showers return

Today wasn't as sunny as predicted, with mostly cloudy skies a good part of the day here in Chico. The high temperature did make it to 73 degrees, however, which is right about where we should be for the middle of April. Another storm system will begin to affect us tomorrow, with increasing southerly winds ahead of it and a chance for some light rain. The showers become steadier and more numerous tomorrow night and linger into Thursday. Right now forecast models are showing some rain affecting our weekend, but keep your fingers crossed that it won't happen. Here are the details for Chico from the National Weather Service:
