The Wind Advisory wasn't needed after all for today because winds never got stronger than 20 mph. Mainly the winds were out of the north/ northwest around 10-15 mph. But those winds helped to dry the air out and we had a 31 degree temperature difference between our morning low temperature and afternoon high temperature (see unofficial high and low temps below). Temps will continue to be above average for the next few days, as high pressure and continued northerly winds help to warm us up here in the Sacramento Valley. However, it looks like some changes are in store for us by the end of next week and into next weekend. There could be (emphasis on could) a fairly significant cold snap (well, cold for these parts), which could set up some low snow levels for this time of year (maybe 2000 feet?). Plus, there could be a series of storms moving through our area once the colder air is in place. For Chico, that just means some cold rain. For the nearby mountains and foothills, however, there could be some potentially treacherous weather. Check back often for updates, as this is not set in stone. Anyway, for now, here's what the National Weather Service is saying for Chico the next seven days:
Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 45. North northwest wind between 9 and 13 mph.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 74. North northwest wind between 9 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.

Happy Veterans Day
Being a fellow veteran myself, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of those who have served to make our country, and the world, safe. Thank you for your service. Today in Chico has been beautiful weather-wise, with wall-to-wall sunshine and temps in the mid-60s. Gorgeous! This streak of wonderful weather will continue for the next seven days as high pressure remains large and in charge. Northerly winds this weekend will push temps into the mid-70s, about ten degrees above average for this time of year. It'll feel more like April than November. With the barrage of holiday-themed advertisements the past couple of weeks, it's been difficult for me to get into the holiday spirit with all of this nice, spring-like weather! However, the early mornings have been chilly! This morning's low in Chico was 35 degrees! That's not unusual when we have very dry air at the surface. We get this huge temperature diurnal where we start out quite cold and end the day with mild high temperatures. Here's the detailed seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:

stormy Sunday
From the National Weather Service:
* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
CENTRAL BUTTE COUNTY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...
THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF...PULGA...PARADISE...OROVILLE...
CHICO...
EXTREME EAST CENTRAL GLENN COUNTY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...
* UNTIL 800 PM PST
* AT 500 PM PST...DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A LINE OF STORMS NEAR
CHICO AND OROVILLE WITH PERSISTENT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THIS
COULD CAUSE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...
HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER ON COUNTRY ROADS AND
FARMLAND ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
There have been some pretty decent thunderboomers (aka thunderstorms)this evening over Chico and Butte County (hence the Urban Flood Advisory). Heavy rain, small hail, thunder and lightning have all been associated with these storms as they move east/northeast. Earlier today we had some steady, moderate rain, giving Chico over three-fourths of an inch. The winds were breezy, but not gusty, generally in the 15-25 mph range. All of this stormy weather will move off to the east throughout the evening, and skies will clear after midnight. Lows tonight will dip into the mid 40s. Highs tomorrow under sunny skies will only rise to the chilly 50s. Lows tomorrow night will drop into the mid 30s! Frost and/or freeze warnings may be posted for early Tuesday morning because of the cold air. On Tuesday the clouds return with highs stuck in the upper 50s, and we'll see a decent chance of showers Tuesday night. It'll remain dry Wednesday through next Sunday, with temps warming up from the lower 60s on Wednesday into the lower 70s by next weekend. So, the weather will improve as the fall foliage peaks in Chico this next week. Have a good week!

SUNDAY.
* LOWER ELEVATION MOUNTAIN AND FOOTHILL RAINFALL AMOUNTS
GENERALLY FROM 1 TO 2 INCHES...WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. SNOW LEVELS ABOVE PASSES AND LOWERING TO BELOW 6000
FEET BY SUNDAY EVENING.

MORE DETAILS.
A STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS INTERIOR NORTHERN

WINDS TO THE AREA. SINCE MANY TREES ARE JUST NOW LOSING THEIR
LEAVES...GUSTY WINDS MAY CAUSE SOME FALLING TREES OR TREE LIMBS.
PONDING OF WATER IS ALSO POSSIBLE ON ROADS WHERE LEAVES CLOG STORM
DRAINS.
A WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT VERY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT FOR HEAVY SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS IN THE HIGHER
MOUNTAINS OF THE NORTHERN SIERRA AND THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN
PLUMAS COUNTY AND LASSEN NATIONAL PARK.
Here's the seven day forecast in a nutshell: a 50% chance of rain tonight, followed by a 100% chance of rain tomorrow. South/ southeast winds will increase tonight to 10-20 mph. Tomorrow's winds will be from the south at speeds of 15-25 mph, with gusts to 30-40 mph. Rain will taper to showers tomorrow evening, then the storm will move to the east. One to two feet of snow are possible in the Sierra Nevada mountains above 5000 feet tomorrow and tomorrow night. It'll dry out for Monday, with another, weaker storm moving through Tuesday and Tuesday night. Wednesday through Friday will be clear, with temps warming up. High temperatures tomorrow will only be in the upper 50s, with lower 60s Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday will see highs in the mid 60s, while Thursday and Friday highs will climb into the lower 70s. If traveling into the mountains this weekend, be prepared for rapidly deteriorating weather conditions. Bring a winter supply kit, and make sure you have plenty of gas in the vehicle. This storm is traveling right along the jet stream; hence the strong winds and the relative quickness of the storm. Be careful tomorrow! Also, daylight savings time ends tonight; don't forget to set your clocks back one hour. We gain an hour of sleep! Whoo-hoo! Notice the earlier sunrise and sunset times for tomorrow below.
