Many people are aware that snowpacks - especially in the late spring - can be a key indicator for the sort of wildfire season that could be coming.

Past burns can speed melting by as much as 57 percent, and lead to snow packs disappearing up to three weeks faster. -
KDNK's News Director Morgan Neely has Friday's updates, including a look at how deep snowpack is expected to impact flows into and out of Ruedi Reservoir. -
