Fire danger remains high Friday, but will be worst on Saturday #COWx

Extraordinary and prolonged March heatwave to break records and decimate mountain snowpack across U.S. Southwest, including much of California - Weather West March 11, 2026 - Daniel Swain - "Winter" 2025-2026 warmest on record across most of Western U.S., including SoCal & Sierra Nevada Well, now it's official: Winter (Dec-Feb) 2025-2026 was the warmest on record across the majority of the American West, and a top-3 warmest winter nearly everywhere that it didn't quite cinch the record. That includes nearly all of the Colorado #

Weather West update on a prolonged and very likely record-breaking March heatwave in the western U.S. that will begin Thursday in some areas & actually not reach its peak for another 7-10 days in some spots. This forecast is truly extraordinary for March.

In 2025, Trade Deficit in Goods Reached Record High

You're saying that Trump's tariffs not only (1) increased costs on Americans (2) crippled industries that lost export customers, but now also (3) did not work at all and only INCREASED the trade deficit (probably because of 2)?!?

It's almost like Trump is a moron.

Potentially some good news tonight...

Latest short-range models have significantly backed off or completely nixed the mountain wave windstorm tonight. Gusts under 20 MPH in the latest HRRR run in Boulder overnight. Still strong winds in higher Foothills indicated (50-60 MPH).... #COwx
