Spring storm set to soak Colorado: First Alert Days issued for Monday and Tuesday

CBS News04-05-2025
After a relatively calm weekend, a strong spring storm system is set to impact much of Colorado starting Monday, prompting First Alert Weather Days for both Monday and Tuesday. The storm is expected to bring widespread rain to the plains and significant snowfall to the higher elevations along the Front Range.
CBS
Sunday will remain relatively mild with high temperatures in the 70s across the plains and foothills. Sunday afternoon widely scattered showers are expected across the mountains with breezy conditions statewide.
On Monday, widespread showers will develop across the state throughout the day, with gusty southeast winds up to 45 mph making for a blustery start to the week. Most of the precipitation across the plains will fall as rain, with high temperatures reaching the upper 50s to low 60s. However, for elevations above 9,500 feet, accumulating snow is likely. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning for the San Juan Mountains.
CBS
While the chance for severe thunderstorms is low, there is a chance for severe storms across the southern plains, especially if there are breaks in cloud cover.
CBS
Tuesday will likely bring the heaviest precipitation of the storm system. As the low pressure center slowly moves eastward, a steady stream of moisture will continue to flow into Colorado, especially along the Front Range and urban corridor, where 1-2 inches of rain are possible. Due to excessive rainfall there is a concern about localized flooding.
CBS
Travel impacts are expected in the high country Tuesday and Wednesday mornings due to moderate to heavy snowfall.
CBS
By late week, an upper ridge is expected to build over the western U.S., ushering in drier conditions and warmer temperatures heading into next weekend.

New CBS affiliate will offer local news

CBS programs are moving from WANF to WUPA this week, and the network is building a local news operation to serve viewers of its new affiliate. Why it matters: If you prefer to learn what's happening around town by watching local news stations, you'll have another outlet to add to your roster. The latest: Starting Saturday, WUPA (Channel 69) will become the new CBS affiliate and on Monday, local weather coverage will be broadcast during the "CBS Mornings" show. The station will do a full news launch in September, the company said. Zoom in: CBS Atlanta also unveiled the people who will lead the newsroom. Nichole Green, assistant news director, comes to CBS Atlanta from New York where she was an executive producer. Lea-Anne Jackson, a news veteran who has been with WUPA for five years, will be the station's creative service director. Alex Sanz is the station's managing editor. Before that, he worked with the AJC and the Associated Press. Troy Bridges will transition from CBS Detroit to be the Atlanta station's meteorologist and will make his debut Monday. What they're saying: CBS Stations president Jennifer Mitchell said the outlet is hiring a team with deep ties to the Atlanta area. "They're here to listen, serve and tell stories that matter," Mitchell said in a news release. Catch up quick: CBS Atlanta last week announced its senior leadership team, including Tom Canedo, president and general manager; Shawn Hoder, vice president of news; and Barbara Roeder, vice president of sales. "Our team reflects the energy and authenticity of this city," Canedo said. "We're committed to solutions journalism that informs, inspires and holds the powerful accountable – a station built for and with Atlanta."

Rapidly growing fire prompts thousands of evacuations in California

A fierce wildfire north-west of Los Angeles prompted evacuation orders for thousands of residents on Friday, as extreme heat and dry conditions fuelled its rapid spread. The blaze, named the Canyon Fire, ignited on Thursday afternoon along the border of Ventura and Los Angeles counties. By Friday evening, it had expanded from 30 acres to nearly 5,400. The fire has been partially contained, with 28% of its perimeter under control late on Friday, officials said, and evacuation orders were reduced to warnings. On Friday night, a firefighter suffered major injuries when their truck rolled over a ridge and down a steel hillside, CBS, the BBC's US media partner, reported. While extreme heat and dry conditions had been complicating firefighting efforts, on Friday night, Ventura county said in a statement that "favourable weather conditions" had allowed firefighters to make "good progress in supressing the blaze." There were still some 400 firefighters battling the flames on Friday evening. The fire remains active and is spreading east toward Castaic in Los Angeles County, authorities said. With the temperatures forecast to soar to 100°F (37.7°C) in the coming days, residents are being urged to stay on alert. In the city of Santa Clarita, one of the closest to the blaze, residents have been told to stay away from fire-affected areas. "If you're in Santa Clarita, Hasley Canyon, or Val Verde, take evacuation orders seriously - when first responders say GO, leave immediately. Keep aware - please don't risk lives," LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger wrote on X on Friday. The Canyon Fire is one of several active wildfires across the state, according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). The Gifford Fire, the largest active blaze in California, has engulfed almost 100,000 acres and is burning across the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. Wildfires have become more frequent in California, with experts citing climate change as a key factor. Hotter, drier conditions have made fire seasons longer and more destructive. In January this year, the Eaton Fire tore through the Altadena neighbourhood just north of Los Angeles, killing at least 31 people and destroying thousands of structures.
