Fire Weather Concerns; Record Warmth Spreads

The Plains to the mid-Mississippi Valley continue with warm and dry conditions. Any fires that initiate could spread quickly. The warm temperatures will expand across the Southern Plains into the Southwest where numerous records are expected through the weekend. Meanwhile, a cold front will move southward across the northern Plains and Great Lakes region where some snow will develop this weekend. Read More >

Warm and Breezy Friday with High Fire Danger

Pleasant Weekend with Less Wind

Active Weather Week Ahead

One more day of High Fire Danger is expected in and near the southeast mountains today. The gustier winds will be tied closer to the mountains this afternoon, but humidity values will still be very low for all lower elevation areas. Avoid fire starts, especially in the Red Flag Warning area today!

Don't take this "rain check" to the bank just yet, but it does look like we have an active weather week ahead. First storm is expected Tuesday into Wednesday morning. The current storm track suggests a warm system bringing a quick shot of rain and higher elevation snows, with at least some light amounts for most areas across southern CO. But there are several more systems behind this one which could buckle the storm track farther south into a more favorable placement to bring more meaningful amounts in the following days. Days to watch will be Friday into next weekend and again early the following week. These storms are still taking shape over the Pacific Ocean and a LOT can change. Anyone know any good rain dances? #cowx
