6:11 pm
. pretty quiet day around the denver metro area. a much different story up to the highcountry, where they saw plenty of powder. in fact, out at winter park, this awesome shot, a glimpse of blue bird skies and of course supporting the broncos up there as well. look at some of these totals. keep in mind, these came in at 5:00 a.m. when they report, 6 1/2 at
6:12 pm
keystone at 3, same in loveland. crested butte at 2 inches. tomorrow morning, i guarantee you the powder hounds are going to be enjoying much more snow. pretty quiet. we've been waiting for a flurry here and there, but i wouldn't count on all that much. big story is going to be up in the mountains where they are tracking 5 to 10 inches by tomorrow morning. 1 to 3 for the foothills. less than half an inch in town. and again, northern colorado, maybe an inch to 2 across the plains. right now, 26 out at the airport, mostly cloudy skies. the winds have shifted out of the east now, bringing us windchill of 16. it's cold out here, even in the 9news backyard, where temperature readings are coming in about 26 degrees as well. unsettled weather going on across most of the country. in fact, eastern seaboard bracing for a strong storm out there, as well as lake effect snow across the great lakes. meanwhile for us, the system now positioned just to our south, but still spinning up on the back side of it. highcountry. that's where most the action s it's filtering in from the
6:13 pm
south and to the east, with the strongest bands up in larimer and weld counties, toward fort collins, cheyenne, south along i-25, toward greeley, pushing in toward weld county as well. around denver, it's been pretty quiet. we've had a couple of isolated flurries here and there. it's really been tough for them to actually make it to the surface because we have such dry air down here at the lower levels. if anything, light flurries are coming in across the western suburbs and the hog back. the rest of this evening looks quiet for us. we'll have mostly cloudy skies. by 10:00, you can see southeastern colorado picking up on some of that snow. the mountains will still see the snow overnight. look at this. 1:00, 2:00 in the morning, might have one or two bands that push through parts of adams, arapahoe county, quickly zipping off to the south and east. by morning, it's long gone. we'll wake up to a bit of sunshine and it will be cold, but sunny. as the afternoon presses on, clouds begin to return to the i- 25 corridor right there, 5:00, 6:00, with another push of snow up in the mountains.
6:14 pm
saturday evening into sunday morning. sunday morning might be tricky, as a few more flurries might make their way down to the plains. by 10:00 tomorrow evening, still dry here in town. winter weather advisory still in place until 9:00 tomorrow morning. the front range mountains between 5 to 10 inches of snow. 4 to 7 toward the san juans. look at that, 6 to 12 toward the central mountains. impressive storm, but again, pretty wimpy here in denver. 15 tonight here in the metro area. we stay in the teens across the eastern plains. single digits and teens up in the mountains. it's going to be another cold one. a few flurries out there, nothing to write home about, half inch or less. sunrise coming at us at 7:19. we'll kick off the day with plenty of sunshine. it's the afternoon those clouds, as well as the next weak disturbance moves through. 20s in nederland, south toward idaho springs. 36 in the metro area with 40s in arvada and lakewood. some spots in the 30s along the i-25 corridor out in northern colorado, and cooler with the snowfall continuing around those northern mountains.
6:15 pm
couple little flurries here and there. tailgaters might find a few early on. but for the most part, snow bands should be moving out just in time for game time. we'll be at 50 degrees and downsloping winds will warm us up on monday for martin luther king, jr. day. not bad on tuesday. another round rolls in wednesday. then we only start to warm up from there. . hi, everybody. the broncos will basically be playing the pittsburgh steelers' practice squad in sunday's nfl playoff game. hall of fame quarterback ben roethlisberger can hardly lift his throwing arm. star runningback le'veon bell and deangelo williams are both out with injuries. now, the steelers have announced their fabulous wide receiver antonio brown will be unable to play due to lingering issues from the concussion he suffered during last weekend's first round victory over the cincinnati bengals. >> we know what it's like, you know, to play in big games and be missing some guys. we've had some players sitting on the sidelines this year of big games of ours.

6:17 pm
had have been -- they have made history. we look forward to the challenge, though. that's what this is all about. >> reporter: in the 22 years the chiefs went in between post season victories, the patriots have won 24 playoff games and four super bowls, two teams with very different histories. >> it's a statement game for us. i mean, it's a statement game for anybody that would come into the world champs' stadium and take on the patriots and who they are. >> reporter: 1994, that was kansas city's last trip to an afc championship game. new england hasn't played in the conference final since last year. so it's either the chiefs and a shot at redemption for peyton manning who was benched after throwing four interceptions against kansas city back in november, or the patriots, which is of course, drew, manning versus brady. but first, there is that small detail of the pittsburgh steelers on sunday. >> oh, yeah, there is that.

6:19 pm
atmosphere is going to be like later tonight. >> energetic. electrifying. >> reporter: perfect. we expect it to be that way as well. highlights tomorrow morning on the 9news prep rally. back to you. >> thanks, taylor. nuggets center nikola jokic might not play well against the miami heat. she played perfect on wednesday against the golden state warriors and got drilled in the face. hands up, feet spread, perfect defensive stance. and the ball directly into nikola's nose. didn't even get a bloody nose. >> rockies avoided arbitration today with superstar third baseman nolan arenado by agreeing to a one-year, $5 million contract, which is about 20 to 25 less than he's worth. one-year, 5 million. they will pay dearly later. >> yeah, next time around.
