heating up again

The past few days have been rather sticky and uncomfortable despite slightly cooler temperatures. That's thanks to monsoonal moisture streaming up from the south, causing humidity levels to rise. Thunderstorms have been erupting over the Sierra Nevada the past two days, but no thunderstorm activity has occurred over the valley. The monsoonal moisture should begin to abate today and tomorrow as temperatures heat up again to around 100 degrees. It will remain hot through the beginning of next week, with highs from 95-100 degrees. There may be a cool down on the way by the middle of next week as highs only reach the lower 90s by next Tuesday. I'll keep you all posted on that. For now, here's the current seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service: Today Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 98. South wind 5 to 8 mph.
