active weather

Wow, yesterday was active weatherwise! Snow in Paradise, a report of a tornado around Red Bluff, hail and heavy rain across the area. Some areas saw some of this active weather, other areas saw little to nothing. There was widespread morning showers across the area yesterday morning, amounting to between .10-.25 of an inch. Fortunately, the weather will be much calmer today, but also much cooler than what we've seen the past several days. We're looking at high temps only in the mid 50s today with sunny skies. Temperatures will gradually warm over the next several days, with highs by this weekend climbing into the 60s. There is a chance of rain between Friday night and Saturday morning; otherwise, expect dry weather the next several days.
