It's a good idea to throw on a jacket and get your umbrella handy before you head out the door Thursday. A cool and wet system off the coast of the Pacific Northwest will track southeast through the Pacific Northwest and end up to our east from today through early Saturday. This will drive cloudy skies, cooler temperatures and the potential for light to moderate showers across our region to end your work week. There will also be a slight chance for thunderstorm activity popping up Thursday and Friday, and the potential for high elevation snow late Thursday night through mid morning Friday. We've had cloudy skies overnight, and the light showers that brushed across our region late Wednesday night have fizzled out into early Thursday morning. We'll start out cloudy, dry and mild today, but shower chances will increase from mid day through this evening. It looks like you'll need your umbrella if you're planning on heading out to the Thursday Night Market in Chico this evening. Temperatures are mostly starting out in the low to mid 50's in the valley, but Redding has stayed in the lower 60's overnight. Foothill areas are starting out in the 40's to lower 50's, and our mountain zones have dipped into the 30's to mid 40's Thursday morning. We'll have south winds to 15mph through this afternoon, but northwest winds will develop and become breezy this evening. High temperatures are projected to climb into the mid 60's to lower 70's in the valley, 50's to lower 60's in the foothills, and upper 40's to upper 50's in most of our mountain zones Thursday afternoon. The heaviest showers from this system are expected from mid afternoon Thursday through mid morning Friday.
