Clouds and damp air follow the front, while warm and humid conditions will hold to the south and west. A zone of showers and locally strong to se- vere thunderstorms will reach from coastal Texas to the Great Lakes and the central Appalachians. Some of the storms will bring flash flooding and gusty winds. Some sunshine will hold over much of the Southeastern states and is forecast to return to much of the Plains. Chilly showers will diminish over the Upper Midwest.

Just to the south, some Arizona communities are rationing water because of drought, and to the west, drought-parched California is bracing for another week of hot weather that could fuel more wildfires. Welcome to springtime in the West, where May snowstorms are coinciding with the start to the region's wildfire season — and doing little to alleviate the overall regional drought. Snow Spring is normally the wettest time of year in the Rockies. While snowfall is common in the mountains in May, significant snow- fall at lower elevations like Denver in May only occurs every five or 10 years, Colo- rado state climatologist No- lan Doesken said. Denver got between 4 and 7 inches of typical heavy, wet spring snow. While much of it didn't stick to the warm ground, it weighed down trees just sprouting spring leaves and led gardeners to cover flow- ers and plants with plastic sheets and buckets. A freeze is expected to follow before warmer weather returns Tuesday. Travel The storm shut down In- terstate 80 through south- ern Wyoming and into Ne- braska. Some drivers aban- doned their vehicles while stranded truckers filled up rest area parking lots along the highway, which averages more than 6,000 trucks per day. Snowy conditions ap- pear to have contributed to at least one fatal crash south- west of Denver. The snow caused minimal problems at Denver International Air- port,cancelingabout60ofits 1,600 daily flights and delay- ing both arrivals and depar- turesinthemorning.Theair- port also briefly lost power, stalling some escalators and elevators. Airport spokes- woman Julie Smith said a backup generator spared the airport any major problems. Drought Much of the West remains insomestageofdrought,with the worst conditions in South- ern California and the South- ernPlainsandTexasPanhan- dle. Gusty Santa Ana winds are raising the fire danger in California, where tempera- tures are expected to top 100 degreesindrought-strickenin- landareasthisweek.Awildfire on Sunday on the Panhandle's dry, dusty plains destroyed 75 homes in a mobile home community. Conditions vary greatly within states. While Colorado's overall amount of snow in the mountains — the state'smainwatersupply—is close to average this year, the snowpack in its southwestern corner is way below normal and severe drought continues to afflict farms and ranches in the southeast. Fire officials are predicting a normal wild- fireseasonforColorado,which wouldbeanimprovementover recent years in which blazes have destroyed hundreds of houses.

The Associated Press FRITCH, TEXAS A wild- fire that set a mobile home community in the Texas Panhandle ablaze was mostly contained Monday although some areas con- tinued to smolder, emer- gency officials said. Hundreds of people around Lake Meredith, between the towns of Sanford and Fritch, evac- uated their homes Sunday afternoon as firefighters battled flames and thick plumes of smoke across two miles of dry, dusty plains. Some moved to an ad hoc shelter in a high school gymnasium, oth- ers to the sanctuary of a local church serving the rural communities some 30 miles northeast of Am- arillo. The fire was about 80 percent contained by mid- day Monday with the aid of humidity from storm systems in the area, ac- cording to Jason Wright, Hutchinson County's as- sistant emergency man- agement coordinator. Still, Texas Depart- ment of Public Safety Trooper Chris Ray said 30 mph winds continued to pose a threat to the lake community's 2,100 residents.
