After a pretty hot 97 degrees today, I'm ready for some fall- like weather. I'm going to have to wait awhile, as strong high pressure will anchor itself over the west coast of the U.S. the next seven days. Typically many cities in California, particularly along the coast, see some of the hottest weather of the year during the month of September. This year will be no exception. High temps in the upper 90s, and lows in the warm (for this time of year) mid 60s will dominate the weather forecast for the Sacramento Valley over the next several days. I'm sure the fire risk is elevated currently, as we've been dry for over two months. We've also seen fairly gusty north winds today, which are downsloping winds. These downsloping winds heat and dry out the air, so watch where you burn. In fact, I advise to not burn anything at all outdoors. The risk is too great. I'm going camping down in Napa this weekend, so I'll return next week to resume blogging. Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend! Here's Chico's seven day detailed forecast from the National Weather Service:
