morning (Wednesday) and will end at 5 pm tomorrow. Gusty winds to 40 mph are possible with this storm, as well as heavy rains. A Flood Watch has also been posted for Chico and the surrounding area from 7 pm this evening through Thursday night. The National Weather Service is stating the second storm, which will arrive on Thursday, will be stronger than the storm affecting us tomorrow. Expect more heavy rain (possibly exceeding an inch for both storms) and more gusty winds possibly exceeding 40 mph on Thursday. The ground is still saturated, and many trees were weakened from last weekend's storm. Power outages are again possible as a result with these next two storms. Showers will linger through the weekend, but we may see some sun (fingers crossed) for next week. Temperatures, which should be in the mid 60s for highs this time of year, will be stuck in the lower to mid 50s for the next seven days. Lows will be generally in the 40s. Winter does not seem to want to go away!
