more wet weather coming

Today was a lull in the rain, as skies were mostly cloudy. It was dry but breezy in Chico today, with a high temperature of 57 degrees. It was decent weather for the Christmas Preview in downtown Chico this afternoon and evening, albeit a tad bit chilly. I took some pics of the event; I'll post them tomorrow. The fall colors are absolutely gorgeous right now in Chico. It was an interesting juxtaposition of the Christmas lights downtown amidst the maples and sycamores in their fall finery. Anyway, the next storm should arrive Tuesday and linger into Wednesday. I don't know how strong this storm will be, but I believe most of the energy will go to our north, into Oregon and Washington. Right now Turkey Day looks dry and mild, with highs into the mid 60s. Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service: Tonight A 20 percent chance of rain.
