typical September weather

It's been typical September weather (well, minus the mugginess and thunderstorms) the past few days, and that pattern will continue through next week. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s/ lower 90s, while overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 50s. Sunshine will rule, as is typically the case this time of year. The rainy season usually does not begin until around late October. That's also the time the trees in Chico begin changing into their autumn finery (in the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of Chico, it's early October). I love fall; I can't wait for the cooler days and the misty weather. This weekend is action- packed in Chico, as the kick- off to Artoberfest, Chico Palio, takes place in Bidwell Park all day tomorrow. Taste of Chico happens Sunday in downtown Chico. All of the local restaurants (and we have an amazing number of them) will be there to allow you to taste some of their finest dishes. The weather for both days will be warm, but nothing we Chicoans can't handle- upper 80s to low 90s under beautiful sunshine. Come out and enjoy what Chico has to offer this weekend!
