Warmer temperatures will continue through the middle of the week, and the forecast hints at some potential for rain or snow later in the week.

Sunday will be breezy, with north winds gradually increasing to 15 to 25 miles per hour in the morning. The high temperature will be around 70, with an overnight low of 30 expected.

Look for unseasonably warm high temperatures in the low to mid-70s continuing through Wednesday, with overnight lows remaining just above freezing.

“Shore is nice this time a-year,” Windy said, smiling at those gathered. “Minds me of years ago back, you know? When we was young.”

Windy, visiting from the ranch, had pulled up a stool so he was partially blocking the hallway entrance – also known as the “escape route” down at the Rest of Your Life retirement home. This made it rather difficult for Mabel, who has to use a walker, and Pop Walker, who is on a cane on good days, and crutches when the weather gets cold. This was a crutch day.

Drought conditions increased again across Colorado over the past week, with only the western portion of Moffat County untouched by any category of dryness.

Currently, more than 67 percent of the state is considered abnormally dry – the lowest-level drought category - with an additional 31 percent listed as being in moderate drought.

While the expansion of abnormally dry conditions was minor, moderate drought increased from just under 25 percent of the state last week to current level.

I have noticed as we come into Eads from Brandon lots of trash in the barrow pits.

Please, let’s keep our state and county clean.

We have not had this problem much before.
