spectacular weather ahead

It doesn't get much better than this: sunny skies and high temperatures in the 70s and 80s. That's what we can expect for Chico the next seven days. It will be a bit on the breezy side this weekend as northerly winds may gust up to 25 mph at times. Other than that, it will be gorgeous; get out and enjoy this great weather! Also, if recreating at one of our many bodies of water (Sacramento River, Feather River, Chico Creek, Butte Creek, Lake Oroville), use caution as the waters are running quite cold this time of year due to snowmelt in the mountains.
