nice and quiet weather

After a rather chilly and unsettled late week, this weekend and most of next week look dry and quiet. Partly to mostly sunny skies and high temps in the 60s and 70s will be the rule for Chico and the northern Sacramento Valley through the end of next week. It appears that our rainy season (for the most part) is over. Considering it was a La Nina winter, and that during La Ninas we here in Northern California experience cooler and drier conditions than average, we were fairly wet this past winter. Chico received more than two inches above our normal seasonal rainfall. However, we probably averaged about normal for temperatures, considering we had a very mild January and February. I'm just hoping we don't have a blazingly hot summer! Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:

Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 66. South southeast wind between 3 and 8 mph.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 46. South southeast wind between 8 and 11 mph.

Monday: A 20 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 65. South southeast wind around 9 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 45. South southeast wind 6 to 8 mph becoming east northeast.

Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 67. Northeast wind at 5 mph becoming south southwest.

Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 44.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 63.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 45.

Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 68.

Thursday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 51.

Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 72.
