showery tonight; pleasant for the work week

Yesterday's high temperature in Chico was 79 degrees under partly sunny skies. There was a pleasant west/ southwesterly breeze which made the warmth tolerable. Look for increasing clouds today as a storm system moves closer to our area this afternoon and into tonight. Showers will linger tomorrow before sunshine returns on Tuesday. A quick- moving storm invades Wednesday night but should beat a hasty retreat by Thursday morning. High temperatures should be in the 60s and 70s (quite nice!), while overnight lows will range from the mids 40s to lower 50s. Oh, I also added a link to my links list to the right of my blog entries. The Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Foundation has been taking care of abandoned and neglected exotic and wild animals since 1994. The Foundation recently moved from their cramped quarters in Durham, south of Chico, to roomier digs in Butte Valley near the Butte College main campus. The Foundation just opened to the public this past week. Check out the good things they are doing at their website, then pay them a visit at their beautiful new grounds. It's like Chico has its own zoo! Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:
