mini heat wave

I say mini because it will only last a couple of days. However, we will see temps in the mid 90s in Chico and other valley locations tomorrow and Wednesday. Temps will cool a bit to around average late in the week. Dry, sunny days and mild, starry nights will be the rule the next seven days. There is some concern over flooding near some rivers and streams due to the rapid warm up. Snowmelt will accelerate the next several days, and that could pose flooding problems in some areas. If you live near a river or stream, keep an eye out for rising waters. Also, these waters are very chilly (water temps in some rivers and streams are averaging in the low 50s), so don't be tempted to swim in them when the temps heat up. Besides, with the swiftly running water, it's simply too dangerous to swim right now. Keep this in mind when enjoying the outdoors this week. Here is the seven day Chico forecast from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Clear, with a low around 61. North northwest wind between 3 and 7 mph.

Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 94. North northwest wind between 7 and 9 mph.
