Red Flag Warning means more of the same

It warm and dry out there folks, and it is starting to become a problem. It is not every winter that we see a Red Flag Warning during the first week of March, but then again this winter is not like other winters is it. Sure enough the National Weather Service has issued one for much of northeast Colorado today with temperatures soaring into the mid 60s and 20 mph winds. Unfortunately it does not look like there is much reprieve in the extended forecast as temperatures are expected to stay above normal through the period. Only a slight chance of rain or snow showers this weekend, with highs remaining in the 50s and 60s well into next week. While warm weather is nice (yeah, even I can admit that), let's remember how important Spring snows are for Denver as we head into the summer months. After an already incredibly dry winter, it would do all of us some good to get some moisture in the coming weeks.

Remember to change your clocks this weekend!
