hot and slightly humid today

A weak weather system is moving northeastward from the Pacific Ocean over northern California today. As that system moves into Oregon later this evening it may touch off some very isolated thundershowers over some of the higher elevations of the Northstate. Most of these storms, should they develop, will not have much rain with them. They will have plenty of lightning, which could set off some forest fires. Currently it is hot in Chico, with the present temperature at 96 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Dewpoints are in the 40s, bringing a slight touch of humidity to the air. The seven day forecast doesn't call for much change in temperatures- mainly in the low to mid 90s for highs. Here are the specifics for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 63. South southeast wind between 5 and 9 mph.

Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 93. Calm wind becoming west southwest around 5 mph.

Thursday Night: Clear, with a low around 64. South southwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming east southeast.
