daughter claire, nor is it about carl pearson, who is the teenager in crisis who we believe would have made very different choices if a helping hand had reached out from a system that was designed to not miss the opportunities to help him. >> i hope that we can continue to look, work together to look at the prioritization of dollars on this issue. >> i really almost see it that in the name of their daughter, they have given the state of colorado a tremendous gift in her honor, an unprecedented amount of information and insight into the dynamic that goes on in our schools and with our youth. >> all three reports released monday make extensive suggestions to schools as to how to move forward. the question remains, though, will they be used and implemented, and if possible, do there need to be changes to

no arrests yet, after a shooting this morning in southeast aurora. gunfire left one man dead and another injured. police rushed to south espana way, near the intersection of tower road and quincy avenue around 7:00 this morning. they found a car there that had hit a tree. there was a man inside that car who had gunshot wounds. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. while police were investigating, another man approached them to say he had also been shot during that same incident. he is expected to survive. police determined the actual shooting happened about a block away from where the car crashed, but they say they still have more details to sort out about how this crime played out. they aren't naming any suspects as of yet. a big sinkhole causing traffic trouble downtown. a 120-year-old water main burst at eighth avenue and delaware street this morning. workers say repairs are taking longer than they figured. denver water is asking people to use alternate routes at least through the evening rush.

able to get all lanes open around 7:00 tonight. the last few weeks, people have been keeping a close eye on the taylor and gunnison rivers because of several ice jams. this is video from the jam nearlemont. local residents say the ice jams happen every few years and usually occur after a long cold spell. the latest caused a flash flood watch last wednesday for a stretch of the gunnison. meteorologist becky ditchfield is in the weather center. the ice jam problem might get worse because we're expecting unseasonably warm temperatures tomorrow. very possible. certainly something to keep an eye on. the good news, as we take a look at our radar, which typically shows us all of the warnings and watches across the state, we have none. they have allowed that flash flood watch for the gunnison river to expire, meaning they think conditions are okay enough the water is flowing through that ice jam enough so some of the ice has broken off and moved downstream, enough that flash flooding is no

this is the time of year that we typically will see that. we're certainly going to continue to watch out for that. on the horizon, a new storm colorado. temperatures in the 50s today. we've had lots of sunshine and it's been gorgeous all up and down the front range, here in denver, up and through fort collins, boulder. fort collins right now, 45 degrees. greeley at 47. fort lupton, 49. downtown denver, 57 degrees. at dia, cooler at 48. in aurora, you're sitting at 54. of course the big story all across the country has been and will be what's going on across the southeast and east coast, which is all of that snow. we're not all that concerned about if we're speaking about ourselves and we're speaking selfishly because we don't have a lot of snow in our forecast. most of what's coming will come on sunday, where more snow and more wind will be moving into

we've already seen a ton of the avalanche danger so far this season and as we watch this next system move in, we see those winds kick up, perhaps warmer temperatures. we are expecting the avalanche danger to get higher. in fact, we've already had our first avalanche fatality of the season. 9news mountain newsroom reporter matt renoux joins us live from summit county. matt, it's not just the people in the backcountry that are seeing avalanches right now. >> reporter: you're right, becky. in fact, there's a slide right behind me that happened today here near the eisenhower/johnson tunnels. yesterday, two small slides reached highway 40 near berthoud pass. a 32-year-old died in an avalanche yesterday as well near crested butte. the first avalanche fatality in colorado, but there have been nine so far this season across the west. conditions are only moderate to considerable right now, but warmer weather is making avalanche danger rise and also keeping forecasters with the center pretty busy. they not only go out and check

backcountry, but they also work with cdot to mitigate avalanche danger around colorado roads. it has been a busy season already, with hundreds admissions in the highcountry. now with warming temperatures, they expect to be busier. yesterday, a person died in the avalanche and two slides near berthoud pass. today, the small slide at i-70 apartment the eisenhower tunnel could be the start of an active weekend. >> got some modest snowfall with a lot of wind. that create the wind-drifted slabs on top of weak snow. so we saw a cycle of human and naturally running avalanches. we do have our first warmup in quite sometime with a lot of fresh snow. so we'll often see small avalanches in the surface snow when that happens. >> reporter: on average, there are about six avalanche fatalities a year in colorado. january and february typically bring the heaviest activity for avalanches in colorado. >> so we're just getting into the heavy season.

thank you very much, matt renoux, for everyone to be careful up in the backcountry. parts of the east coast are bracing for what could be a mystery-making snowstorm. the storm has already caused problems in parts of the south where it spawned tornadoes overnight. 9news reporter maya rodriguez joins us with the latest on what is a winter wallop in the east. >> reporter: kim, 20 to 30 inches of snow is what they could potentially see in the washington, dc area. that is not something they are used to dealing with. now, 85 million people in 20 states are either under advisories or warnings because of this storm. there could even be flooding in coastal communities because of higher than normal tides this weekend. in washington, dc, most today. an inch of snow paralyzed that city earlier this week. officials are trying to reassure residents there they can deal with the potential 2 feet of snow or more coming baltimore, philadelphia, new york, all expected to see impacts from this winter storm. as you can expect, air travel

be very tough this week. 3000 flights were canceled today because of the storm. another 3000 have already been canceled for tomorrow. here at d itch a, dozens upon dozens of flights also canceled today because of that winter storm. if your plans include the eastern seaboard or parts of the south, you really need to check with your airlines first. kim? >> they are really concern. they are telling people it could -- they have already had deaths on the roads. it's a serious storm. >> reporter: it could be one of historic proportions. that's what the national weather service is saying. so a very, very serious storm. >> thank you, maya. twelve u.s. marines are being memorialized at a ceremony on their home base in hawaii today. they were aboard two helicopters that crashed off the coast of oahu last week. the marine corps suspended efforts after five days. one of the marines, sergeant jeffrey simpler was from fountain, colorado. a vigil was held for him earlier this week. this week, 9news told you about a new approach from supporters of the death

that was handed down in the aurora theater case, a group of republican senators wants to allow the death penalty to be imposed if three fourths of a jury votes for death. right now, colorado law requires a unanimous decision. on sunday's "balance of power," an in-depth debate with that bill's sponsor and a lawmaker who wants to ban the death penalty. >> are you 100% sure our system is fool-proof, that we couldn't accidentally execute somebody? >> of course not. of course not. i'm not 100% sure that when we take a person and incarcerate them for the rest of their life that we are always accurate. >> but that can be at least partially fixed. >> it can't be fully undone. >> no. >> but-- >> can't be any undone. >> neither can the person who initially. >> to the senator's point, if you do have one of these really tremendously awful cases and you can't get the death penalty

the death penalty. is it already over? why do you need the policy change, if so? >> it's not all the way over, though, because we have three people on death row currently. i know, because all three are from my district. all three are african american males my age that went to the same high school. we've got a problem with the death penalty and how it's being used in colorado. but the solution isn't making it easier to get a conviction. >> more of this debate on "balance of power," sunday morning at 8:45 here on 9news, channel 20. eleven people in six states are sick after eating packaged salads produced at a dole facility in ohio. one death has been linkedin michigan. the center for disease control and prevention says listeria is causing the illnesses. dole stopped all production at the springfield, ohio plant and is withdrawing packaged salads on the market produced there. no one in colorado has reported getting sick.

they are glad to come to denver now, missing the storm. >> you're looking at the team loading up on buses at gillette stadium this afternoon, and obviously arriving at the airport. nothing too exciting, of course. but if you're wondering, they didn't seem to have any problems getting out of the east coast with all this weather. >> we're hoping they fell the effects of the altitude here. when they do arrive, they will see this. dia tweeted these pictures earlier today. the airport said paint shop modifying runway 8 to make it welcome the patriots to broncos country. we love that. >> tiny number 1 to make it 18. >> they are going to remind them where they are. >> very nice. >> when they walk in the locker room, 5280 feet above sea level, we like to remind them. >> like to think they will have a mice message on the train, too. >> definitely get a message. i don't know who the voice is doing it right now.

demaryius thomas. >> we'll get into if. i'm sure it's going to be something they won't like. >> it will be a familiar voice. okay. if you've purchased a hover board recently, you might be able to get a refund. >> first of all, they are not hover boards. >> i know. >> but all the same, one site is taking these two-wheeled

for the first time this year, stocks ended the week higher than they opened. not by a whole lot. today was pretty good, though, thanks to energy and tech stocks. the dow rose almost 211 points. the s&p gained about 38. and the nasdaq climbed 119. well, they aren't really hover boards, as i've covered, but if you bought one of those two-wheeled devices on amazon, the company is going to give you a full refund if you ask them. it's not because the name is horribly misleading. it's because they have a nasty habit of bursting into flames. some of the lithium ion batteries used to power the stickless segway knock-offs have exploded. more than three dozen cases have been reported of devices smoking or catching fire. despite all the problems, sales haven't slowed down, according

time magazine's latest cover features flint, michigan. it reads "the poisoning of an american city." toxic water, sick kids, the incompetent leaders who betrayed flint. the 2-year-old on the cover is sincere smith, with rashes covering his body. i don't think we'll be able to see this here. you'll see it on the magazine. high levels of lead have been detected in flint's water since the city switched from the municipal system and began drawing from the flint river as a cost-saving measure. advisory panel to michigan governor rick snyder talked to him today about the steps the state could take to get reliable drinking water back to residents in flint. first, it was twitter and google. now, it's apple's turn with the pope. apple ceo tim cook visited the vatican today. he went to italy after making news with a new apple development center in naples. cook was received by the pontiff on the same day as the

chance for snow on sunday. meteorologist becky ditchfield is in the 9backyard. tomorrow is looking like a great . welcome back. a nice look from downtown denver, from sky 9, as we're expecting warmer weather to come our way. >> really warm today, even warmer tomorrow. we're looking forward to that. we'll be fine, right? becky is in the backyard sporting her orange, looking good. feels good out there! >> it really does. we were in the 50s most of the day. had all of that beautiful sunshine, just gorgeous. another day like today, just like tomorrow. if you liked today, you'll love tomorrow. yes, cooler on sunday, but if is no big deal, especially when you compare that forecast to

let's go ahead and take a look at radar. our picture, no big deal. out to the east, it's a totally different story. you can see all of that snow. we've been talking about this most of this week. now finally hitting parts of the east coast. heavy bands are pushing in through washington, dc, making their way up north, getting close to new york city, where this system is just now beginning. heavy rain also impacting parts of the carolinas, down to the south. i want to take a closer look all of the storm reports that have come in from this. man, the people out east are on top of it. i'm going to zoom in to washington, dc and show you a couple, just to show you this is getting started. right now, some of those snow totals ranging from half an inch to about 2 inches or more on the ground. but of course they have got that, got wind, blizzard warnings in effect. visibility will be low for them. that's going to be tough to get around that city for a while.

south, a little further inland, west, we've seen bigger totals. this is in parts of the carolinas and into kentucky. 11 inches of snow reported. 5, 6 inches as well. this system really having a huge impact on the east coast. it's good news that we are seeing a lot of it get out of the way here within a couple of days, but also even better news that the patriots are arriving in denver now. they are missing out on all of that. even still, we'll give you a chance for snow in time for the game on sunday. it will be flurries. temperatures at kickoff will be at 41 degrees. we'll be dropping into the 40s by 4:30. this has been our weather story today. isn't that gorgeous? lots of sunshine, beautiful temperatures, all up and down the front range, even up into the mountains. look at this. 55 near downtown denver. dia at 48. it's 46 in greeley. 45 for fort collins, 44 around longmont. idaho springs, 51. here outside in the 9news backyard, we've got lots of sunshine.

we're expecting to see all of that beautiful sunshine and then we're going to watch on our television screens what's coast. that system is expected to travel up the coast over the next 24 to 48 hours and it's going to take until late saturday night and early sunday morning for it to finally clear out and give all of those folks a chance to dig themselves out more of snow. back here in town, look at that beautiful sunshine. we'll have partly cloudy skies, maybe even mostly clear skies tonight. foot hill locations will sew a few more clouds through 8:00 tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon looks to be a very mild day with partly cloudy skies. once we get to saturday evening, the next system pushes in, hitting the mountains first before it moves in sunday afternoon, sunday evening, onto the front range. for your temperatures out there tonight, a little on the cool side, but not bad. 17, the low for greeley.

fort collins will see a low of 21. mountain areas will be dipping well into the teens. western slope, about 20 for an overnight low. eastern plains will see lows in the lower to middle 20s. getting into tomorrow, not record-setting. record highs in the upper 60s, but this is nice. 57 for denver. 51 for greeley. fort collins will climb to a high of 55. out east, 50s and 60s. we'll see 30s and 40s in the mountains, and a high of about 40 out around grand junction. denver, our forecast, we're calling for a low of 27 tonight. clear, calm, cool, nothing to worry about for us. winds out of the southwest at 5 to 10 miles per hour. tomorrow afternoon, 57, the high. partly cloudy, even warmer than what we saw today. winds, a little breezy from time to time out of the southwest at 5 to 10. sunday is when things get cooler. that's as the system crosses i- 25. highs reach the low 40s. we'll cool off quickly, especially as we start to see snow move in.

accumulating snow for us monday morning. that's when we're looking at it wrapping up, monday morning. but 1 to 3 inches is what the forecast is calling for right now. highs will reach about 35 degrees. tuesday. then we warm right back up to a high of 50 on wednesday. we've got one little system moving in that's going to interrupt our nice forecast. but i think we certainly can handle it, especially when you compare it to what is going on out on the east coast. tell you what, really think the patriots are thanking their lucky stars they are here now instead of later, because that might become an issue for anybody traveling. >> right. it's going to be miserable for so many people. just feel for them. >> this system is just huge. >> we've been on the other side of this, where it's been bad here and great elsewhere. >> just going to say, seems like we flip-flopped with the east coast. >> which, you know what? i'm okay with the break, letting other people take it versus us for a change. you just hope that everyone

nobody tries to venture out unless they absolutely have to. >> it is a weekend. that's a good thing. >> absolutely. >> definitely helpful. >> becky, thanks. >> you bet. with the game just two days away, you've still got time, you still have time, to get your broncos magnet. >> christine noelle is at the king soopers in aurora handing them out. >> reporter: it is beautiful outside. it's friday, and it's a big let's go broncos!
