Those two words basically sum up the forecast for Chico the next seven days. There are rumors that we may exceed 70 degrees for a high temperature on Thursday! We should be in the upper 50s this time of year. Currently it's 64 degrees in Chico, and high temps should exceed 60 degrees every day for the next seven days. Oh, well. So much for winter. On the positive side, at least we'll have smaller heating bills! Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:

What happened to winter?
Good question. It looks like we're in for another extended run of dry and warm weather. Other than a slight chance of rain tomorrow night and into Monday morning, there is no other mention of rain in the seven day forecast. Both yesterday and today have been warm (mid 60s for high temperatures), and it appears this warm trend will also be here to stay for awhile. The storms last week brought the Sierra Nevada snowpack from a paltry 24% to over 70% of normal. However, with no storms on the horizon, the snowpack will likely decrease over the next week. Not good. I'm hoping spring will be wetter than normal. Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:
Tonight: Patchy frost after 4am. Otherwise, mostly clear, with a low around 33. West wind at 7 mph becoming northeast.
Sunday: Patchy frost before 10am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 60. Northeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm.
Sunday Night: A 30 percent chance of rain, mainly after 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Monday: A 30 percent chance of showers, mainly before 10am. Partly sunny, with a high near 60. North northwest wind around 6 mph. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 36. North northeast wind around 5 mph.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 59.

dry, with near seasonable temperatures
Today was a rather uneventful weather day in Chico, with mostly cloudy skies and high temps in the mid 50s. In other words, a typical January day. Expect partly cloudy skies and mild daytime highs the next seven days, as many of the storms coming in off the Pacific move into the Pacific Northwest. Boring, ho-hum weather, as I like to call it. Here are the details of Chico's dull weather forecast for the next seven days, courtesy of the National Weather Service:

wet and windy the next 12-24 hours
We are being affected by the current storm to roll in off the Pacific. The brunt of the storm will occur later tonight into early tomorrow (Monday). The valley could see anywhere from a half inch to an inch of rain. The foothills east of Chico (including Paradise) may receive two inches of rain from this storm. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for elevations above 4500 feet from now until Monday afternoon. Six to twelve inches are expected to fall above 4500 feet, while 2+ feet of snow is forecast above 6000 feet in the Sierra Nevada. If traveling to the mountains, be prepared for gusty winds of up to 50 mph and dangerous driving conditions. By Tuesday, expect drier and warmer weather, and that will last through next weekend. For now, it's definitely indoors weather. Here's Chico's seven day forecast from the National Weather Service:
