and i'm going to say this, and you would not want me to say this, but this one is for pat! >> oh, we loved that, didn't we? oh, what a moment. broncos tonight words again this morning the dawn of a new day, a new season, a new quarterback against a familiar super bowl rival. good morning, everybody, i'm alan gionet. that huge game tonight coming up. first, though, we have people hit this morning on 56th near pena. want to get right to joel on that. joel, what's up? >>reporter: alan, we've had copter 4 over thi denver police now telling us the two cars involved in an accident, an auto/pedestrian accident which also involves two pedestrians that are in serious condition right now. this has shut down 56th as you get to pena boulevard. traffic along pena boulevard has not been spheacted by this, but if you're trying to get aroundification r56th, you're not going to be able to access on pena blf. probably better to take green valley ranch or 40th to cut across, either side there, instead of 56th avenue.

ware county no audio ] -- [ no audio ] >> thank you. hopefully everyone wears their orange today. it's going to be a sea of orange across colorado today and we really have a perfect day across the state. let's take a look at the broncos forecast. if you're headed out to all the fun downtown, 88 degrees. it's going to be warm this afternoon, kickoff 85 degrees around 6:30 tonight, and then half time 76. so we have a great day for football ahead for us here in denver, and i'll talk about the right now alan, i'll send it back to you. >> lauren, thank you very much. broncos are going to show us what they are made of tonight as they take on the panthers here in our house. here are broncos insiders with a preview. >>reporter: well, don't call it a rematch of super bowl 50, the broncos and panthers set to kick off the 2016 season later today. hello, everyone, alongside mark haas i'm mike spencer. all eyes on the bronco's offense, especially the quarterback position.

i think that puts the pressure on the other guys. the offensive line needs to play well. they need to open up holes for anderson, get that running game going. if that's can happen, it's going to allow trevor more time to throw and get more comfortable in his first game. >>reporter: defensively for the broncos, it's important that they get to carolina's quarterback in cam newton, we saw him in super bowl 50, and i think if they can do that tonight, then they'll have a good shot at winning this game. >>reporter: von miller said this week that carolina plays out there -- he's not going to call it easier than the super bowl, but they expect carolina to execute better than they did back in february, so broncos need to execute better as well. >>reporter: the bottom line is i think everybody is happy football is back and certainly mile high will be rocking later tonight. >> all right, guys, thanks a lot. broncos say you might want to be in your seat at mile high before the pregame entertainment starts at 6:20. that includes a championship celebration, recognizing the

kickoff tonight is set for 6:40. you will find coverage of the game all day long on air right here as well as on cbsdenver.com. weather and traffic, let's get back to it right now as we talk about what's happening. we go to joel first who's sprinting in with the very latest. joel. >>reporter: exactly. trying to run back and forth to our computer there to make sure we got the right graphics for you there. i want to show you again from copter 4. we are learning from police that two pedestrians were involved in this auto/pedestrian accident. it also involved two cars as this has shut down 56th at pena boulevard this morning. so if you're trying to access across or underneath there, pena boulevard, you see that along the upper right hand portion of your screen, you are not able to do that. i do want to mention if you are heading out to the airport this morning, that should not affect the traffic along pena boulevard, but we do expect to see some curiosity slowing as there's going to be a lot of flashing lights in place for quite some time this morning as you're traveling along 56th. let me show you the area that we're talking about on the map and try and get you around

you may have to take green valley ranch boulevard or 40th in order to access underneath pena boulevard, this morning out to tower road or just come straight down to i-70 this morning, but you are not going to be able to access across 56th, at least for the foreseeable future. want to take you out across the denver metro area. unfortunately not our only trouble spot this morning. we've had some pedestrians on the road near colfax and colorado, southbound along i- 225, we have an accident as you get on the approach to i-25. and then we've got an accident along wadsworth at chatfield that does closures in place as well. so, lauren, we continue to watch the situation, 56th shut down at pena, but we got all those other accidents as well. >> it's a mess out there. joel, thank you. temperatures are nice this morning. some places they're a little bit cool. taking a look at temperatures, 51 in denver, 56 in burlington and for colorado springs and pueblo. in the high country 39 in avon, craig just about freezing at 33. 55 over in grand junction. our weather watcher phil curry reporting 51 degrees for us just east of freangtown. he says crystal clear skies out

ranch in commerce city. the men released him. one neighbor says he thinks the kidnapping was over horses. >> there was a dispute over the past couple years of -- between, i guess one family and another family of their horses. >> investigators say they are looking deeper here to see if the horses may have been a front to launder money. officers say dna and cell phone data helped them crack the case. they still want to man, marco tumoura. the man accused of carjacking a northglenn driver, crashing and stealing another vehicle is still on the loose. take a look here. this all started yesterday at 104th and bannick. police say a man tried to steal a van at a best buy. they say he decided to run off and steal another car at knifepoint when the employees got involve. the man crashed, catching another driver by supply. >> i was bleeding and had a black an blue arm, and i hit my head. i was a little dizzy after

probably had a mohawk, as you can tell, and then stole a white dodge pickup and drove off in that. they'd like some tips to hopefully find him. hillary clinton and donald trump return to the campaign trail today after answering some direct questions last night. they took the same stage during a forum in new york, but at different times. an army veteran questioned trump on his immigration policy for military members. >> do you believe that an undocumented person who serves -- who wants to serve in the u.s. armed forces stay in this country legally? >> that's a very special situation, and i could see myself working that out, absolutely. >> trump also said he did not want to broadcast his specific plans when asked about what what he'd do about isis. clinton who appeared on stage first, spent much of the night defending herself against her e- mail problems. >> i communicated about classified material on a wholly separate system.

appearances in both north carolina and missouri today. donald trump heads to cleveland, ohio. nasa right now getting ready for a big asteroid sampling mission tonight. colorado plays a huge role in this journey. a spacecraft built by lockheed martin will launch from florida's cape canaveral. a united launch alliance rocket will propel it into space and the team also includes scientists from c.u. boulder working on all of this. it's kind of a long-range cleaning mission in a way. the spacecraft will eventually collect a sample from an bring it back to earth where experts cannot wait to get to the vacuum cleaner to see what they thought. >> ris is-rex will be the first nasaline head mission to return a sample from an asteroid. it will also be the largest sample return since the apollo era. >> experts say the same raw materials that went into building the sun and the planets make up that asteroid. that mission will take about seven years. launch is scheduled for around

week after a spacex rocket exploded during a pretest flight that destroyed a $195 million israeli satellite. engineers say the explosion will not affect tonight's launch. here's what's coming up next on the cbs 4 morning news, the punishment swimmer for ryan lochte for lying during the

you can sign up by going to the day of service page you will find at cbsdenver.com. jt want to go back to breaking news and a traffic alert. we have word that one person has died this morning at 56th and pena. but that's not all there is to this, joel. tell us about it. >>reporter: yeah, unfortunately this morning, alan, we've got 56th that is completely shut down at pena boulevard. there is one of the cars that was involved in this accident. one person was dead when police arrived on the scene, a pedestrian. a second has been taken to hospital with serious injuries. this is going to shut down 56th at pena boulevard for the next couple of hours while they do accident reconstruction and then there will be some cleanup that goes on along this, an so 56th is not a great route for you this morning. now, i do want to point out that along pena boulevard, do you see that? traffic moving okay. we are going to see some curiosity slowing develop, especially as you get a few more cars out on the roadway, but it should not affect your drive to the airport. this affects local traffic as they're trying to make their way across.

here. you have 56th avenue, so you're not able to access across pena boulevard. you'll need to use green valley ranch boulevard or 40th avenue to access across pena boulevard this morning. you can still get onto pena boulevard, just not from 56th, either, you'll need to take tower road in order to do that. here we are across the denver metro area. we've got some lights that are malfunctioning, this is colfax and clarkson, southbound on 225 on the approach to the tech center there. we've got an accident. it's right near dtc boulevard. we've got an accident at chatfield and wadsworth, and that'ssh lanes in that area as well. unfortunately that's the drive this morning southbound along i- 225 this morning, lauren, and, again, we're going to continue to watch that situation, 56th shut down at pena, due to a deadly auto/pedestrian accident. a live look ouz for you where skies are clear in denver this morning. we actually have some sunshine, that's a welcomed sight after a few cloudy mornings. that will make you feel more awake this morning. what else will make you feel more awake is it's cooler. when you step outside, you'll

seven degrees cooler in denver, five for seven in craig and two in grand junction. that puts us at 51 here in denver, 50 in greeley, 61 out in burlington, 39 this morning in avon, 54 in boulder, 33 in craig, and 55 degrees in grand junction. now, we still have some fog out on the eastern plains, not nearly as thick as the last couple of days and not nearly as widespread, but there is still some reduced visibility as you head out to the far eastern plains. taking a look at our satellite and radar, skies are clear this morning. again, there's just a few clouds out there, but overall we are pretty mell for jackson county. fire danger is still elevated and very high as you head up into wyoming. so just be extra cautious out there. even though a lot of the high country is not under a red-flag warning today, we still have some gustier winds and lower humidity levels which will start at noon today. for your forecast, dry conditions across the state today, mostly sunny skies for us, a little windy in parts of the high country. western slope, you're mellow today. could get a few thunderstorms on the eastern plains tonight and into the evening hours, but here in denver, we are going to see a hot sunny day with temperatures in the upper 80s.

clear. tomorrow we have a cold front that drops through. doesn't really bring us any moisture. what it does bring is some win and a little bit of cloud cover and cooler -- some wind and a little bit of cloud cover an cooler temperatures. 82 out in burlington, 77 in aspen, 90 in grand junction and, of course, it's a big day here in denver. if you're headed to the nfl village and all the fun stuff before the game, kickoff 88 degrees, for your forecast tomorrow 75 degrees and we will be a little windy. alan >> lauren, thanks a lot. investors seemd to kind of oned about the new iphone and disney is now scanning the fingers of children. jill wagner is live right now at the new york stock exchange to tell us all about it. hi, jill. >>reporter: good morning, alan. it was another record-setting day on wall street. the dow fell 12 points, the nasdaq rose 8, closing at a new record high. futures right now pointing to a bit of a higher open. apple didn't wow investors with that new iphone and product launch. shares rose, but only by a

resistant, it has longer battery life, a better camera and no headphone jack. apple is including a converter for people who aren't ready to give up their older headphones. customers can also buy wireless ear buds. investors are concerned there's just not enough upgrades to spur sales. disney world is now requiring children between the ages of 3- 9 have their fingers scanned before they enter the theme park. that's a way to prevent people from sharing tickets. oler guests have scanning their fingers. and starbucks is using social media to take on social issues. ceo howard schultz said on "cbs this morning," the coffee chain will begin a series of tests, videos and podcasts called upstanders on its mobile app. he says the content will feature stories about inspiring americans. alan. >> jill, thanks very much. let's get to thursday's top stories right now. congress is still deadlocked over emergency funding in the

florida republican congressman david jolly brought a canister full of mosquitoes here to the house floor yesterday to condemn the lack of action by his colleagues. aerial spraying for mosquitoes is scheduled today over miami beach and is now postponed because of tomorrow because there's some health concerns about all of this. the gold king mine is now considered a superfund site. the epa epa triggered last year's spill that allowed 3 million gallons of contaminated water into the flowed into three stiets. some locals had been kind of henkiy about the conotation of a superfund site. the epa clears the way for millions of dollars to help clean up the gold king mine and 47 other nearby sites in that area. and the u.s. olympic committee along with usa swimming are expected to announce punishments for four olympic swimmers. ryan lochte will reportedly get a 10-month suspension, while the other three swimmers will get less time.

welcome back. breaking news we're covering this morning. this is 56th and pena right now. that's a look at a vehicle that has been involved in a deadly accident involving two pedestrians this morning. one of those pedestrians is dead. this happened in darkness before 6:00 a.m. at 56th and na underneath the highway. and, joel, this is going to create some issues an it is a terrible tragedy to see what's happened there this morning. >>reporter: yeah. and anytime we have a fatality like this, there's a big investigation that has to go on, they do accident reconstruction. that area is going to be shut down for some time, and, again, this is just a good reminder that if you are going to be a pedestrian to wear something bright, to make sure that you're not in lines of traffic, that you walk alongside of the road in posted areas so that, you know, you get in a battle

battle at all. and pena boulevard right now, you see it along the right side of your screen, you can see the traffic moving along there. we expect some curiosity slowing, but nothing that's going to affect your commute too badly this morning. i want to show you the map of this area and give you a couple of alternate routes. you can travel along 56th and then come down on chambers or come down on tower road and access onto pena boulevard from green valley ranch or from 40th. but those are going to be your only options this morning. here's a look at the drive times as you're making your way westbound along i-70, that's slow eastbound into the airport, the "a" line is running with no delays. >> thanks, joel. let's look at what's happening across the country. we have big storms all the way from kansas city, getting closer to chicago. no delays, though, with this, and our chance for severe weather goes for parts of kansas and nebraska, all the way up into parts of the northeast. there's a good cold front in that area, the remnants of newton that are shooting through and a lot of moisture in the atmosphere. right now parts of new mexico getting a lot of rain for that, so flooding still a concern in that area, but drying out in arizona today after they saw a

heat very quickly. 70s and 80s in the pacific northwest. it's still hot as you head down toors the southeast, plenty of 90s and a lot of humidity. let's check back in with alun, good morning. >> thanks a lot, lauren gect to the airport is easier and faster. that's the word from the government right now. you might remember at the beginning of the summer, thousands of people were waiting hours to get to their planes. a lot of folks missed flights because things were at a snail's pace getting through security at airports across the country, including d.i. officers and made 1,800 employees full time. the department of homeland security says it worked. >> we reduced wait times this summer without compromising security. >> lines are now averaging about 15 minutes. more people also signed up at that point for the tsa precheck which, of course, costs you. the paralympic games are under way right now in rio de

breaking news right now, live pictures from copter 4. we are over 56th. this is right under pena right here. two people are hit, one of them is dead. they were apparently walking in or near the roadway.

dark -- and this happened when it was dark before 6:00 a.m., and there is still, unfortunately, a body on the road there as they investigate. joel is looking at the traffic issues it's causing this morning. joel. >>reporter: yeah, alan. so this is going to be a mess for folks trying to access onto pena boulevard or across pena boulevard there along 56th this morning. as they do accident reconstruction investigation, this closure is going to be in place for quite some time, so you have those live pictures coming in from copter 4. let me show you now some detours or ways you can get around you're going to have to travel on 56th and take either tower or take chambers and head across along green valley ranch or along 40th. those are going to be your options this morning as you are not able to access across on 56th. that's going to make a mess for the commute in that area. take a look at the drive times, though, as you get across the denver metro area, southbound along 225, lauren, we had an earlier accident at yosemite, that has been cleared out of the way, but still seeing speeds into the teens. >>reporter: if you're on the rooftop, it's just gorgeous

after a couple spotty starts to the day earlier this week. let's take a look outside this morning in denver. beautiful start to the day for us, and you can see a little orange on the horizon there. of course that's a good thing for us today with the broncos game. take ago look at our temperatures, it is a little cool in some spots. 51 here in denver, 54 in boulder, 61 out in burlington, 34 right now in leadville and gunson, 33 in craig. 39 in meeker. and we have 55 degrees in grand junction. there is a few leaves starting to change in some areas. we'll get you pictures of that, send them our way. let's get back to illinois. >> lauren, thanks. three people in illinois are in custody accused of killing a fort collins man last night. police say the arrests are related to the disappearance of devin smelts, his body turned up in morgan county last saturday. deliberations are back on this morning in the trial of a man accused of killing paigebergfeld. the mother from grand junction disappeared in 2007. lester jones is on trial for

also worked as an escort. jurors once again asked for additional evidence to review yesterday. they wanted jones' entire interrogation. his defense team didn't like that. they objected. they thought it would be unfair to the client. the judge, though, saw things differently. >> there's just really no unfair prejudice to the defendant, and i don't see the need to impose any restrictions on the jury's access to the defendant's videotaped statement in this. >> they'll be back at it this morning at 9:00 a.m. is in jail, accused of starving their blind and autistic 17- year-old in a case that has rattled even veteran detectives. one doctor says vanessa and david hall's son looked like a concentration camp survivor. investigators say the 17-year- old weighed only 88 pound when is he got to the hospital. they say he survived on seven to nine sodas per day and 500 calories of crackers and chips. investigators are struggling as

>> we're human as well, and it's tough to investigate a case like this, even as a police officer. it is a tough case. >> the halls claim they thought their son just had the flu and blamed his dangerously low weight on having skinny relatives and being a picky eater. human services has temporary cuff of that 17-year-old boy. a man accused of stabbing a restaurant customer in west highlands is behind bars this morning. police have yet to release his name. that apparently random attack street station. the man stabbed remained in the hospital yesterday. the station is supposed to reopen today. let's go back to joel right now as we watch this serious situation we have at 56th and pena this morning, a pedestrian dead, another injured. joel. >>reporter: yeah, taken to the hospital with serious injuries, alan, and because of the death of the other pedestrian and the two cars that remain on scene, a lot of interviews have to take place, they have to do accident reconstruction. that's going to keep 56th closed underneath pena boulevard this morning.

closures we do have in place. you are not able to access onto pena boulevard from 56th. in order to do that, you're going to have to take either green valley ranch or 40th. as a matter of fact, take a look at the map and i'll show you. these are sovment detours as you're making your way around this this morning. so you'll have to come down on either chambers or or tower -- or on tower road and access from green valley ranch or 40th this morning. you're also seeing slowing along i-70, pretty typical this time of day. as it slows down in the westbound direction, you see it starts backing northbound direction of i-225 as well. another accident along 225 at parker road, watch out for that. light rs malfunctions colfax and clarkson. remember, treat that as a four- way stop, and then a couple other little sites for you, we had a t-bone accident closed off a portion of the intersection of chatfield and wadsworth. watch out for that this morning. here's a look at some of the drive times now. as you come from the north, starting to load up just a bit

20s. >> seeing a really pretty sunrise this morning. a few clouds out there, but overall clear skies, and it is really nice outside. there's definitely that crispness in the air. and you'll notice it because temperatures are a lot cooler than yesterday. taking a look at our temperature change in the last 24 hours, seven degrees cooler in denver and 13 degrees cooler in greeley and alamosa. 10 degrees cooler in salida and nine for gunson. so that puts us the 51 degrees here in denver. 61 in akron and in burlington, 54 in boulder, 39 in avon. we have 34 in leadville and gunson, 34 i now, our fog is getting a little bit worse out near akron, down to about a mile visibility and our weather watcher jesse in burlington says it's actually pretty thick in that area. so wherever the sensor is not as bad as other parts of town. so we still have that fog on the eastern plains. a look at satellite and radar, clear of any moisture. we did have a few thunderstorms early this morning out on the eastern plains but those have now cleared out. fire danger is still elevated in parts of the state. in jackson county we have a red- flag warning that will start at noon today. still a bit gusty at times and

once you get into wyoming, there's lots of red-flag warnings, fire danger is still very high. taking a look at futurecast for today. you won't notice much activity because we are going to stay on the dry and clear side today. you may still have a few clouds out there and we could get a few thunderstorms out on the eastern plains, but those are fairly isolated and don't really -- not really widespread, so we're not looking at those here in the denver area. we're looking at a pretty great day for the broncos game and all of the fun activities before the game if you're heading out to any of that. tomorrow we have a cold front that comes through. that will bring us some more wind and cooler temperatures. today, still pretty warm for us, 89 in denver, 88 in greeley and boulder. 90 in lamar and the high country 73 in frisco, 77 in aspen and 90 over in grand junction. so we still have a lot of heat in the state. take ago look at our forecast for tonight, if you're heading to the nfl village, concerts, fun stuff before the game, we're in those upper 80s. kickoff about 85 degrees for us and by half time we're in the mid-70s. mid-70s, that's pretty nice football weather. taking a look at our five-day forecast, 75 tomorrow, windy with that cold front coming through, and then we're a little bit warmer through the

>> lauren, thanks a lot. you'll soon have more options getting to and from the mountains. the cdot is stenning the bustang service between veil and denver. it will include stops in frisco. the changes will not affect current bustang service between fort collins and colorado springs. now, the army has started destroying the nation's largest remaining stockpile of chemical weapons in an automated plant in southern colorado. officials at pueblo's chemical depot artillery shells that are filled with mustard agent. water and bacteria is used to neutralize that agent. that work is expected to finish in 2020. we've been following what's happening with it for years. cbs 4 investigation finds denver parking agents are making thousands of mistakes every year on tickets. brian maws has a -- brian maass has a preview of a story we'll see tonight at 10:00. >>reporter: they dish out millions of dollars of parking tickets each year, but according to this internal database every month these

been written. >> should have never gave me that ticket. >>reporter: parking officers making repeated errors, suggesting that maybe the ticket you got was a mistake. >> seems like it's becoming more commonplace. >> what's leading denver parking managers to cancel their own tickets and how you might be able to get out of a ticket even after it's written. you can watch that report tonight at 10:00 right here. here's what's coming up next, donald trump, hillary clinton tackling the fight against isis. what they said about it last night. and scientists get colorado's role in a big rocket launch tonight. and today is the day broncos fans have been waiting for. i'll break down tonight's matchup as the broncos take on the panthers in the season opener. first here's michael spencer with an update on emanuel sanders. >>reporter: emanuel sanders got his money. the broncos and sanders agreeing to a three-year extension yesterday. the deal worth a reported $33 million, $27 million of which is guaranteed.

hyped to play tonight and tonight's game probably going to be unlike anything any of these players have experienced. there's always a lot of emotion surrounding a season opener, and then when you factor in it's the first game since the super bowl, and it's a super bowl rematch, you know the broncos are going to be fired up, but that is a good thing. >> i want them emotional. they worked hard to be emotional, you know, they paid the price all week long. trust them and let them play, and our guys are guys that little bit. there's something wrong. >> everybody is going to be hyped, of course, but you gotta keep them down because it's going to be going so fast in the beginning, we just gotta get them calmed down and everybody as a whole team gotta get calmed down so we can play ball. >> the rockies walked off winners last night, hopefully that's a good omen for the broncos and the city of denver.

alliances to defeat isis. >> we have to defeat isis, that is my highest counterterrorism goal. >> clinton spent most of her time, though, with questions about her e-mail. she said her personal e. mate account and server use was a mistake, but defended her handling of the classified materials. the broncos team wants this to happen again. roll the tape. >> moves in the pocket. he's hit and sacked 5. the ball is free. denver's got it. touchdown denver! >> that is was worth waiting for, wasn't it? von miller hopes to put cam newton on the ground. romi is with us. our enjoyment of the super bowl, i guess it all ends here. >>reporter: ends here, but hopefully it continues. like you said, alan, the wait is over. it's been 215 days since the denver broncos and carolina panthers met in super bowl 50, and tell me what's not to like about this rematch?

there is plenty of star power. you've got the league mvp in cam newton on one side, and you've got the super bowl mvp in von miller on the other. all of this in prime time on a night when the broncos will celebrate their super bowl victory one last time. let's take a look at some key matchups in tonight's game. the bronco's defense must contain newton. with 35 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns, newton can wreak havoc. he's as big as a defensive end, runs like a running back and throws the broncos need to keep newton inside the pocket and much like they did in the super bowl, rush with discipline. and the broncos have to block luke keekley. there is nothing this panther's linebacker cannot do, especially against a young quarterback. keekley drops into coverage, stuffs the run and makes all of the panther's presnap adjustments. if you're trevor, you have to locate luke on every play. while trevor is making his

rookie quarterbacks, bradbury and whorley. this opens the door for wide receivers, sanders and thomas to make the kind of plays we didn't see in the super bowl when the broncos had only two completions of more than 20 yards. so i guess it's a good thing the broncos sign sanders to a contract extension yesterday. alan, you gotta love this matchup >> you know, the thing, romi, i'm thinking about, okay, they're going to watch that tape like crazy from the super bowl an that's where trevor simeon in a way has an advantage, right? >>reporter: absolutely. the panthers are going to watch the preseason tape, the super bowl tape, some tape on the broncos last year, but what they don't have is a lot of tape on trevor simeon. they have a couple quarters of preseason and that's really it. that can give the broncos an advantage. last year it took teams a couple weeks to adjust. hopefully that will play to the bronco's advantage. >> when you play peyton manning and you have trevor simeon, that's a different story. thank you.

weekdays and on denver sports 760. fans will want to see this, the denver broncos parachute team set to jump before the game tonight. here's video of a jump during preseason. gotta love that, broncos say you might want to be in your seats, the pregame entertainment starts at 6:20. kickoff is set for 6:40. happy landings, guys. fans can enjoy some quality nfl entertainment at civic center park today, second day of kickoff villages they're calling it. it's open morning until 6:00 p.m. fans can do everything from take pictures while trying on their favorite bronco's helmets and jerseys. it's also peyton manning retirement challenge obstacle course. lombardi trophy on display there, a lot of broncos alumni signing autographs leading up to the kickoff. live performances from diercks bentley and one republic. >> so it's time for us to do shows like this because we love football, we love denver, we

along i-225 in that northbound direction. southbound 225 we've got an accident at parker road. looks like we got a new accident westbound along i-70 as you get on the approach to i- 25 and then a couple other side street accidents including chatfield and wadsworth where you had a t-bone accident, closing off a portion of that disex. all right. take a look at the drive times, coming from the north, it's loading up, lauren, 11 minutes on the drive from thornton to denver, and eastbound i-225 to commerce city, speeds in the 20s. >> we have some cool temperatures this morning, but look at the we are full of activities later on today. we'll see romi on the sidelines later on. it's really going to be a great night at mile high. let's take a look at our temperatures. it is a little cool outside this morning. we're starting off with 56 in denver, 54 in boulder, 62 out in burlington, and in the high country there are a lot of 30s this morning. 39 in avon, 35 in leadville, 34 in gunson, 36 in craig and meeker, 56 in grand junction. we still have some fog out on the eastern plains and visibility has greatly dropped near akron and burlington, down

visibility. and on our satellite and radar, we are quiet this morning, and looking at our red-flag warnings, we still have one of those for jackson county starting at noon today. it's going to be windy up that direction and into wyoming and just breezy as you head a little bit farther south. taking a look at our futurecast for today, mostly sunny skies, and it should be a really nice day for all the pregame activities if you're heading to the nfl village. we could get a few thunderstorms out on the eastern plains, but we will stay quiet in denver and all the way to the western slope. 89 for us in denver today, 88 in boulder and greeley and 82 in the high country, 80s and 90s off to the west. for the broncos game today, nfl village, if you're heading out to all the fun, 88 degrees, it is going to be a warm afternoon, 85 for kickoff. again, sunshine, maybe a few clouds out there for us, and then looking at our five-day forecast, temperatures are going to be in the 70s tomorrow. we do have the chance for some windy conditions as a cold front comes through, and then we're in the 80s again on saturday. but 82 and sunshine on saturday, really going to be a nice week. >> sun is going to be shining
