chilly temps

Happy weekend! The jet stream is dipping south this weekend, allowing colder air from the Gulf of Alaska to pour southward into our area. Current temps this morning are in the mid 30s, and it may get colder tonight. A Frost Advisory is in effect starting at midnight tonight and lasting until 8 am tomorrow morning. Overnight lows tonight may get down to around 33-34 degrees. Cover up the tender vegetation, and bring potted plants indoors. The normal first frost for Chico is November 11th, so we're right on time for this one.
