Transportation | New CDOT travel app aims to make navigating Colorado road closures, winter conditions easier

Free cotrip planner app integrates real-time information on iphone and android devices.

Navigation apps are hardly novel, but the Colorado Department of Transportation says its new offering for smartphones has something that Google Maps and others often lack: Real-time road information — direct from the source — that’s particularly vital for winter mountain driving on Interstate 70 and beyond.

The free COtrip Planner app, which launched Oct. 1 in the Apple and Android app stores, adapts the same road-condition and closure information that CDOT long has provided via its COtrip.org website . The website also has a more user-friendly refresh, and both integrate Google’s recognizable mapping interface as their backbones, with CDOT live conditions available as overlays.

The COtrip changes were the result of a $2.1 million state contract that also included an upgrade of CDOT’s Advanced Traffic Management System. That system feeds live data to its operations centers and plays a key role in management of highway incidents.

App users can plot out driving routes and see traffic buildups, weather conditions affecting travel, construction projects and partial or full road closures — along with stretches where chain laws are in effect. A “trucker mode” shows information specialized for big-rig drivers.

The app’s “TellMe” function allows hands-free use, with the app announcing upcoming conditions and incidents along the route or in the area. The app also allows users to view live road cameras on CDOT’s network across the state.

A drawback is that live road information is available only for state and federal highways, not local roads.

Later this fall, CDOT says, winter-specific features will be added including weather alerts and a snowplow tracker. While turn-by-turn directions aren’t yet available, CDOT says that function is expected in a future update.

The COtrip app enters a field that’s been dominated for years by Colorado-specific travel apps developed by private companies that incorporate road information provided publicly by CDOT. But while some of those stay up to date, others have sputtered or been neglected, making them unreliable.

One app by a private developer is called CDOT Colorado Road Conditions and costs $2.99 on the Apple App Store. Department spokeswoman Stacia Sellers said it has no official connection to CDOT, despite the name.

Great App… BUT

We love this app, and use it all the time! It only has one MAJOR thank you flaw! The colors on the map for road conditions are to close, and therefore, are very hard to distinguish, especially for those with vision issues. Please fix this and choose bright colors that are very different from each other for each of the road conditions. If that is done, this app immediately becomes a 5 Star App! Until then, it gets a three… Barely!

Developer Response ,

Thank you - we appreciate your comments! This feedback is helpful as we continue to improve our system.

Front Range/ West Side Story

COTrip. Org is my go to whether planning a trip or for a last minute run to Denver International Airport. Having to cross the Rockies over a high pass and a tunnel/ pass does make it interesting. Not to mention that the drive takes you through very popular ski areas (cross roads to even more of them and other outdoor destinations,) and it’s the heart of the commercial route from the eastern and western part of our nation. For all of these reasons and because of our extreme weather I use the CO trip website (and the the trip planner, now!) There have been times that weather has caused delays but we have the resource in this service to make informed decisions and arrive to our destination safely, albeit a little late. Other road conditions and closures can be monitored on the maps many layers, as well as, on cameras along the route. For all these reasons COTrip is a godsend and a very import state service. Add a thermos of coffee and appropriate sound track and I’m ready to go.

Two levels of terrible

There are two levels of terrible here. One is the app itself. The user interface designers made inexplicable choices. More importantly, CDOT’s data flow into this system makes the app mostly worthless. The timeliness, quality, and quantity of information CDOT feeds into the system of their lit road information signs, website, and app means that even a finely polished app would be useless. I get it. It’s challenging. CDOT is one thing, local dispatch another, reality on the ground yet a third. But CDOT is mostly useful as an agency for awarding various contracts (including to make an app). The actual value added by, say, having employees who can use their creativity and skills to integrate these data streams better to make CDOT’s road information system better, is close to 0. Don’t worry – CDOT can award a contract for that (to someone who doesn’t really get it).

Hi! Thank you for your comments - we are sorry to hear that your experience using the COtrip app has been a terrible one. We'd love to learn more about how you are using the app so we can get you the information you need. Please reach out to [email protected] if you are willing to chat.

National Weather Service launches new website for water prediction and products

The National Weather Service (NWS) is introducing the new National Water Prediction Service (NWPS), transforming how water resources information and services are delivered, and providing a greatly improved user experience through enhanced displays. (Image credit: NOAA)

NOAA’s National Weather Service launched a new website today: The National Water Prediction Service . This new hub for water data, products and services combines local and regional forecasts with water data and new national level capabilities, such as flood inundation maps and the National Water Model.

"This online water hub is modern and flexible — providing information to help our partners and the public make sound decisions for water safety and management," said Ed Clark, director of NOAA’s National Water Center. “The new site leverages modern software, geospatial technology and cloud infrastructure, vastly improving the customer experience before, during and after extreme water events such as floods and droughts.”

Key features integrated into the National Water Prediction Service website

• A new, dynamic and seamless national map with flexible options and expansive layers available to help analyze water conditions anywhere in the country.
• Improved hydrographs that are frequently updated, depict water level observations over the past 30 days and provide river flood forecasts up to 10 days in advance. 
• The National Water Model , which provides 24 hour coverage, seven days a week hydrologic forecast guidance along 3.4 million river miles across the U.S., including river segments, streams and creeks that have no river gauges.
• Real-time, comprehensive Flood Inundation Maps, which are being implemented in phases, will cover nearly 100% of the U.S. by October 2026.
• An Application Programming Interface (API) has been added to the traditional geographic information system (GIS) data, which will allow customers to flow water information into their own applications and services.

NWS continues to improve the essential support services it provides to communities locally and nationwide as part of its transformation into a more nimble, flexible and mobile agency that works hand-in-hand with decision makers. The National Water Prediction Service website provides tools that deliver actionable hydrologic information across all time scales to address the growing risk of flooding, drought and water availability, and enables partners and the American public to make smart water decisions.

D.C.-area forecast: Cool and gusty today ahead of a warm-up into next week

* Wind advisory until 6 p.m. for most of the area *

Today’s daily digit

A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.

7/10: Cool and windy. 60s in the afternoon sun isn’t too bad.

Express forecast

• Today: Turning sunnier. Windy. Highs: Low to mid-60s.
• Tonight: Mainly clear. Lighter winds. Lows: 42-48.
• Tomorrow: Partly sunny. Highs: Mid-70s to around 80.

Forecast in detail

Today’s on the cool and windy side. With that in mind, increasing sun and afternoon temperatures in the 60s is far from the worst springtime weather. Once we are past today, we have about six days of real warmth ahead. Highs should even flirt with 80 on a few occasions.

Today (Saturday): Remaining clouds and a couple showers are still exiting the region this morning, but sunshine takes over as winds remain gusty. It may be a struggle to the mid-60s in the afternoon, which would be a touch below average. Winds blow from the west and northwest around 20 to 25 mph, with gusts around 40 mph and higher in elevated areas west. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: Mainly clear conditions last through the night. It’s on the cool side, with lows probably ranging throughout the 40s. Winds will die off pretty quick after sunset. Confidence: Medium-High

Follow us on Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram for the latest weather updates. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend …

Tomorrow (Sunday): High pressure takes over and sunshine will be the rule. As warmer air surges into the area, afternoon temperatures should reach the mid-70s to around 80. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow night: Skies should end up partly cloudy on the whole. There is an outside chance some showers or a storm work in from the north and northwest. Lows probably range across the 50s. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead

Mainly sunny to start the workweek Monday . It’s right around 80 in the immediate area, with upper 70s more likely farther north and west. Confidence: Medium-High

If you like the forecast for Monday, you’ll also enjoy Tuesday . Mainly to partly sunny skies should dominate, although a small shower chance may arrive by sunset. Otherwise, highs in the mid- 70s to around 80 should do it most spots. Confidence: Medium

Updated: Thursday, April 11, 8:11 a.m. ET: First-round tee times are set to begin at 10:30 a.m. off the first tee due to overnight and morning rain.

After a morning of monitoring strong storms that have affected states from Texas to Florida, Masters officials announced the gates will open to the patrons at 9:30 a.m., and honorary starters Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson will tee off at 10:10, followed by the first tee time in the 89-player field, Jake Knapp and Erik van Rooyen at 10:30.

According to weather.com, thunderstorms are possible around 8:30 a.m., with potentially strong, gusty winds.

Updated: Thursday, April 11, 7 a.m. ET: First-round tee times will be delayed at least an hour because of morning rain. "We continue to monitor the weather closely," read a post from the tournament on X. "Gate openings and tee times have been delayed until further notice. The first round will not begin before 9 a.m."

"All Masters free parking will be closed until further notice while gate openings are delayed. Further updates will be shared no later than 5 a.m. via Masters.com and social channels."

Updated: Wednesday, April 10 10 a.m. ET: AUGUSTA, Ga. – The first round of the 88th Masters Tournament could be affected by inclement weather as dangerous conditions are predicted to arrive early Thursday.

There’s a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms prior to 1 p.m., with wind gusts of 40-45 mph between 8 a.m. ET and noon. That would create potentially dangerous conditions and push back tee times, possibly bringing Friday into play for the conclusion of Round 1.

Last year’s Masters was also affected by weather, with second-round play pushed to Saturday and third-round play pushed to Sunday, when eventual winner Jon Rahm and co-runner-up Brooks Koepka played 30 holes.

Severe weather began slamming the southern United States on Tuesday night, continued into Wednesday and was expected to reach the Augusta area first thing Thursday.

According to the Masters Tournament weather update:

“A cold front is forecast to bring a band of rain and scattered thunderstorms through the region between 6 a.m.-1 p.m. ET Thursday. Heavy rainfall and occasional wind gusts of 40-45 mph are anticipated over this period. A lull in precipitation should occur behind the cold front between 1-4 p.m. ET before scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms drift back into the region for the late afternoon and evening hours.

“Windy conditions persist Friday under mostly sunny skies as a dry and stable airmass settles into the area. Mostly sunny skies can be expected through the weekend with west to southwesterly winds in the 7-15 mph range.”

• Thursday: Mostly cloudy with a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms prior to 1 p.m. ET. Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms after 4 p.m. Forecast rainfall: 1-1 1/2 inches. Wind gusts of 40-45 mph between 8 a.m.-noon. Low: 65F High: 77F Winds: S shifting SW 15-25; gusts 30-35 mph.
• Friday: Mostly sunny and windy. Noticeably less humid. Low: 54F High: 72F Winds: W 15-20; gusts 30 mph.
• Saturday: Mostly sunny and warm. Low: 49F High: 78F Winds: WNW turning W 7-15 mph.
• Sunday: Mostly sunny and warm. Low: 53F High: 84F Winds: W turning SW 7-15 mph.

The Masters has dealt with its share of weather conditions in recent years. The final round of Tiger Woods’ iconic 2019 victory came hours earlier than scheduled to avoid impending storms. Last year’s leaders played 30 holes on Sunday as storms wiped out much of the third round.

This year’s Masters is largely devoid of rainy conditions, with Thursday as the lone exception. According to the official Augusta National weather forecast, there is an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday, with an expected rainfall of 1.00-1.50 inches.

“Isolated light showers are possible Tuesday and Wednesday before rain and thunderstorms arrive early Thursday and continue throughout the morning hours. A cold front is expected to pass through in the early afternoon, with diminishing precipitation chances for the remainder of Thursday. Thunderstorm wind gusts of 40-45 mph will be possible,” the official forecast stated.

Conditions are expected to clear up by Thursday afternoon and stay dry through the rest of the tournament. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of the official Augusta National weather forecast:

• Monday: Mostly sunny. Low: 48F High: 79F Winds: S 7-10 mph
• Tuesday : Cloudy with a 25% chance of light showers. Low: 58F High: 77F Winds: SSE 5-10 mph
• Wednesday : Cloudy with a 20% chance of light showers during the day and a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms after midnight. Low: 62F High: 80F Winds: S-SE 10-15, gusts up to 20 mph
• Thursday : Mostly cloudy with an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Windy. Forecast rainfall: 1.00-1.50” Low: 65F High: 78F Winds: S shifting SW 15-20 gusts up to 30 mph
• Friday : Mostly sunny and windy; noticeably less humid. Low: 56F High: 73F Winds: WNW 15-20 gusts up to 30 mph
• Saturday : Mostly sunny and warm. Low: 50F High: 78F Winds: WNW turning W 7-12 mph
• Sunday*: Mostly cloudy. Low: 61F: High 82F Winds: SW 6-13 mph, gusts of 17 mph

Masters weather: What's the forecast for Saturday's third round at Augusta?

Wind has impacted the 2024 Masters and the weather could continue to affect golfers in the third round on Saturday.

Thursday's opening round was delayed due to a weather advisory in the area. Bryson DeChambeau finished the day in the lead with a score of 7 under and Jason Day was a hot topic on X, formerly Twitter, for his MC Hammer pants that blew in the wind.

DeChambeau is still tied for the lead after play Friday, which was another windy day at Augusta. He enters the weekend knotted with Scottie Scheffler and Max Homa at 6 under.

The weather can greatly affect play. Wet conditions make the greens soft resulting in lower scores while dryness can make the greens tight, leading to smoother surfaces for the ball to roll more quickly.

How will the weather affect the third round of the Masters?

Here's the latest forecast for Saturday at Augusta:

Masters weather forecast: Saturday at Augusta

Saturday's weather forecast is projected to be sunny with a high of 76 degrees, according to AccuWeather . The site says it will be "a great day for golf."

There is zero percent chance of precipitation after a few days with the threat of rain.

The wind will also be tamer with a speed of nine miles per hour from the west.

Storms hug the coast this weekend

Outdoor plans are in jeopardy on Saturday in both the Northeast and in the West. Out east, storms are impacting the Northeast , and it is likely to be a blustery weekend from the mid-Atlantic to New England following a wet week in parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia . Sunday, the focus shifts to a severe weather threat across Pennsylvania and into Ohio.

On the other coast, California endures yet another wet weekend with up to an inch of rain in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles basin along with the potential for strong thunderstorms. San Francisco has yet to go more than 9 days without rain since the start of November.

Storm attention shifts to the middle of the nation next week

We're still watching for the development of a classic Plains high-end severe weather and tornado event that is in the forecast to kick off next week. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center is highlighting parts of the Plains in a Level 3 out of 5 severe weather risk with Oklahoma City and Wichita , Kansas in the heart of the threat. Thunderstorms are likely to develop Monday afternoon and bring potential for tornadoes , very large hail and damaging winds.

A mix of spring weather to create challenging driving conditions this weekend

Winter travel alert.

Statewide - A spring mix of sunshine on Saturday, March 2, and snow on Sunday, March 3 will cause increased traffic as folks head up to the high country to take advantage of both a bluebird day as well as fresh snow. Motorists should be prepared for traffic delays and metering at the Eisenhower Johnson Memorial Tunnels and adjust departure times accordingly. Heavy mountain snow and strong winds are expected to produce difficult travel in the mountains Saturday evening through Monday morning. Snowfall amounts of 8 to 15 inches are possible along with significant blowing snow.

Motorists should be prepared for slick conditions through the mountains and should ensure their vehicles are prepared for winter weather conditions, including making sure their tires will pass Traction Law requirements. Visibility may be greatly reduced due to blowing snow. Travelers are strongly encouraged to drive for the conditions including reducing speed and allowing for ample space between their car and the one ahead of them.

Those headed up to the high country should consider taking one of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s bus services. CDOT’s Snowstang can transport weekend goers to Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Loveland Ski Area and Steamboat Springs. CDOT’s Pegasus shuttle service can take folks from Denver’s Union Station to Idaho Springs, Frisco, Vail and Avon. Bustang can also take travelers from Denver to Grand Junction and from Denver to Crested Butte with various stops along the way.

With winter weather in the forecast, motorists should be sure to download the free COtrip Planner app to get the latest updates on road conditions and closures. Motorists should be prepared for the chance of closures and pack extra blankets, clothing, food, water and entertainment. CDOT maintenance crews will be out ahead of the storm to prep various highways that are predicted to be impacted by winter weather. Crews will be working diligently to clear the roadways of snow and ice until the roads are clear. Motorists are urged to have patience around our plow operators and never pass plows on the right.

Winter Travel Tips for Motorists

• Avoid or limit driving during the brunt of the storm. Many areas of the state will experience pavement impacts and blowing snow due to strong winds.
• Work from home if you can.
• If you plan to travel, know before you go by checking out the latest weather conditions and visiting COtrip.org for road conditions (see info sources below).
• Make sure your vehicle is winter ready with the appropriate tires for the weather and have a snow emergency kit.
• Once you are out on the road, take it slow, no sudden stops and leave plenty of following distance.
• Give plows space! Stay back three to four car lengths from snow plows.

Safety Closures

A safety closure is a precaution taken during inclement weather to reduce the probability of traffic incidents, increased congestion or other safety-related factors. During a safety closure, traffic may be stopped on the interstate, turned around or directed to an exit. Safety closures help decrease delay times, and, above all, keep travelers safe.

Chain & Traction Laws

When weather conditions warrant, CDOT will activate the Traction Law. If weather conditions deteriorate, CDOT will activate Chain Laws for passenger and commercial vehicles. Motorists will be alerted to an active Traction or Chain Law by highway signage, COtrip.org and traffic/roadway condition alerts. For more information on the Traction Law and Passenger Vehicle Chain Law requirements, visit codot.gov/travel/winter-driving/tractionlaw . For more information on the Commercial Vehicle Chain Law requirements, visit codot.gov/travel/colorado-chain-law . To learn more and view helpful tips for winter driving, visit winter.codot.gov .

COtrip.org & COtrip Planner App

If motorists must head out during this winter storm, they are urged to visit COtrip.org and download the COtrip Planner app ahead of time. Motorists are now able to sign up for travel alerts through COtrip.org to see if there are any highway closures or impacts along their favorite routes. The COtrip Planner app also offers a “Trip Planner” feature that allows motorists to map out their routes and receive updates about road closures or incidents along the way. Motorists can turn on the “Hands-Free, Eyes Free” feature to receive these alerts via voice notifications and avoid routes with impacts.

The free C Otrip Planner mobile app was designed to meet the growing trend of information on mobile and tablet devices for the traveling public. The COtrip Planner app provides statewide, real-time traffic information, and works on mobile devices that operate on the iOS and Android platforms. Visit the Google Play Store (Android devices) or the Apple Store (iOS devices) to download!
