A quick recap of Chico's weather the past three days: sunny and mild. Friday's high temperatures were pushed towards the 70 degree mark with northwesterly (read: downsloping) winds between 15-25 mph. Highs yesterday and today have been more seasonable- mid 50s. Yesterday and today have also seen very stagnant air and hazy skies. This is due to a stubborn and strong high pressure system staying put right on top of us. As a result, we have calm winds and sinking air, which is causing an inversion in which pollutants get trapped in the valley. Not good if you have asthma or any other type of breathing ailment. It looks like this high pressure system will remain anchored over us for the foreseeable future. No rain or wind is in the forecast for at least the next seven days, so the air may continue to remain stagnant and hazy. Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:
Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 36. Calm wind.
