A small grass fire near Gunbarrel forced some neighborhood evacuations Tuesday, April 19, 2022.

This April is one of the driest on record so far, dating back to 1880, according to Denver7 Chief Meteorologist Mike Nelson. He joined us for our regular conversation about the interplay between weather and climate in Colorado. And, as the wildfire danger continues, so does the outlook for warm and dry weather.
