we have 30s and 40s on the east side of town. way downtown. as it does, it's going to warm everybody up. we'll be in the lower 60s to middle 60s again. 63, 64 degrees. the issue is going to be the wind. you're going to notice it. it's going to get stronger throughout the day. it is also snowing in the mountains. it's hanging right up here along the front range. continental divide. snow also getting hung up on the flat tops and throughout central colorado. most of the northern and central mountain resorts from through summit county, winter park and into the steamboat springs area. for the next couple of hours, we'll start getting everybody into the same areas. we'll end up in the lower 60s. coming up in just a couple minutes, we'll talk about the wind.

turnouts ever. tarhonda thomas is joining me. i guess that's the evidence of a good turnout, tarhonda. >> absolutely. experts thought it could bring out record clouds to caucus in colorado. from the look of things and from the look of people sitting on the floor, they were right. lines stretched around blocks. fort collins, crowds reached such big fire capacity that the fire marshal had to make people leave, and voters decided to caucus outside. it's part of the democratic process. as they spoke up about their candidates, in the end, they gave bernie sanders an edge in colorado. sanders has 58% of the vote. vote. even with the long lines, some participants say the caucusing process wasn't that bad. though it got others thinking about states that hold primaries with ballots and not so large crowds. >> i guess a primary might be

it's interesting to see all these people out. you have conversations with people voting for bernie and for hillary. >> so you might be wondering why we're not mentioning what republican won colorado. no one did. the state party decided not to declare a winner. that means their delegates don't have to be attached to a particular candidate right now. this race is changing minute by minute. maybe that may end up a good thing for them. >> nationally, donald trump and hillary clinton were the big winners for their preponderatetive parties. trump won alabama, arkansas, georgia, massachusetts, tennessee, vermont, and virginia. ted cruz won his home state texas and oklahoma and alaska. marco rubio won the caucuses in minnesota. clinton won in seven states. alabama, arkansas, georgia, massachusetts, tennessee, texas, and virginia. sanders won in his home state

throughout the day and just get stronger and stronger throughout the afternoon. 30-50 mile-per-hour gusts combined with humidity levels going down into the teens this afternoon. it prompted the weather service to issue a red flag warning from the front range and all of eastern colorado from 11:00 this morning to 7:00 this evening. that means if the fire starts, it could have explosive behavior and just take off in the heat, the dry weather, and the wind. greg? >> got to be careful. thank you. a denver city council committee looks into whether or not there are too many marijuana businesses in the city right now. the marijuana moratorium committee is hearing testimony from groups. right now there's a halt to new applications for marijuana business licenses until they can come up with a recommendation. today smart colorado is planning to testify on the impact of marijuana on youth. some big changes to yosemite national park overnight all thanks to a trademark dispute.

blocking anything across the freeway. as marti mentioned, the snow is coming in to the west side and i-70 will be affected. most of that snow fall is coming down near georgetown. we'll see cloud cover. right about now a calm, clear drive as you head up toward i- 70. >> amelia, thank you. while some states have primaries, colorado is unique in that it has a caucus. it's an opportunity for voters to openly talk about their candidates. it appears a lot of people wanted to do some talking last night. huge crowds showed up at caucus sites for the democrats. some saying the experience was inconvenient. others saying they waited as as long as it took. in the end, it led to a win for bernie sanders. i'm in the information center with tarhonda thomas who is breaking down all the results for us this morning. >> cory, we're getting the numbers in.

he has closer to 59%. that's with 98% of the precincts reporting in colorado. hillary clinton still stands at 41% of the vote. a lot of people were very eager to be part of the democratic caucuses, but some got more than they bargained for. >> it definitely seemed like 3,000 people. >> super tuesday created super long lines in colorado. >> we have been here totally now for three hours. >> at east high school, the lines stretched down colfax. fort collins, too many people for the fire capacity. so this caucus was conducted outside. one viewer tweeting in true colorado fashion. experts had predicted that the race between hillary clinton and bernie sanders would bring larger than normal crowds, but it seems to come as a surprise to the state democratic party. >> they probably didn't expect this turnout. seems like they're doing the best they can. >> a rep says the crowds were larger than expected at some places. the wait was worth it for

>> at the end of the day, for those people waiting, that's awesome. they really want to be here. >> and it looks like sanders supporters were crowding in the most their votes and willingness to wait in line put sanders over the top in colorado. >> i'm glad that i can do it. >> while republicans in colorado did caucus, there was no winner. that's because the state republican party decided not to declare one. but there were plenty of big wins on the republican side. >> there were. that's for sure. donald trump's opponents remain determined to stop him, but trump is building steam after his big super tuesday win. trump took seven states, including alabama, arkansas, georgia, massachusetts, tennessee, vermont, and virginia. ted cruz won his home state of texas. that was a big win. he also won oklahoma and alaska. marco rubio won the caucus in minnesota. on the democratic side; hillary clinton won seven states.

massachusetts, texas, and virginia. bernie sanders won his home state of vermont and colorado, minnesota, oklahoma. numbers are still coming in, but at this point, donald trump now has 285 delegates. about 100 behind is ted cruz with 161. marco rubio, 87. that's still short of the more than 1200 needed to win the nomination. so it's not over. neither is this. hillary clinton does have a commanding delegate lead, roughly three times that of bernie sanders at this point. that includes super delegates who are allowed to vote for whomever they wish. they do at this time heavily favor clinton. she's more than a third of the way to the roughly 2400 delegates needed to be the nominee. new yorkers who don't vote may be shamed into casting their ballots. a council member wants to call out new yorker business pointing out how many elections they have missed. if this bill passes, all eligible voters would get a voter history report card

now, if you have recently traveled to a country that has zika, the cdc says go to your doctor and get the test done. they don't charge for testing but offices may charge an administration fee. now, the main concern for zika is for pregnant women. the cdc is testing whether having zika while pregnant could lead to any birth defects. now, the cdc told doctors to test every pregnant woman who has traveled to an infected area regardless if she has symptoms or not. >> they're extremely worried they may have done something they can't undo for their pregnancy. i think what needs to be taken into account is the fact that we don't know enough about it and not everyone that traveled got it. not everyone that gets it has the possibility of transmitting it to our baby. we don't know what those rates and numbers are right now. we can try to help patients watch for it. we don't have a lot that we can

>> that's difficult for many people to hear. there are so many unknowns when it comes to the zika virus. again, it's most commonly spread through mosquito bites. those carrying the virus have not been found in colorado. >> thank you very much. it is 6:40. demonstrators settled in for the night outside the u.s. supreme court. today the justices will debate whether laws restricting abortions for the purpose of promoting women's health is truly in the interest of public health. members of the christian defense coalition held a protest holding up signs, playing music, and singing together. >> we have some breaking business news to tell you about. sports authority has filed for bankruptcy protection. they did so this morning. noting that the company has debts that exceed more than a billion dollars. this is a chapter 11 filing. so the goal is to reorganize

it includes shutting down stores anciling assets. they could shut down all the stores if it does not meet the bankruptcy conditions. it's tough to find a new home around here. the trend is not changing. the numbers of homes available for sale hit a record low at the end of last month. the denver metro association of realtors reports that are only 3,963 active listings in february. that's down 6% from january and off 3% from february of 2015. so as we head into this very busy spring home buying season, expect more bidding wars and higher prices. talk about snow moving over to the east side of the continental divide. this is our webcam at cameron pass. high terrain, larimer county getting good snow at and above the 9,000-foot level. it's coming down over the divide. the main core of the system, as it gets to lower terrain, we'll get a few clouds out of it, but mostly wind.

that's when we'll start to see the wind increase here through the morning. boy, this afternoon, winds are going to be very strong. 30 to 50 mile-per-hour winds. very low humidity over the plains. red flag warning for extreme fire drought from below 6500 feet up and down the front range all the way from new mexico into wyoming and all of the eastern plains. again, fire danger, the big, big hazard for us today. >> isn't that funny. >> warm and dry. >> okay. this is my favorite dr. seuss book. i can read it with my eyes shut. >> we do that in the morning at times. we feel that way at least. >> it is dr. seuss' birthday. so many children, generations have grown up reading these beloved books. we plan to bring our favorites today. i brought a stack. i do love horton hears a who. take care of the world.

the speed on the high side. we're hearing about a possible accident southbound 25 in the area of santa fe. so far the delay is not reflecting too much of an impact here. so that's good news. boy, as marty has been telling us, wind and snow are affecting your highway drive. check this out. all the snow through georgetown and the divide, very windy around breckenridge and frisco. two hands on the wheel. we'll track the travel times for you. it's an annual list that gary strives to make every year. he missed it by this much. i'm talking about the forbes annual list of richest people. cofounder of the dish network is still the weather thinkest person in colorado. estimated 2.2 billion. after ranking the -- up last near when he ranked 33rd in the u.s. fast food giant mcdonald's is rolling out a new promotion

denote cone. super tuesday ended with big wins for hillary clinton colorado. bernie sanders won big here on the democratic side. on the republican side, well, we just don't know. we're joined by our political experts, democrat james mcneil. >> so let's start with the sanders win. it was a big win. it was kind of expected but long lines, lots of energy. colorado goes big for bernie. is it too little too late nationally? >> i think it is. bernie had a great night last night. he had a good night. it allows him to have enough momentum to stay in the race, but in the winner take all states mid-march, he's going to have more problems. the numbers are starting to get so big i'm not sure he can catch hillary at this point. it might be too little too late. >> what do you think the republicans are making of the bern here in colorado?
