The neighbor's tree is a victim of the heavy wet snow today. Southwest Fort Collins Colorado. #cowx @BianchiWeather @CBSJoeWeather @CReppWx

Incredible example of wind shear in the atmosphere over the Colorado front range today. Convective precipitation is moving east to west in a lower layer of the atmosphere as stratified precipitation moves west to east above. This is a relatively rare visual of a wind shear profile traced through precipitation echoes on radar.

Early afternoon update: 12” of snow and dumping on the west side of Estes Park near Beaver Meadows VC (7850’). @NWSBoulder @BoulderCAST #cowx -LA1001

Already a foot of snow near the entrance to @RockyNPS with plenty more snow to come! Travel will be especially hazardous in Larimer and Boulder Counties through tomorrow afternoon. #COwx

First Alert: Winter-like blast changing things up this week. 3 to 8 inches of snow possible around the Denver Metro Area Tuesday night into Wednesday. #cowx @LaurenCBS4 @CallieZTV @AlexLCBS4 @AshtonCBS @CBSJoeWeather @CBSNEWSCOLORADO

We just observed the highest Equatorial Pacific oceanic heat content for *any* month since 1997 and the highest for April in the entire satellite era. If it wasn’t clear to you before that we were headed for a “Super” El Niño later this year, hopefully it is now.

CORE currently has just over 7,000 members without power in the Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Park and Teller Counties due to heavy snow. Crews are assessing and will work as quickly as possible to restore service.

Target fire 🔥 is burning in the 100 block of East 29th in Pueblo right now. #cowx credit: Connie Lowe

Some light snowfall falling in Fort Collins this morning. Trying to stick to the grass, but not on the pavement. 850am. @BianchiWeather @CBSJoeWeather #cowx

Wildlife officers responded to a mountain lion in Salida on Sunday. The big cat crossed Hwy 50 into town and was observed near the elementary school, then under a trailer across the street before jumping a fence at the home of Jim Aragon, retired CPW wildlife officer. (More)

630 pm. A splash of rain in Fort Collins, enough to get the pavement wet. #cowx. @BianchiWeather @CBSJoeWeather

THE ARTEMIS II ECLIPSE. April 6, 2026. Totality, beyond Earth. From lunar orbit, the Moon eclipses the Sun, revealing a view few in human history have ever witnessed. Photo: NASA

This may be the most detailed image of the Moon ever released. 1000 frames stacked using a Nikon Z8 and Takahashi TSA-120 telescope.

We are monitoring a new wildfire start in the Chautauqua Park area of Boulder, visible to the northwest of our campus. Winds are fortunately relatively light at this time, favoring a light downslope component. Monitor @boulder_fire, @BoulderOEM and Watch Duty for updates. #COwx

Sunset tonight in Denver. One word: Amazing. #COwx @CReppWx @KylieBearseWX @CBSJoeWeather

If you're smelling smoke across the Denver metro and areas south, don't be alarmed. It's coming from the 24 Fire burning to the southwest of Colorado Springs. Some light surface smoke will continue through early morning before diminishing. #COwx

We've received many questions about a possible smoke smell across northeast Colorado this morning. It is indeed smoke produced by large wildfires in Nebraska that moved into northeast Colorado this morning reducing visibility and creating poor air quality. #COwx

All of Wellington has lost power due to extreme winds.
