quiet weather

In stark contrast to the severe weather plaguing much of the middle and eastern parts of the U.S., we here in Northern California have been experiencing quiet, tranquil weather. Today has been overcast, with slightly below average temps in the mid-60s. We're on the tail-end of a front that will be sweeping through our area overnight tonight, bringing with it a slight chance of showers over the next 24 hours. A more vigorous system moves through Sunday night into Monday, bringing a better chance of wet weather. Tuesday through next Friday look pleasant, with sunny skies and highs in the 60s and 70s. Overnight lows through the period should range from the mid 40s to the low 50s. Enjoy your weekend! Here are the details of Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:
