Colorado sees blizzard and wildfire warnings amid record-breaking warmth

Colorado has recorded its highest number of 60-degree days in a single winter season, leading to diverse weather challenges across the state, according to NBC9 local news.
Forecasts for Tuesday predict blizzard warnings for mountain regions and extreme fire risk across the Eastern Plains.
The unusual warmth has negatively impacted winter tourism in mountain towns, with some residents calling it the worst ski season in memory.
On the Eastern Plains, fire officials are preparing for dangerous conditions, citing record-low humidity and exceptionally dry fuels, creating a 'perfect recipe for major, major fire behaviour'.
The Denver metro area and Front Range are expected to experience 30-50 mph wind gusts, elevating the risk of grass fires.
