🌱 Red Flag Warning + Longest Lunar Eclipse Of 21st Century

Morning, neighbors! It's me again, Amber Fisher, your host of the Denver Daily. I'm bringing you news about local fire danger, a new restaurant, holiday events and the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century.

First, today's weather:

Forecasters say we can expect a warmer day with clouds and sun. High: 53 Low: 38.

Here are the top stories today in Denver:

1. A Red Flag Warning, which let's the public know of dangerous fire conditions, has been issued for parts of Denver's metro area. There will be very dry air in northern Colorado Thursday, with humidity between 5 and 10 percent in the Front Range foothills, weather officials said. (Patch)
2. The A5 Steakhouse is opening its doors today on 15th Street in Denver. The new restaurant features a retro vibe and a menu that aims to be both ethical and delicious. (Westword)
3. Another important opening today: the Cherry Creek Winter Wanderland is back with half a million twinkling lights, a holiday market, a festive bar, a light art installation and 30 local artists and designers selling a range of items. (Denver Patch)
4. The longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century will occur this week, and peak early Friday morning. Our planet will block 98 percent of the sun's light from reaching the moon's surface, washing it in a reddish hue.
5. If you're hoping to support small businesses and local artists this holiday season, look no further than the Horseshoe Holiday Market, which will be open Nov. 27 and 28 in our city's Globeville neighborhood. (Denver Patch)

About me: I'm a Patch editor covering news in Denver's metro area and Boulder. I've spent the past nine years working for various news outlets across North America, including Chicago Patch, Global News and WBEZ. I've covered high-profile court cases, civil rights abuses, mass shootings, natural disasters and major crimes — but also countless happy news stories about kindness, innovation and resilience. When I'm not writing articles, I can be found hiking, snowboarding, debating politics with my husband and attempting to be a sci-fi and astronomy geek.
