Interactions on facebook in colorado. The 1 thing you can say about the people at the top is some of that is most likely negative interactions as well as supporters. So theres no way to screen for, that but it is showing you where the buzz is and then ted cruz being second in colorado with a little less than 1 million. If you go further down, you have marco rubio in the 300,000 range, so a lot less buzz around the establishment k. S colorado. This still does matter because whats going to happen is republicans will meet in small county conventions. That leads to delegates to the state convention and the opinions they have in the president ial race will matter. So at least we have some sort of metric of the buzz thats going on here.

Com right now, on the homepage you will see rotating in this main explains colorados caucuses. 35 of coloradans cant participate in this process because they are not affiliated with a Major Political party.

At 9 00 and 10 00 well have the results from colorado and the other super tuesday states that are voting tonight. Our independence that makes things interesting down the road.

Out of the roughly 900,000 registered democrats in colorado only about 100,000 are expected to caucus tonight. Got pretty good weather to go door to door. Parts of colorado are looking at increased fire danger, though, with warm and windy conditions out there across our state.

It was a matter of time, the state Health Department confirmed two zika cases have been reported in colorado. Both cases were reported last week. The Health Department says the people infected recently came back from a country affected by zika. The state would not say where they live or where they were treated. Experts say the discovery of zika virus in colorado shouldnt really scare us because the virus was not transmitted in our state. This certainly isnt mosquito season just yet. However, 9news medical expert dr. John torres says we can expect to see additional indications very soon. One of the things you have to remember is they got zika somewhere else and came to colorado, but them coming to warming up and the mosquitoes move into the area, those mosquitoes could get zika from somebody who has it and then transmit it to other people. Zika can cause feverlike symptoms and doctors suspect it is linked to several birth defects. A man is recovering after being hit by a vehicle late last night in fort collins. The man was lying in the southbound lanes of College Avenue near spring park drive. Officers found 53yearold george trailer in the roadway. His injuries were consistent with being hit by a vehicle.

Theres still a lot of snow on the ground, but after all that warm weather, that snow is starting to melt in a lot of places pretty quickly. So we could use a lot more snow. Ski areas around Summit County with an inch or 2 this morning is pretty nice. The state snowpack is right about average right now, but weather watcher rick bly said its only because november and december brought so much snow. In fact, he says the last big snow event around Summit County was back in early february. Without that wed be well behind the curve for snowfall. So more snow is needed because three weeks of warm dry weather is melting that snowpack quickly. We had a really good snow base to start the season with, but the wind and the last three weeks of sun have taken a toll on the snow. Its been so warm weve been losing a lot of snow daily. Predictions out there with el nino that well see a better than average winter as far as april and march go. So the coming months already snowy could see a lot more snow, but, kim, saying that after getting a little bit of snow this morning.

The weather around here has been great lately, but maybe youve got a scratchy sore throat, your nose is running. Allergists say youre not alone and allergy season is just getting started. Right now doctors say some trees like elm and juniper are just beginning to pollinate. Because theyre just beginning to bud and the sap is beginning to flow, thats why youre suffering. One allergist says even if youre not experiencing symptoms, now might be the time to actually start taking medication. Allergy medications work best if taken before the allergic symptoms begin. So theres a little bit of a leap of faith, have to remember what happened the previous the medicines on board to stop allergic reactions is much more effective than trying to deal with allergic reactions once theyre happening. Dr. Dreskin says antihistamine allergy medicines only stop something from happening. They dont reverse the symptoms. Thats why its really important, as they tell you, get ahead of the allergy. Start the medications if your allergies are a seasonal problem. In todays bottom line report youre watching your waistline, paying attention to what you eat.

Reporter myth no. 3, taking out the bad ingredients make a food good for you. Not true. After all, a donut is still a donut whether its gluten free or not. Myth no. 4, hope fat or fat free makes low fat or fat free makes a food healthy.

They were getting in trouble with the law. This is in grand lake. Thank you so much, carol, for sending that in, but yup, beautiful weather. Even the animals are out frolicking around. It is march. Its march. How did that happen . You know, march is usually our snowiest month on average when we see about 11 or so inches of snowfall. The average temperatures start to go up, so the average high is around 52 degrees and spring officially starts on march 20th. Now the temperatures right now are 53 at dia, winds not all that bad out here in the backyard our temperatures at 54 degrees and today was just beautiful. The wind have left, but tomorrow those winds will pick up and well start to see the threat for wildfires across the state of temperatures right now are in the 50s in lower elevations and out on the Eastern Plains<\/a>. High country has 50s and 30s and the western slope has 59 degrees in grand junction. Now the rest of the afternoon mix of clouds and sun, the clouds thickening a bit more around 6 00 and 7 shot clock, but its still going to be 7 00, but its still going to be a very for us. 37 degrees your low, partly cloudy skies and the winds picking up in the foothills. The jet stream now is going over the western half of the to warm up. Tomorrow well have this jet colorado. So those stronger winds aloft will be mixing into lower elevations and thats the reason why well start to see those stronger winds out here in colorado. The Wind Gust Forecast<\/a> that takes us through this evening, tonight those winds in the foothills up to 50 Miles Per Hour<\/a> and then tomorrow morning and afternoon those winds really pick up coming in from the northwest. They could be gusting up to 30, 40 Miles Per Hour<\/a> and even 50 Miles Per Hour<\/a> at times. Thats the reason why were going to have that red flag warning that goes into effect towards the Eastern Plains<\/a>, humidity so low dropping to about 14 . Now that same jet stream that will bring us those stronger winds here on the front range and that red flag warning will also bring a small chance for some light snow showers in our northern mountains. So lets take you through this futurecast. Through tonight youll see the clouds spread onto the front range and Eastern Plains<\/a> but still staying dry, partly cloudy tonight into tomorrow morning. There you see the light snow that develops in our northern and central mountains. We could even see a bit of moisture out towards the Eastern Plains<\/a>, some very light rain certainly not out of the question as this very weak kind of system just tries to make its way over colorado. 65 will be your high for tomorrow. It will be a bit warmer, but the thing we have to watch out for will be those stronger winds. That planning forecast keeps us warm, dry through the weekend. Tomorrow is when those winds will be the most active. Then those winds relax a tad by thursday and friday, but lets just focus on the weekend now, shall we . Those winds return and still a bit breezy on sunday where the temperatures will be at 68 degrees, still a dry weekend. Lets look past that. Its not until next week when we start to see a clung in the weather pattern. Change in the weather pattern. That High Pressure<\/a> ridge in the western parts of the country starts to break down and more moisture starts to move into the state. The start of next week could bring a chance of showers on the front range and snow into the high country. By then, mark, long gone on the slopes. Thats what im hoping. They all say they need a little bit of snow of once i get up there ill be giving your hour by hour reports. Thats great. Youre going to be our good luck charm in the high country. If theres snow on mark, it must be a storm up in the high country, right . Thanks, belen. Sure thing.
