mid- 80s for next week?

First of all, I want to send my thoughts out to the victims of the 100+ tornadoes that spawned from Mississippi northeastward into Virginia last night into early this morning. So far the death toll is nearing 300 people. This is one of the worst tornado outbreaks in this country's history, and my heart goes out to all who have been affected. I know I complain when stormy weather passes me by, and I miss some of the severe weather I experienced growing up in Indiana. However, I also would never wish this upon anyone. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the tornado victims. Closer to home, it has been calm and downright lovely, with today's high temperature in Chico of 71 degrees. Today began with overcast skies, but the clouds eventually parted enough by early afternoon to let the sun shine through. The next seven days look gorgeous, with sunny skies and temps warming into the mid 80s for highs! We are going from March to May in the space of a few days! Here's the detailed seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
