6:15 pm
tough, but hopefully this evening things are a little smoother for your friday night. overlooking downtown denver, we have mostly cloudy skies out there, after picking up several inches in the 9news backyard. around the front range, close to 2 to 6 inches, everywhere in between. we hit 29 degrees at the airport today, but that came at midnight and we've been staying steady in the low 20s ever since. right now at the airport, we're at 20 degrees. couple of light flurries still coming down and humidity at 85%. we still have a ton of moisture out there in the atmosphere. our storm system is still sitting just into parts of new mexico and texas, but on the back side of it, this counterclockwise flow is ushering that snow straight into southeastern colorado. that's why they are seeing the heavier bands and have a good shot of seeing more move in later on tonight. around here, what you see is what you get. couple of light flurries around up to the mountains. a little light snowfall coming down, but we aren't going to see too much more accumulation
6:16 pm
again, heavier bands, i-25 south from pueblo to trinidad, la hundred today, kim, also looking at a little snowfall, too. our storm system pushes to the east by morning, but the stationary front is going to back up around the front range and that's going to keep the frigid temperatures around for saturday and sunday. the rest of this evening, everything starts to wind down. 11:00, snow finishes in southeastern colorado. by morning, we wake up to patchy fog. i don't think it's going to last forever. maybe by afternoon we might have some clearing, but mostly cloudy skies. by 1:00, 2:00, a little light snowfall popping up around the northern and central mountains, just because we still have the moisture out there and so with the mountains, i think we could pick up just a little bit more. down across southern colorado, we still are looking at the winter storm warning. about 6 to 10 inches for the sangre de cristos. as far as temperatures tonight, they are going low. look at that, 6 in greeley. 1 in sterling.
6:17 pm
in the highcountry. tonight, 8 degrees. snow winding down. but look at the bitter cold arctic air blasting in from canada. daytime highs tomorrow in bismarck, 1 below. 6 degrees in minneapolis, making our 25 not look that bad. in the 20s along the eastern plains. 27 in blackhawk, 23 in brighton, 25 in fort collins with low 20s across most of northern colorado. we'll pop to the 30s on sunday, a little more sunshine. 40s arrive midweek, but then another storm system will be on the horizon for next weekend. . so now that we know who the quarterback is, it's time to focus on the broncos' next the best part about being the best team is you get to face the lowest seed, which is not necessarily the worst team. the steelers are number 6. so if they beat the bengals, that's who the broncos get.
6:18 pm
who do the broncos want to see? chiefs? texans? or steelers? >> it really doesn't matter. >> come on. >> it really doesn't matter to me. i'm so excited about the opportunity. we got a first round bye, homefield advantage, opportunity to win the super bowl. we're in the tournament. you can't, you can't talk about who you want to play because then disappointment and expectations set in. i keep a level head. we'll find out saturday who we play. >> i went back to kansas city and that's all the talk of the town, us being 1-1 and them having a chance to come back to denver and break the tie. for me, being from there, it's very exciting. i always love playing against kansas city because everybody back home gets to see that. if they do pull this game off, i'm ecstatic. >> you could put a story line to any game you play. it don't matter to us, man. we're going to prepare and play whoever shows up. >> we want to play.
6:19 pm
we're going to play the lowest seed, whoever that is, and, you know, if they deserve to come into mile high and play, that's what they get a chance to do. >> shoutout to von miller, the broncos' lone all-pro. that was announced today. shifting gears to high school hoops, and a big honor for the head coach of monarch. taylor? >> reporter: hey, rod, coach nivens is celebrating 30 years as head coach in the state of colorado. i'm joined by manny wassinger. football. >> that's right. people don't realize, as well as he's done in his coaching career, deep down inside, he's really a football coach. >> reporter: love it. we also want to talk to neil hammer, who covered him while years. what did you learn about coach and the way he treated players in all of those years? >> you know, ken's records
