unsettled weather for Easter weekend

Yesterday's weather in Chico was absolutely gorgeous, with sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Kiss that kind of weather goodbye for now, because a weak low pressure system will be moving into our area later today and will hang out through the weekend like an obnoxious family member with impeccably bad timing. Easter egg hunts and sunrise services could be affected by these showers, so plan accordingly. Temperatures will be coolish, but right around where we should be for the end of March. Dry weather returns just in time for the work week, with sunny skies Monday through Wednesday. Then another low pressure system invades towards the end of next week, bringing another risk of showers for next weekend. We do need the rain, but couldn't it have held off until after the weekend?
