yearning for fall

I got a small taste of fall this past weekend, as I was camping near the Napa Valley. Overnight temperatures dropped into the mid 50s, and it felt wonderful. It made me yearn for crisp, sunny days and falling yellow and orange leaves- of hay rides and bulky sweatshirts, sipping cider and searching for the perfect pumpkin. It'll happen eventually here in Chico, but I'll have to be a bit patient. While I was camping, the weather here in Chico was fairly typical for this time of year-sunny skies, with highs over the Labor Day weekend mainly in the mid 90s and overnight lows in the lower 60s. That will be our weather for the next several days, as high pressure continues to control our weather. Here are the details from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Clear, with a low around 61. East southeast wind around 6 mph.

Tuesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 97. East wind at 6 mph becoming west.

Tuesday Night: Clear, with a low around 63. North northwest wind between 3 and 5 mph.

Wednesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 96. North northeast wind around 6 mph becoming west southwest.
