First Alert Meteorologist Callie Zanandrie grew up in Parker, Colorado. In fifth grade, Callie was selected to represent her school, Charles Hay Elementary, as the PBS Channel 6 Kid's Correspondent. It was there she got her first taste of television. She has been hooked ever since! Following her passion for television, Callie studied journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder and meteorology at Mississippi State University.
Callie started interning at Aurora Channel 8 when she was a junior at Ponderosa High School. Callie's first job out of school was at KBCI in Boise, Idaho. From Boise, Callie traded in her hiking boots for flip-flops and moved to Florida to work for WWSB. However, home was calling and after a year Callie moved back to Denver to work at a competitor. Callie also shifted gears for a time from broadcast news into non-scripted television and worked as a producer at High New Entertainment and Double Act Entertainment. Her strong background in editorial storytelling, writing, and shooting allowed for a seamless transition into producing and directing various projects for Travel Channel, Discovery, Weather Channel, HGTV and Animal Planet.
Outside of work, Callie is an outdoors nut who developed a love of the outdoors at a young age. She learned to ski in elementary school and grew up camping frequently. She loves spending her time in nature with her family. You can usually find her skiing, paddleboarding or hiking. She also loves training for and competing in triathlons with her husband.
Callie feels it's her love of the outdoors that allows her to connect with CBS Colorado viewers in her weather forecasts, because she knows how important the weather is if you are planning a hike or if you have an afternoon soccer practice.
Callie lives in Golden with her husband, Joe, their son, Colin, their daughter, Cameron and a golden retriever named Miley.

Saturday we will start out cloudy, but we will see gradual clearing through the day with more sunshine by the afternoon.
A triple threat of cooler temperatures, strong winds and areas of heavy snow over the last few days have boosted the avalanche danger heading into the weekend for some of the states backcountry areas, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
Thursday starts out with a mix of sun and clouds, but by early afternoon rain and snow will spread across Denver and the plains. A few thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening. We've issued a First Alert Weather Day for the cool, wet weather.
We are tracking several days of wet weather and cooler temperatures.
We picked up record rainfall at DIA on Saturday reaching 0.96 inches making Saturday officially the wettest day in Denver in nearly 5 months.

Sunday will be mostly sunny and breezy with daytime highs in the upper 50s and low 60s.
Winds will increase Saturday afternoon with gusts up to 50 miles per hour for the Denver metro area.
Another storm is moving into the high country this weekend, increasing concern for avalanches.
Daytime highs on Sunday will be well above average in the 60s across the Denver metro area, but we're back to winter conditions by Monday night into Tuesday.
The storm system should roll through Colorado Monday bringing snow to the mountains by Monday afternoon with rain to the Denver metro area by Monday evening.
Our first snowstorm for the month of March 2025 is on the way. But first there will be spring-like warmth through the weekend before the change.
Colorado is expecting warmer than average temperatures this weekend and this could lead to an increase in wet avalanche activity.
