still on track for cooler weather

Today's high temperature in Chico was a pleasant 91 degrees. Some may say that 91 degrees does not sound pleasant, but for this part of the country for early August, it's pleasant. Low humidity and gentle southerly winds helped to keep the weather nice today. There's also less smoke as the wind flow blows the smoke out of the valley. The Branch Fire near Lake Oroville is nearly completely contained at this time, as well. This lovely summer weather will continue over the next several days, with temps dipping into the mid 80s for highs by the end of this week! Get out and enjoy!
