portions of larimer county as we saw, we do have snow up there again. but again the further south you go, the less we see and we're kind of on the southern edge of maybe where the moisture gets. so i got an isolated shower in the forecast. that's about it. because of the cloud cover of their in the northwest, 14 degrees warmer at this hour than yesterday. but down in lamar, 22 degrees colder than it was. we're about three degrees cooler. that's why there's not as big a change in denver. certainly cooler today than it was yesterday. when we had 77. here are the showers to the north. you can see maybe one into the foothills, i don't know if they get into denver. stays stays very dry to the south. maybe clipping north eastern colorado and thursday. we will roll it and friday and again, not much but a few clouds and sunshine by noon, that sets the stage for pretty nice weekend. wait until you see the five-day

here comes the cooler weather and this high-pressure keeping everything stationary. nothing is moving very much. cool weather to the north. so it's going to be cool a couple days around here. let's go to the colorado weather center with lauren whitney and find out how much we're going to see. >> reporter: the cool weather won't last for too long. upper lever blow, but high- pressure starts to take back over as we head towards tomorrow and into the rest of the week. high-pressure sticks with us and dominates the southwest. you you can see it's going to keep warmer mp drier conditions heading our direction as the cool air moves more to the northeast into the midwest. where they are going to go down quite a bit. for us after today as we head towards tomorrow, as we head towards the weekend we are going to feeling like spring around here. we could use some moisture but with high-pressure part four is we're not going to see that. let's check back in with head and you'll have a look at what's happening for our temperatures. >> that's right. look at the highs today, cooler than yesterday 77 but 65 very close to normal for this time of year. 33 at the airport.

84 and 19 are the records. 51 in nederland, rist canyon 55, 66 in westminster, down alamosa, warm spot 75 degrees. as we take a look at current conditions, 64 and 63. 20% humidity, steady barometer and nice shot from andrew stapp. estes park, what a beautiful day to play golf. great shot from larry pierce, this is the yema valley. take a look at this from cunningham, the leaves of many colors, you've got green leaves and orange, yellow, gold and red. very pretty shot. temperatures for tonight mostly in the 30s and 40s. we'll find 20s and 30s for the mountains. 20s, 30s, 40 degrees and then tomorrow as lauren instead -- 40s, 50s 60s over the eastern plains. 40s and 50s for the mountains, low 60 southwest. you will see the one change. here it comes tonight partly cloudy skies maybe isolated

donald trump and congressman coffman would punish women. and coffman tried to redefine rape to mean only forcible rape. in coffman's bill, victims who were drugged, even minors, victims of statutory rape, coffman and trump are too dangerous for colorado.

michael is here talking broncos. when you stink up the joint back to back, nice to have some extra prep. >> virgil green said the extra time off is just making him

>> it's easy to look at the lack of production in the broncos running game and point fingers at the offensive line. it's easy to point at the line for a lot of things these days. but c.j. anderson is shouldering some of the blame himself. his rushing numbers have been on a steady decline since the season opener. last week in san diego he tied his season low for rushing yards with just 37. his number of attempts has also been on the decline. that thanks to devontae booker but cj says the onus is on him more plays. >> i said it after san diego, we have to find a way to make more plays. my ability of stepping out of tackles, i have to find a way to make those big plays to give the confidence and also gives confidence to call the runs more often. so we've got to get back to that run even though it was a two-yard carrie got to give confidence that the next carrie

>> the big run got called last week because of holding. last year's route by stanford is still on the minds of the cu buffs. the one word you will hear over and over again is physical. last year the cardinal believed their way past cu. stamford does that to a lot of teams but the buffs are adamant that won't happen again saturday. >> we'll go out there and test their toughness as well. i don't think it's like in past years where our toughness or our guys up front. we've got a great front on offense. we got a great front on defense. we feel like we match up very well. >> we have to be more physical than we were last year. we are a more physical team now exactly what you say, mentally tough we have to do that. and stand toe to toe with them and we've got -- we have to excel at what they do, surpass what they do. switching to hockey the avs taking on alexander ovechkin and the capitals tonight. luckily for ovechkin he is

is with his driver. he finally got that one off the tea. eventually. will have an update on that game later tonight. the avs trying to go to 3-0. >> it's amazing. world-class hockey player,

i've seen what can happen as the result of hate. my son matt was murdered in laramie, wyoming, in 1998. he was befriended by two men in a bar who pretended to be gay. they offered him a ride home, and when he was in their car, they drove matt out to the prairie and tied him to a split-rail fence, then beat him some more and left him for dead. in the aftermath of matt's death, my family saw the best of america in the love and support we were shown. so when i see the hate that donald trump has brought to his campaign for president, it terrifies me. i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell ya. ahh, i don't know what i said, uhh, i don't remember. he's a mexican. i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue

violence causes pain. hate can rip us apart. i know what can happen as the result of hate, and donald trump should never be our president. priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. from a rancher's perspective, we feel that often washington is removed from what we need. senator bennet is different. michael bennet has been at the ready and always willing to listen. when the federal government wanted to increase grazing fees,

he commits to his word, and that means a lot to a guy like me. i'm a republican, but i know that michael bennet trusts us and we trust him. i'm michael bennet and i approve this message. so the cold snap won't last too long. >> that's right. here it comes. there it is tomorrow. of 59. 62 thursday. friday, almost 80 degrees.
