Yesterday was downright dreary in Chico, with temperatures stuck in the 50s and off-and-on rain showers. I volunteered to participate in the Multicultural Community Collaboration Festival in Bidwell Park yesterday, and I was wet and cold most of the time. Even when it wasn't raining, the wind would shake the moisture off of the towering oak trees above us, soaking everything below. Good news, though- the next six days (at least, if not longer) look absolutely wonderful! There's a chance we may see 80 degrees by the middle of the week! The fall colors are in abundance in Chico right now, so get out there and take some beautiful pictures (I am). Oh, and I almost forgot: Happy Halloween! Conditions should be dry for later today, so no need for any wet weather gear over those costumes. Have fun, and stay safe! Here are the details on the fine weather for this upcoming week from the National Weather Service:
Today: A 20 percent chance of showers before 11am. Partly sunny, with a high near 65. South southeast wind between 7 and 10 mph.

off and on showers this weekend
It appears we will have an off and on wet day today and tomorrow before things dry out in time for trick or treating. Speaking of trick or treating, the Downtown Chico Business Association (DCBA) is hosting a kid-friendly trick or treat event on Sunday afternoon. This is an annual event where youngsters dressed in their Halloween costumes can go from business to business and collect goodies. It's a fun, family-friendly event, and the weather should cooperate for it. However, the weather isn't cooperating with this morning's commute. It is beginning to rain in Chico currently, and should for the next few hours. Looking at the radar, there are some embedded heavier showers in a line of rain that extends from Redding to the Napa Valley. This line is associated with a weak cold front that is slowly moving east. We will see a lull in shower activity this afternoon before the actual low pressure system, now out in the Pacific, moves inland tonight. Winds from the south will increase ahead of this low overnight and into tomorrow. A couple of inches of snow may fall above 6000' in the Sierra Nevada mountains east of Chico between today and late tomorrow. It should be mainly dry on Sunday as the low moves away, and most of next week looks spectacular, with sunny skies and highs in the 60s and 70s. Many of the deciduous trees in Chico are currently transitioning into their fall colors, and next week should be perfect picture-taking weather as the leaves begin to peak. Have a great weekend, everyone! Here's the latest Chico forecast from the National Weather Service:
Today: A 30 percent chance of showers, mainly before 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 64. North northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm.

Special Weather Statement
SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
* RAPID RISES ON SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS
* WATER PONDING ON ROADS
* LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING
* REDUCED VISIBILITIES DUE TO AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN
RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...IS EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY IN THE
COASTAL MOUNTAINS AND THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY...AND THE
SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS. PEOPLE PLANNING TRAVEL ALONG INTERSTATE 5
BETWEEN THE ORLAND AREA AND THE SHASTA/SISKIYOU COUNTY BORDER CAN
EXPECT REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND WATER PONDING ON ROADS AT TIMES
DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
SNOW LEVELS IN THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS WILL DROP TO AROUND 5500 FEET
WHERE UP TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE.
THE ABOVE IMPACTS ARE BEING CAUSED BY A STORM SYSTEM WHICH IS
DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS STORM WILL BRING
RAIN TO THE OUTLINED AREA ABOVE STARTING THIS EVENING. THE STORM
WILL STALL AND CONTINUE TO BRING RAIN...WHICH WILL BE HEAVY AT
TIMES...THROUGH FRIDAY. THE WEATHER SYSTEM WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE
ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT.
Could another major storm affect our area over the next 48 hours? It looks like heavy rain and breezy conditions will affect areas of the Northern Sacramento Valley, but could also affect areas of the Central Sacramento Valley (where Chico is located). More interesting weather to come, I'm sure.

Chico has experienced some well below average temperatures since that big storm moved through two days ago. This morning's low was a very chilly 40 degrees, while this afternoon's high was only 66 degrees- eight degrees below the normal high for this date. It looks like this trend will continue. We may have a wet Halloween, but only a slight chance of showers is in the forecast at this time. There will be mainly off and on showers for the rest of this week, along with some sun breaks.

what a storm!
Chico received nearly two inches of rain over the past 24 hours. Winds were sustained at 30 mph this afternoon, while the peak wind gust at Chico Municipal Airport was 41 mph. It's only stopped raining within the past hour or so, and the skies are beginning to clear. I haven't heard of any reports of damage or power outages, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are. We usually don't see storms of this magnitude until December, so this was very unusual for October. It looks like the rain isn't through with us yet; after a few days of dry, sunny, and cool weather, we'll see another potentially strong storm by Thursday. Next weekend could also be wet. Stay tuned. Here's the latest forecast from the National Weather Service:
Tonight: Showers likely, mainly before 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 50. South wind 18 to 21 mph decreasing to between 7 and 10 mph. Winds could gust as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
Monday: Partly sunny, with a high near 60. East wind at 6 mph becoming southwest.

Wind Advisory for Sunday
The weather is still expected to worsen over the next 12 hours or so. The rain has been fairly steady today, and will become heavier tonight and into early tomorrow. The winds will also increase overnight tonight. This is all thanks to a combination of a remnant typhoon and a strong jet stream. Isolated urban flooding is possible due to the strong winds knocking off leaves on trees and sending them into the gutters, causing them to clog drainage systems. Power outages are possible (though not expected to be widespread) due to most of the trees still having leaves on them. The leaves act as "sails," amplifying the wind and causing tree branches to fall onto power lines. All of this nasty weather should taper off by late tomorrow afternoon. More storms may affect us next week. Here are details on the Wind Advisory from the National Weather Service:
WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM TO 5 PM PDT SUNDAY...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SACRAMENTO HAS ISSUED A WIND
