a chance of rain still in the forecast

It probably won't be a lot of rain, but the chance is still there for the end of this week. A fairly strong storm (for this time of year)will move into Northern California on Friday, giving us a chance for rain and an even better chance for cooler weather. The average high for this time of year is around 89 degrees, and we will be below that all week this week, especially Saturday. That day's high will only be in the mid 70s! Come on, fall! The National Weather Service is not giving specific chances of rainfall other than Friday, but hopefully the forecast will become more accurate as we get closer to the end of the week. For now, here is what the NWS is saying for Chico: Today Sunny, with a high near 81. Southeast wind 6 to 8 mph. Tonight Mostly clear, with a low around 55. Light and variable wind becoming north 5 to 9 mph after midnight. Wednesday Sunny, with a high near 86. Northwest wind 6 to 10 mph. Wednesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 57.
