warm and windy

What is up with all this wind? It has been windy since last Friday, with every day since then recording wind speeds in Chico of over 20 mph! It has been warm, as well, but only a couple of degrees above average, with today's high temperature so far at 82 degrees. It's going to get a whole lot warmer the next few days- lower 90s are expected tomorrow and Thursday! Fortunately, it looks sunny but cooler for this weekend, perfect for an art gallery hop! The Chico Visual Arts Alliance (or CHIVAA), is hosting an art exhibit at the funky, Mediterranean-style Matador Motel on the Esplanade this Friday and Saturday. Artwork will be exhibited under the tents and palm trees in the motel's courtyard, as well as in individual motel rooms. The artwork will highlight Mexican-American artists primarily, timed with Cinco de Mayo. Interestingly, Cinco de Mayo is a bigger holiday here north of the border than in some parts of Mexico! Any excuse for a party, I guess. Anyway, here is the latest forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Clear, with a low around 56. North northwest wind between 5 and 9 mph.
