Looking at the current temperature (67 degrees in Chico), one would think Mother Nature was confused about which month it is. Light northwesterly winds, low humidity and ample sunshine are combining to cause the temperature to soar to nearly fifteen degrees above normal. Meanwhile, 90 miles to our south in Sacramento, fog has been persistent much of the day and temps there have been held into the 50s this afternoon. The dry, mild weather continues through at least the middle of next week. December 2011 may go down as one of the driest months in Chico's weather history if this trend continues. Hopefully we'll get more rain before the end of the year. Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:
