right numbers. the powerball is inches to a billion dollars. let's take a lack at i-70 and floyd hill. we're starting to see westbound traffic heavy now. tracy is going to break down all the traffic details in just a moment. good morning. i'm jessica oh with vida urbonas. first we begin with a story all new. denver police are investigating a shooting on south harrison street. one person was shot and taken to the hospital. we're told the victim is in stable condition and police have not identified a suspect. denver police are investigating an armed robbery in the stapleton area. it happened at the super eight

police are in the initial stages of the investigation. more details about a shooting in adams county. lamo-- home invasion on east 35th place. meanwhile, authorities are looking for a second suspect. they want your help finding quintin watts. if you know where he is call the adams county sheriff's office. so we're a little jealous of belen and ryan who are live at the national western stock show. looks like you're having fun. >> what a way to kick off a saturday morning than with cute images of llamas and alpacas. look at this cute guy. this guy is thinking the same thing. the national western stock show

high for today will be 27 degrees. and there are some spots waking up to light snow. and lower visibility. but eventually, we'll see the skies clear, turn partly cloudy and the high today is not going to get very warm. we'll have a high of 27 degrees. the stock show continues through the 24th. let's take a look at doppler. in northern colorado we've been seeing the light snow. and here in the metro area a bit of mist and a possibility for scattered snow showers in the high country but no travel advisories are in effect. in some spots you know that visibility has dropped. i'm not looking at any advisories in effect as far as fog goes. chilly. map. we are much colder than where we were 24 hours ago. and into this afternoon, the highs are going to be in the 20s.

will make it feel a little warmer. and here's my sunshine. [ laughter ] >> ryan is going to be out here. >> we're the sunshine for all the alpacas and llamas. what are you doing here? a huge economic impact with the national western stock show. the current facilities will be upgraded. [ music ] >> the stock show president says the show will go on with as little interruption as possible. >> the plan has been written so that the national western stock show every january will be solidified and continue on for the 110 years and for the next 110 years as well. we will not have a pause in the

the phasing plan is enabling us to do that. >> the 95-acre site and the 30- acre coliseum site will be transformed to a 278-acre complex that could be used throughout the year. let's talk about the next couple of weeks here at the national western spock show. the broncos cheerleaders will be here and you can meet them at the 9news booth from 9:00 to 11:00. and two fiddlers and the llamas and alpacas? >> do you know the difference? >> no. >> do you know who might know? 36 i'm going to leave the animal talk to you. i do not know the difference between a llama and an alpaca. as you hit the roads, we are seeing a lot of traffic. and all the brake lights

drive times have skyrocketed just the last 30 minutes. we were at 45 minutes for the drive time and now 75 minutes. everyone is kind of leaving the city at the same time this morning. all the way from floyd hill through idaho springs. average speed now the whole way out, about 35 miles per hour. that's a good thing because you may run into slick spots. hopefully, the slower speeds will avoid the accidents. and as you come into idaho springs, dropping to 22 miles per hour. we've had a few slowdowns around the tunnel. they were not impacting drive times a lot. heading westbound, 76 minutes just to get to the tunnels. take it slow and you may want to wait now if you haven't hit the road yet. wait until after the influx of

>> that traffic picked up really fast. when we got an update an hour ago there was nothing and then all of a sudden. >> everyone had the same idea to go at the same time. >> and we have snow in the mountains. >> tracy's traffic report -- let's go. of course you can listen to the cdot mountain radio between denver and vail. and hear up to the minute road conditions by streaming the feed off the cdot website or from the app. and they'll broadcast friday afternoons and holiday mondays. >> and you can get tracy's report right here on 9news. she's joining us from weather nation. we want to get to a developing story. a notorious mexican drug lord was transferred back to the same prison he escaped from

military officials raided a home in joaquin el chapo guzman's home state. troops hauled him off in a helicopter to head back to the same maximum facility. and he broke out of prison six months ago to face charges here and there as well. and there's no word on if he'll be extradited to the u.s. alarming details about the man accused of ambushing a police officer in the name of islam. family members told the philadelphia inquirer the attacker was hearing voices. he admitted the attack was inspired by isis. surveillance video from late thursday night shows the shooter walking up to police and that cruiser and opening fire.

return fire and is expected to survive. they say it's pretty clear they all knew isis was no good. he's being held without bail and faces terrorism charges. he lied about traveling to syria to fight in the civil war. investigators believe he came back to the u.s. and then joined isis. a muslim woman was kicked out of donald trump's campaign night. she was escorted away after standing up during the speech of syrian refugees. trump was at a rally and claimed his opponent voted in favor of going to war. >> i told you i didn't want to go to iraq. i'm the only one. hillary voted for it.

it doesn't matter. >> one problem with that statement. paul was not in iraq at the time. he was elected in 2010. family members and members of the community are calling for the department of justice to investigate after the death of a denver jail inmate was ruled a homicide. a medical investigation reveals michael marshall suffocated in november after being restrained by officers. six deputies were put on restricted duty after the encounter. a criminal investigation is being done but that's not enough. they want justice. >> this has to change today. we need you to hear, the department of justice. we want you to come investigate the denver police department, the denver sheriff's department and the city and the office of safety because we have no more confidence:

will have to decide if any charges fit in this case. a man is facing charges in connection with a string of burglaries in the metro area because he didn't cover his tracks. six burglaries were reported in englewood, most of them on south broadway and east hampden. it snowed overnight and police found footprints leading from one business to another. officers followed the tracks to an apartment complex across the street. investigators say the suspect may be tied to other smash and grabs in the metro. there have been 40 burglaries in the past two weeks. >> caught in his tracks. $800 million. the powerball jackpot is the largest in u.s. history. you might want to get the ticket. the pot went up in $50 million increments all week. the drawing is tonight.

quick run to the store. >> you know it. a little group powerball. powerball fever is spreading beyond the u.s. and here in the u.s. stores were busy in michigan. people had to learn how to fill out a ticket. and if a canadian wins they'll have to pay taxes in the u.s., not canada. taxes, lots of taxes. >> i want to win but if i can't win i want someone in the states to win. not a canadian. >> i agree with you. $800million is exciting. a frigid start to your saturday and temperatures will stay pretty low. >> belen de leon is out at the stock show with ryan.

welcome back. 7:14 on your saturday. of course vita and i are stuck here while belen gets to be live at the national western stock show plays with llamas or alpacas, don't get run over. i'll be sad. >> reporter: he's so beautiful. giraffe? his fibers are keeping him very warm. the stock show has arrived and kicks off today. you're all set up, buddy. the high will be 27 degrees. this morning, areas of fog,

are all part of the forecast. and we should see some clearing with skies turning partly cloudy and highs at 27 degrees. we'll be way below that. here's doppler nine. this is what we've got going on. the snow is gradually coming to an end. and we have light snow in northern colorado and the high country. the travel advisories have expired and you'll bump into the icy and snow packed roads in the high country and the metro area. the temperatures for today are going to be in the 20s. here's where we start off. we have teens and single digits and in the high country, we have temperatures below zero. we're gradually going to warm high country. check out the high for today. you'll have to wear the jackets wherever you're headed. and radar and satellite is going to be a bit clearer in the metro area. the you. and a possibility for scattered

we're not going to see a dumping but a little accumulation is possible as we go throughout saturday and drier on i-5 and the eastern -- i-25 and the eastern plains. tonight with the partial clearing an overnight low of 8 degrees in the city and lows across the state dropping into the single digits in spots. on the front range more single digits. greeley, sterling, a low of three. and could get closer to the goose egg tomorrow morning. tomorrow will start off cold and it's going to be a high of 34 degrees. so not as cold as today. monday, 36 degrees. tuesday we're in the 40s. and wednesday is looking like a really nice day. looking like the pick day of the week.

a high of 39 degrees. >> ryan, what's your twitter handle. >> we're hanging out with antero. the fibers are so beautiful. does this fiber do well in the competition? i know that is big here. >> the alpacas are judged on firer. and llamas are judged on conformation. he's called an appaloosa just like the horses. he would be considered a light wool llama because of his coverage. and then you go to medium wool and heavy wool. and th alpacas are divided by color. >> they are so curious. tell us about the event. >> we have performance classes at 2:30. afternoon with the llama and alpaca at 2:00. and everybody needs to come

hands on one of these wonderful animals. >> they are so cool. >> today is only the first of 16 days of events. so find your western spirit. the gates open at 9 a.m. and today there's going to be three professional rodeos. and some good eats. >> and gregg moss is one of the guest chefs at the competition. check us out later. we'll be here all morning. jessica, back to you. >> if i was there i would reach over and snuggle with that furry friend. >> he doesn't let us. >> i don't think he would like that. >> he's not much of a snuggler but he's very soft. >> so cute. >> we'll check back in a minute. we're talking about where you can adopt a cutie in the pet line segment coming up next.

we have brooke lining us from the rescue organization. she came as a surrender, right? >> she came from a shelter. the family moved out of the country and dumped her at the shelter before they left. not a good plan. >> she has some health issues. >> she's on a wiper reiner weight loss program. and we're looking to get her in better shape. >> you know what i love about her. she's used to being with a family and probably knows some commands. >> yeah, she's great with kids and cats and is relaxed in the house.

couple walks here and there. >> mainly we're just sticking to the weight loss plan. >> and she's so beautiful and sweet we hope she finds a home. and you have an event. if next meet and greet is january 16th in highlands ranch. >> and it's such a good opportunity to come and meet the animals before you think about anything. >> we do those monthly and it's a great way to meet the dogs and feel out whether you want to volunteer for the organization. it's a great way to get more information. >> that's good to know. thank you so much. and we have all the information

if you know where he is they're asking you to call the adams county sheriff's office. we showed you the look from cdot's camera i-70 and floyd hill. and there's quite the backup. and there may be no travel advisories in effect but the drive up to the high country may be icy. we're taking a live look at i- 70 and floyd hill and there is quite the backup. just a reminder that chain overnight. >> slow going all around if you're heading to the high country to get the fresh powder. >> speaking of fresh powder -- well, not really. >> not that belen is the fresh powder but she's going to talk about the fresh powder. >> reporter: yes, some snow. no snow here though. >> we're nice and warm inside with all the animals.

from alpacas. >> the national western stock show starts today and goes through the 24th and the forecast is going to be chilly to start off. and some areas will have low visibility and fog and cloudiness. and skies will turn partly cloudy. even though yo see sunshine doesn't mean it's going to be a warm day. you high will be 27 degrees. bundle up if you're headed just stay warm. beans. >> reporter: in northern california the snow is falling lightly. and it's mostly come to an end. light snow in the high country. and another thing we have is lower visibility in some spots. those are just a couple of things you need to watch out roads. the temperatures right now -- take a look -- it's chilly -- and into this afternoon highs will be in the 20s. so not much of a temperature spread.
