triple digits?

The summer heat continues. The high temperature yesterday was 96 degrees in Chico. We will possibly hit the triple digits by Sunday, but by next Thursday, the high temperature may not hit 90 degrees. For this time of year, that is quite nice! Today and tomorrow expect highs in the mid 90s, as well as mid 90s for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Overnight lows will stay in the 60s. That's what is nice about this area of the country: it may get super hot during the day, but, thanks to low humidity levels (and decreasing amounts of sunlight as we head into late summer), overnight lows are very comfortable. So we are able to get relief from the daytime heat. Currently temps around the Chico area are in the mid to upper 60s, and the visibility is excellent. Smoke and haze have been plaguing areas of the Northstate the past week, with fires seemingly burning all around us. The American Fire, burning between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, has been particularly vexing to foothills communities regarding smoke and poor air quality. Currently in the Chico area, there does not appear to be much in the way of smoke or haze. It is a very pleasant morning! Here is Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service: Today Sunny, with a high near 95. Light and variable wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the afternoon.
