Easter looks damp; rain lingers into early week

Happy Easter! You may be able to get in a good Easter egg hunt this morning before the showers move in later. Alas, it looks damp and cool today, with limited sun. I suppose you can still show off your brightly colored Easter dress, but it won't have the same dazzle due to the limited sunshine. It looks like two storm systems will affect our region; one will move in today, and the other, stronger system tomorrow. Hopefully the one tomorrow will be it for several days, as strong high pressure builds in later this week. Look for sunny skies and warm (but not hot) temperatures Tuesday through next Saturday. Nice! Here's the detailed seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
