Here are the top four stories in Lakewood today:

1. Local temperatures are forecasted to reach the 80s this week, breaking records for early April. Since the heat is expected to be met with high winds, specific parts of Colorado are under fire watch warnings for Tuesday. (9 News)
2. As spring approaches, highways will see more motorcyclists. It is important to remember that lane splitting is not only highly dangerous, but also illegal in the state of Colorado. Lane splitting occurs when a motorcycle drives in between two lanes of traffic. (Fox 31)
3. Pinemelon, a grocery delivery service that prioritizes small local farms, is celebrating one year in business. The company is based in Denver and provides the area with fresh produce through a creative business-model. (Fox 31)
4. A study has found that increased tourism in Colorado has killed much of the state's squirrel population. Primarily, this is due to increased road-kill. (Fox 31)
