a change in the weather

We could not ask for better spring weather than what we've seen the past few days. It was a touch breezy Friday and yesterday, but the sun was out and the temperatures were nearly perfect- mid to upper 60s. The wonderful spring weather will continue today, with sunshine and highs on either side of 70 degrees. Today is the annual Chico Kite Day at Community Park. It's a free, family-friendly event, with food, music, and contests for best kite. It happens from noon until 4 pm. Yesterday may have been a better day to fly a kite, as the winds will be a lot calmer today. Still, it's a good reason to get out and soak up some sun! There is a change in the weather for this updoming week, as a trough of low pressure digs in and chips away at the high pressure that's been dominating our weather the past several days. This appears to be a weak low pressure system, as there is no heavy rain or wind event coming. There will be a prolonged period of off-and-on showers from Wednesday into next weekend, so make sure that umbrella is handy. High temperatures this week will be in the low 70s today through Tuesday, while Wednesday through Friday highs will dip into the upper 60s.
