After daytime high temperatures in the mid to upper 60s the past two days, winter will return with temps 10 to 12 degrees below where they have been. A cold front will move through the area late Friday and Friday night, bringing us only a slight chance of showers. What will be more noticeable will be the cooler air the cold front brings with it. High temps for both Saturday and Sunday will be in the low 60s, and by Monday only in the mid 50s! A second cold front that will arrive late Sunday will be responsible for the reinforcing shot of colder air by early next week. Fortunately, overnight lows in the valley should stay above freezing, thereby lessening any potential damage to the already blossoming almond trees. Here's the detailed forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
