DENVER — Denver7 Chief Meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo and Colorado Public Radio host Ryan Warner sit down for their March 2026 climate conversation.

In this month's talk:

  • Colorado's sweltering heat during what is typically its snowiest month and the record-breaking temperatures Denver saw over the course of several days.
  • What the return of El Niño could mean for Colorado during the 2026-2027 winter season as the state grapples with its lowest snowpack in nearly 40 years.
  • What's in store for the summer as red flag warnings become the norm and why people should take these warnings more seriously when they're issued by weather forecasters.
