typical summer weather
It was more humid yesterday than usual, with the monsoonal flow streaming up from the south. This produced thunderstorms along the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains yesterday morning and again in the afternoon. The lightning show was pretty vivid early yesterday morning; even though the thunderstorms were over the Blue Canyon and Lake Tahoe areas, I could still see some flashes of lightning from my house. No rain fell in Chico, and that trend will continue for awhile. A deepening trough over the California coast will bring in some cooler air to valley and mountain locations this week. We should see highs in the lower 90s by the end of this week- typical summer weather for us. Low temperatures will be mainly in the lower 60s. This is what I call Ho-Hum Weather- nothing exciting, just boring, repetitive weather. Here is Chico's seven day forecast (yawn) from the National Weather Service:
Today Sunny, with a high near 95. South wind 3 to 8 mph.
