typical summer weather

It was more humid yesterday than usual, with the monsoonal flow streaming up from the south. This produced thunderstorms along the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains yesterday morning and again in the afternoon. The lightning show was pretty vivid early yesterday morning; even though the thunderstorms were over the Blue Canyon and Lake Tahoe areas, I could still see some flashes of lightning from my house. No rain fell in Chico, and that trend will continue for awhile. A deepening trough over the California coast will bring in some cooler air to valley and mountain locations this week. We should see highs in the lower 90s by the end of this week- typical summer weather for us. Low temperatures will be mainly in the lower 60s. This is what I call Ho-Hum Weather- nothing exciting, just boring, repetitive weather. Here is Chico's seven day forecast (yawn) from the National Weather Service: Today Sunny, with a high near 95. South wind 3 to 8 mph. Tonight Clear, with a low around 62. Southeast wind around 9 mph. Wednesday Sunny, with a high near 93. South wind 3 to 8 mph. Wednesday Night Clear, with a low around 61. Southeast wind around 9 mph. Thursday Sunny, with a high near 92. South wind 3 to 7 mph. Thursday Night Clear, with a low around 59. Friday Sunny, with a high near 91. Friday Night Clear, with a low around 61. Saturday Sunny, with a high near 93. Saturday Night Clear, with a low around 61. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 93. Sunday Night Clear, with a low around 62. Monday Sunny, with a high near 94.
