After experiencing near-record snowfall last winter with a historically strong El Niño in place, the better part of the last year has seen below normal precipitation across most of eastern Colorado. Drought has continued to expand and intensify through the winter season. However, a fruitful pattern shift is ahead, beginning with our first spring storm of the year!

After a long stretch of very warm weather across the Plains and a lack of mountain snowfall this past week, things look to slowly trend toward a more wintry-feeling, but not until late in the week!
