stuck in a rut

The weather pattern over the next seven days will pretty much be the same. We seem to be stuck in a rut weather wise here in Northern California. Sunny, mild days and clear, chilly nights will be the theme of this upcoming week as high pressure will keep any precipitation from forming. Yesterday was again quite blustery, with northwesterly breezes reaching gusts of 30 mph in Chico. The winds should slacken today, and should remain light the next seven days. This may create air stagnation, and pollutants may increase because of this. Chico currently has a policy in which woodburning is prohibited if particulate matter rises above a certain level. This includes burning wood in your fireplace, as smoke from chimneys hangs over Chico like a blanket. When this happens, especially during the evenings, I can smell the smoke, which irritates my eyes and lungs. Not good. Anyway, highs over the next seven days should be in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees (normal high for Chico this time of year is 57 degrees), while overnight lows will be in the mid 30s (36 degrees is the normal low). Have a good week!
