hey there, meteorologist danielle grant in the 9news backyard. we started off the week with some serious notice around here. now as we're winding down nothing but sunshine, a beautiful day with bright blue

too. you can see allison griffin capturing this great one she tweeted in. we love it. keep them coming. use the #9wx. today upper 30s. that blue sky made it feel warmer, 39 in greeley, some low 40s like lamar, teens in leadville, 20s in rifle and grand junction, only got to 9 in gunnison. now at dia we're at 19 degrees, , mostly clear skies and the winds continue to pick up at 14 miles per hour. look at that wind chill, in the 9news backyard our temperature is 26. factor in the lightest little wind making it feel cooler. you see the worst of it out to the foothills. about 34 mile-per-hour speeds in blackhawk, 20 for allenspark and nederland, loveland pass, dumont, genesee in the 30 mile- per-hour range and around the i- 25 corridor relatively quiet.

looking at the worst of it as the high wind warning continues for them into tomorrow evening. wind gusts to 70 miles an hour. i-80 and i-25 will be tough drifting snow. one storm system sinking to our south and east, high pressure behind it keeping us dry and relatively warm tomorrow. the cold front will nudge into the state late saturday night into sunday. that will really just cool us off it. won't bring a ton of moisture, but it will kick up the wind quite a bit and cool us off. on hd doppler 9 it's been a quiet day. you can see the wind and blowing and drifting snow the radar is picking up. the rest of this evening it should be quiet and calm. 11:00 tonight mostly clear skies overnight and tomorrow 7 a.m. waking up we'll have wall to wall sunshine. it should be a beautiful start to the day and temperatures

you can see a little cloud deck over i-25 in the afternoon 1:00, 2:00. i think with the gustier winds south of the foothills we might see a bit of a mountain wave cloud develop, but it schultz last long. tomorrow evening if you're -- shouldn't last long. tomorrow evening if you're out on the town, it shouldn't be that bad no, snow or rain in sight for a while. tonight temperatures cool off to the teens for the eastern plains. in the high country we're down to single digits in some spots, gunnison and alamosa, subzero. tonight in the metro area we'll be down to about 19, mostly clear skies, the winds come at us swiftly from the southwest 5 to 15 with wind gusts in the 30 to 40 mile-per-hour range in the foothills. tomorrow a day in the 50s, how about that? we'll have mostly sunny skies and we'll see some big time melting tomorrow with all the snowfall. it's still probably in your front yard and backyard and everywhere in between. 40s and 50s in the eastern plains with all that sunshine tomorrow and pretty nice up in the high country, a lot of

neared land, grand lake, idaho springs -- nederland, grand lake, idaho springs. mid- to upper 50s in northern colorado and as this front dives in early sunday morning it's going to cool us off. good day to stay inside and watch the super bowl. the winds kick up, but the temperatures soar back to the 50s and 60s for much of next week. from colorado sports leader here's rod mackey. >> reporter: welcome back to santa clara, california. we continue to be live right in front of the broncos teal hotel and in two days from today super -- team hotel and in two days from today super bowl 50 will be underway, peyton versus cam. obviously we spent a lot of time talking about no. 18, so let's talk about the guy on the other side of the football, the bad guy, you will, because he's playing for the panthers. that will be likely mvp cam

through the air, 12 on the ground. it's tough to stop this guy. he's 6' 5, 245, almost the same size as demarcus ware. >> cam newton is a challenge. he's one of those guys where he's sort of two players in one. you usually go against a typical quarterback and they don't really run the ball. so if you beat the tackle, you just go on and make the big play or get the sack, but with cam you have to first of all beat the tackle and then he is the running back, also. he can run the ball, string plays out and make those throws down the field deep that the great quarterbacks do. so that's the challenge that you run up against, but you also got to know what type of guys you have on our defense that can slow those type of things down. >> reporter: now cam newton has a lot of football left in him. peyton, he's almost done. in fact, most believe he will be done after sunday's super bowl, but just in case peyton

brother eli manning has a job for him if peyton wants it. >> you know, i offered if he wants to come be a quality control for the giants and maybe earn a little respect and see if he can know anything and help out a quarterback in the quarterback room a little bit, i could probably make a call or two and find him a spot. >> reporter: i'll tell you what. peyton has a lot of options. something tells me that's not one that he will want to follow up on. big game is sunday once again, broncos versus the panthers. denver continues to be the underdog, a six point underdog, but all the buzz around here at the team hotel is about the guys not in orange but wearing white this time around. once again, today was their final practice over at stanford. they will go through a walk- through tomorrow at 11:00 at levi's stadium where they actually play the game and after this try to get to sleep.

going to be tough to do and then super bowl 50 against those carolina panthers, cannot wait. guys, back to you. >> there's some people doing a walk-through of our set there in santa clara. >> yeah. right now behind you. >> more walk-throughs right there. thank you, rod. >> we'll be right back.

here we are friday evening, the weekend is almost here and it looks really nice, tomorrow temperatures back to the 50s. it's been a while. really all week long we've been stuck in the deep freeze. the snowfall is going to start >> i know. it's about time. a quick little front moves in sunday and knocks down temperatures a bit. it will pick up our wind in the foothills, 50, 60 mile-per-hour gusts and we start to warm things up next week, you guys, 50s, 60s and virtually no storms. >> look at sunday. >> until then. >> don't worry about that. >> we have a long way to go. we've got to get through this game out there in california and i think broncos will be

70s in february. >> that's perfect. >> kickoff and throughout the game, okay, 60s. >> oh. grab the jackets. >> poor guys. >> it really should be a good game for them, great weather and a great day for us to stay inside and watch it. >> perfection. entertainment tonight is next. we hope to see you back here at 9:00 and 10:00.
