below average temps continue

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. Busy with work and fighting a persistent cold. The weather has been rather uneventful the past few days, with a mix of sun and clouds and highs mainly in the 60s to around 70 degrees. This time of year Chico should be in the mid to upper 70s for high temps. Looking at the seven day forecast, it appears we won't reach at or above average until Wednesday, and that's only briefly. In addition, rain and showers linger in the forecast from today through Monday. When will we finally see persistent spring weather? Perhaps next week, when a ridge of strong high pressure anchors itself over the West Coast. Until then, we'll have to deal with below average temps and off-and-on showers. Here's the updated Chico forecast from the National Weather Service:

Today: A 20 percent chance of showers after 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 65. Southeast wind between 6 and 8 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Tonight: A 30 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 49. East southeast wind 6 to 8 mph becoming north northeast. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Sunday: A 40 percent chance of rain, mainly after 11am. Partly sunny, with a high near 69. East northeast wind 7 to 13 mph becoming south southeast. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Sunday Night: A 30 percent chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 50. Southeast wind between 9 and 13 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Monday: A 40 percent chance of rain. Partly sunny, with a high near 67. South southeast wind between 10 and 18 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
