and houses. the national weather service is trying to confirm if a tornado hit in the pensicola area. just horrible stuff happening there. >> it was terrible yesterday. now a lot of that is shifting up into the northeast and east coast and some other areas dealing with bad weather as well. outside for us we have beautiful conditions here in the denver area, gorgeous clear skies. i think i looked outside to see if i could find any clouds and there's one right outside my window but other than that, it's been tough to find. it's really gorgeous outside. however, on the eastern plains it is very gusty outside so as we take a look out east all the way from denver where winds are about 22 miles per hour out to the eastern plains where we have gusts close to 40 miles an hour in akron and ray, limon and burlington also gusty. dia, southeast aurora and hour here. strasburg into parts of fort morgan 20 to 30 miles per hour. foothills gusty winds too.

beautiful day in store except for that wind out on the eastern plains and then overnight tonight we have a few clouds, tomorrow morning maybe wake up to a couple up here across the front range and then mostly sunny skies again tomorrow with temperatures around where we are at today so looking at our highs for today, we have 51 expected here in denver, 54 in greeley, 40s, 50s out on the eastern plains, our southeastern corner remains our warm spot with lots of upper 50s in the mountains, 20 in steamboat today, 32 in frisco and 44 over in grand junction. if you're planning out the rest of your day, sunshine here in denver, 50 degrees right around 3:00, 47 by 5:00 and really statewide we are going to be sunny so it's not like one area is getting rain and the others aren't. just nice and dry for everyone. in the 50s again tomorrow, by friday we are in the upper 50s, it should be a beautiful day on friday. saturday we warm up quite a bit. we get to the upper 60s but it will get a bit windy around here, so the next five, six days are looking to be dry and fairly calm except for some winds. >> that looks very nice, thank you, lauren. most people see this as a

plains right now, winds 30 to 40 miles an hour, gusty in the high country as well and don't forget we have a red flag warning. and we want to update people on our breaking news out of park county. we understand one deputy is shot and killed, this incident involved at least three other park county deputies. the suspect was also shot and killed. let's go out live now to the scene right now where people are giving us an update and before we do that, we are going to take a look here at a us. he just got to the scene and he is reporting that the road here is closed at pine just before iris and let's listen into what they are saying on this deputy shot and killed in bailey. >> explain about what we know. at about 9:30 this morning, three members of the park county sheriff's office went to a home in the friendship ranch subdivision to serve an eviction notice when they were confronted by a subject who was armed.

there were three members of the park county sheriff's office that were hit. one of those deputies lost his life. an 11-year member -- i'm sorry -- a 10-year member of the force up here. another deputy was shot. he was taken to saint anthony's central hospital for life threatening injuries. he is currently in surgery at this time and then a third member of the park county sheriff's office was shot, nonlife threatening injuries but still transported to saint anthony's for treatment. the sheriff has requested the assistance of the colorado bureau of investigation. members of our investigation section as well as our crime scene response unit have responded to the scene. there's also tremendous support from the jefferson county sheriff's office. they have members of their staff here ready to lend support in addition to assisting crime scene and

providing patrol duties in the area, obviously, this is very taxing on the park county sheriff's office on their resources, they are providing additional patrol duties in the area. they have also sent in the jefferson county bomb squad along with the sheriff's office s.w.a.t. team. the jefferson county regional s.w.a.t. team to provide assistance at the scene. that is in an aburned dance of caution to -- abundance of caution to make sure everybody responding to that area is safe. we had opportunity to sit down with the sheriff just a few minutes ago and obviously while he was seemingly very upset, he is in full support of his team and providing just amazing leadership at this very difficult time. as we give this presser, he is headed down the mountain to st. anthony's hospital where he is going to be with the family of the member of the park county sheriff's office who was shot during the incident. very strongly he felt that he needed to be there with them so he is going to stay with them for a while and then he's going

we are going to hopefully have a briefing a little bit later where the sheriff will be with us but please understand that's a very fluid situation. his concern right now is for his deputies, his staff and, of course, the community and so what he would want us to relay is this, it is a dark day and he would ask for prayers and thoughts and just focusing everything you have on support of the park county sheriff's office. >> we will start here with anastasia. we don't have a lot of information on the suspect. we have a number of investigators that are processing the scene and that's a lot of the work that's going to be done this afternoon. we want to learn why, the ins and outs of what happened during that eviction process and the circumstances surrounding that.

>> we don't have specific information we want to ensure we are using all the resources at the ready. >> you don't have the name of the suspect? >> we do not at this point we are still sorting through that once we get confirmation we will be sure to relay that. >>reporter: on the scanners when responding law enforcement said he was quote unquote a survivalist. >> i cannot confirm radio chatter at this point it is very preliminary in this investigative process and it would be unfair to comment on preliminary information. we will hold on that that is certainly a party as part of this investigation we will relate that. >>reporter: deputies?
