hot, then not so hot

Today begins a three day streak of temps above 90 degrees. The hottest day will be tomorrow, with highs in Chico nearing the 100 degree mark. By this weekend, temperatures will be more manageable- mainly in the 80s. A nice cooldown will occur by the beginning of next week, as highs will be in the lower 80s. I have a feeling we will not have a blazingly hot summer. The last time Chico had a really hot summer was in 2006. That summer we saw high temps above 100 degrees for 11 days in a row in late July. Hopefully we will not see that this year. Here is Chico's hot-then-not-so-hot forecast from the National Weather Service: Today: Sunny, with a high near 92.
