Drought conditions improve in Northern Colorado, but Western Slope still struggling
CBS
Unfortunately, the rest of the state didn't fare as well. Portions of the Western Slope, including Mesa, Delta, and Montrose counties, are still under extreme drought conditions.

With the rainfall we've already seen this month — nearly an inch in the first four days of June — we've picked up close to half the precipitation we typically see for the entire month.

Looking ahead, the Climate Prediction Center's long-range outlook is signaling a potential shift to a drier weather pattern for northeastern Colorado, the plains and the Front Range during the core summer months — June, July, and August.

Stockton Emergency Food Bank hit with fourth fire in just weeks
A fire has hit the Stockton Emergency Food Bank for the fourth time in roughly three weeks, crippling their operations. The Stockton Fire Department said flames from a grass fire spread to the building, burning a building as well as a storage crate and cardboard boxes in the loading area. The initial call came in around 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Dr. Leonard Hansen, CEO of the food bank, says this is a gut punch to their daily operations. He's trying to figure out a way to clean this all up, get necessary and useful equipment cleaned and sanitized, and then still be up in the morning and hand out the food they give to families. Hansen said the food bank expects about 500 cars every single day. That includes people who need the food and 107 other sites and organizations that rely on the food bank to deliver. For Dr. Hansen and the community, this will be hard to overcome, and he feels that someone did this on purpose. In June, three fires occurred at the food bank within a week. "I can't explain the behavior, but this is not accidental," he said. "How do you take care of the people and the folks who depend on you, so you find a way?" These fires are still under investigation. Hansen says the city will send more engineers in the morning to check on the structure's integrity. During the third fire, surveillance video caught a suspect throwing an incendiary device into a pile of cardboard, burning through a shipping container with thousands of dollars worth of donations. Dr. Hansen says this is especially disheartening for San Joaquin County, which has roughly 83,000 people who are food insecure. Hansen said the food bank serves 88% of those people.
