After two days where temperatures dropped more than expected, and freezing drizzle entered the state, warmer temperatures return for the weekend in Kiowa County.

The transition begins Friday under partly sunny skies, with the high temperature only reaching to the mid-30s before dropping off to the upper teens overnight.

Despite a dusting of new snow this week, the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that nearly all of eastern Colorado is currently experiencing some level of drought. Although trees in urban and community settings throughout this region remain dormant, they require occasional watering during dry winters to remain in top health.

In coordination with Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and statewide law agencies, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will conduct a Heat Is On DUI enforcement over Super Bowl weekend to keep Colorado roads safe from impaired drivers. The enforcement period begins on Friday, Feb. 3, and runs until Monday, Feb. 6. It will include 100 law enforcement agencies from across the state.
