around kickoff low to mid-40s, a few light rain showers developing and then we're in the 30s by the end of game with snow developing. it will be a tricky forecast tomorrow and it's all debate the timing of the cold front. 50s and 60s for the eastern plains, 30s and 40s for the higher elevations. for sunday we drop down into the 40s with that front coming through, and rain and snow developing. a few of those could hang in for the monday morning drive. monday will be colder, just 34 degrees. it's a rebound back into the 40s for tuesday, and near 50 for wednesday. >> we've got saturday. thank you. i won't be doing anything outside but you can. a new medical clinic is open in aurora but don't ask to see the doctor. it's run entirely by nurse practitioners. it promises quality care in a

>> reporter: how dumb are we? almost 10% of college grads think judge judy serves on the supreme court. just like the time an earthquake shook her courtroom, the thought that college grads think judge judy sits on the supreme court sent shock waves through society. the statistic came after a survey of a thousand college grads done for a report called a crisis in civic education. maybe the grads fell for lie witness news. >> what do you think about president obama's decision to point judge judy to the supreme court? >> it's a publicity stunt. >> she gangster. you got to give her that. >> reporter: it inspired tweets like you raised stupid kids. but college grads may not be as

welcome back this saturday morning. the search is on for the driver involved in a hit-and-run that happened last night near federal and alameda. police say a white volkswagen hit someone and there is no description of the driver. the broncos are hosting to new england patriots at 10:5 p.m. here on cbs 4 tomorrow. the broncos are underdogs with a 3-point spread but the pats don't have the best record in the mile high city, 0-2 in postseason games. coming up, how sports authority field is preparing for possible harsh conditions. the east coast is dealing with wild winter weather.

square, where you can see a lot of snow. the storm was officially declared a blizzard about 30 minutes ago. the area could get 18 inches of snow by tomorrow morning. washington, d.c. could get up to 2 feet of snow by tomorrow, which could be one of biggest storms in the city's history. take a look at this picture from space of the storm. this is the view from the international space station. closer to home, chris is up on the roof for us this morning. you can see your breath up here but really the temperatures aren't too bad. it could be much colder for this time of the month of january. take a look at this picture i got this morning on facebook out of commerce city. mother nature is by far a broncos fan.

sunrise as the sun came up a little bit ago. temperatures this morning pretty mild. our weather watchers in green mountain just 38 degrees. we have 33 at the airport officially, 32 in boulder and get up high, it will be colder, teens and 20s with temperatures below zero in gunnison and alamosa. these temperatures are closer to where we should be for the high this time of year, in the 30s and lower 40s already across the denver metro. this is how the day will time this afternoon. it may not feel as warm as it did yesterday because we expect day. we have moisture coming in ahead of tomorrow's cold front and could get a beautiful mountain wave cloud this afternoon along the front range. i think the winds will pick up a little, too.

in about 8 minutes. new this morning, be sure to check your fridge because several salad packages are under recall after they could be linked to a deadly listeria outbreak. one person has died and several others have been made sick. it was sold under several brand names and the manufacturing code begins with the letter a. developing now, thousands missing from the athletic program at one denver public school. an investigation found there's no evidence of theft. back in october, the athletic director of the far northeast athletic division called the district, saying $4,000 in cash was stolen. the district and police opened up an investigation. the district says they found issues and their policy was not followed. now parents are mad the money they raised could possibly be stolen.

people struggle to pay a $10 pay to play fee. >> the athletic director and assistant resigned. no criminal charges have been filed. now to the latest on plans to expand i-70 through denver. a new report says it could be one of the most wasteful projects in the country. the $1 billion project would expand i-70 from i-25 east to tower road. the money could be put to better use, say some. >> they want to widen it from six to ten lanes and we think that's a bad idea. >> reporter: that's what the colorado research group calls the billion dollar i-70 project. >> they're going to waste taxpayer dollars to the tune of $58 million. >> reporter: he claims more people in colorado are not

other options. >> they're going to waste taxpayer dollars at a time we could use it more efficiently. >> the fact is we're a high gross state. >> reporter: the expansion project could be the right way to deal with i-70 traffic. >> if we don't do anything, it's going to take 60 minutes to drive 10 miles. >> reporter: as the city grows, so does the highway. >> it's not handling the traffic we have today, let alone the growth we'll have in the next few years. >> there are three hearings scheduled in february. in 2017. also this morning, we want to see your broncos spirit. a lot of people are sending us

randy and his family giving the mile high salute. pup. and crested butte resort sent us this photo of their mascot bubba. now we have a preview of the big game. i don't think anybody is expect to go broncos to blow out the patriots on sunday but if they can keep it close, they have a chance. they have tied the nfl record with 10 wins by a touchdown or less this year and in three of touchdowns. they were down 14 to the chiefs, patriots and bengals this year, and came back in all of those games to win. >> we're battle tested. believe me. we're battle tested. there's times offensively we're like, what are we doing? but we just fight and we grind.

we just stick with it. we don't look at the scoreboard till all the zeros are up there. as long as the scoreboard is ticking, we got a chance. that's how we feel.

after the game sunday night. winds could be an issue tomorrow, 10 to 15 miles an hour and shifting through the game as the front comes through. we'll go from the 40s to the 30s as the game goes on with light precipitation developing. another mild day, 50s and 60s on the eastern plains. 55 in denver will feel cooler because of winds picking up, 30s and 40s for the higher elevation. tomorrow is the day of change. degrees. we could start off with flurries. monday not bad and we're back to where we are today with temperatures near 50 by wednesday. a new kind of thrift store is opening, called peak thrift by urban peak of denver. tell us about the store.
