DENVER, C.O.(WNAX)- While this week will be snowy and cold, the longer-range outlooks show more of a mild and dry trend.

Peter Goble, a Colorado State University Climatologist, hosted this months North Central Region Climate update.

Goble says temperatures should moderate over the next few weeks.

Goble says they don’t see a lot of changes into April and May.

Goble says they expect the La Nina to fade away in early summer which may lead to better chances of rain across the northern plains.
