Yesterday's high temperature at Chico Municipal Airport (which now seems to have its own reliable NWS observation station) was 82 degrees. That's nine degrees above our average for October 29th. We will see two more days of above average temps before the weather begins to change. High temperatures today and tomorrow will range from the mid 70s to lower 80s under wall-to-wall sunshine. Sunny skies will linger through at least the middle of this upcoming week, but temperatures will cool into the 60s to around 70 degrees by Tuesday. Temperatures will continue to cool down as the week progresses, with highs only in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees Thursday through Saturday. A chance of showers creeps into the picture on Thursday and again on Saturday. Meanwhile, in the mountains, snow levels are expected to drop to around 2500-3000 feet by the end of the week. Right now there is no expectation of a huge snow event; most likely just a few snowflakes will fall, leading to a light dusting at these elevations. But, the forecast can always change, so check back for updates. Right now the forecast for trick or treating looks fabulous, with temps in the lower 70s and clear skies around sunset tomorrow evening. Downtown Chico is hosting its annual Treat Street from 2-5pm tomorrow. Stores will be giving away free candy and other goodies during this event, so be sure to bring the little ones all decked out in their Halloween costumes. It's just another reason that Chico is so cool. Here is the latest forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
