get ready for some heat

I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. Saturday and Sunday were nice, with sunshine and highs in the 70s. Today was cool and showery in Chico, with .06" falling in the rain bucket and a high temperature of 67 degrees (about 17 degrees cooler than the average for this date). If you didn't like the cool, damp, fall-like weather for your Memorial Day, then you'll like this forecast. Sunshine returns tomorrow after overnight showers, with highs approaching 80 degrees. High temps increase throughout this week, with near 80 degrees for Wednesday, mid-80s for Thursday, and 90s Friday through Sunday. Some areas may flirt with 100 degrees on Saturday! Break out the shades, shorts, and flip-flops! Don't forget the SPF lotion! It's going to get hot, so get ready.
