Don't cancel those weekend outdoor plans just yet.

It looks like this storm that is forecast to affect our region this weekend will in fact skirt the coast of California. This will limit precipitation in the Northstate, and just light amounts of rain (and mountain snow) will fall. So don't cancel those weekend outdoor plans just yet, as the forecast calls for just a 30% chance of showers Friday and a 20% chance on Saturday. High temperatures are expected to be warmer than previously thought, as well, with highs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the lower to mid 60s. Today has been warmer than yesterday, with the current temperature in Chico hovering around 60 degrees. There have been more clouds today than yesterday, though. The fall colors in Chico are rapidly accelerating, and I think the peak of the fall foliage will occur this weekend and into next week. I need to get out and take some pictures before the color fades! Here is the detailed seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Patchy fog after 4am. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 39. Light northeast wind.

Thursday: Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 66. North northeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm.

Thursday Night: A 10 percent chance of showers after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 42. Calm wind becoming northeast around 5 mph.

Veterans Day: A 30 percent chance of showers, mainly after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 62. Northeast wind at 5 mph becoming south.
