    Warmer today, but breezy over the higher terrain (50 mph gusts) and northeast plains (30-35 near WY border). Elevated fire weather on the northeast plains too for windy & dry conditions.

    No freezing drizzle in the near future thankfully. But ever wondered when the greatest threat for freezing drizzle is, or which winters had the most freezing drizzle?

    High pressure will bring a warming trend and dry weather through next Tuesday. Another cold front will move through mid-week with snow likely in the mountains, and a good chance of snow on the plains.

    Looks like a bit of a warming and drying trend for the state of Colorado the last 5 years or so (August - January temperature/precipitation graphs starting year 1895).

    North central Colorado mountain snowpack is near normal, & better than a year ago when it was only 81% to 84% of normal. Reservoir storage is near normal in the South Platte basin, below normal in the Colorado River basin.
