good morning. a power outage in atlanta has caused a system-wide outage for delta around the world. you can see the long lines here at d.i.a. i will let you know more about it today. >> tough morning. >> caucasian, black, hi, pulled over by denver police, they will be asking you about your race. >> and phelps for the olympic gold medal number 19. >> a big night in the pool for the most decorated olympian for all time and his teammates for team usa swimming. it was a party. and will that success continue today when coloradan missy franklin hits the pool? we hope so. >> cheryl preheim and matt will join us from reo in just a

action in rio. first let's get you set for the day with a look at the week ahead. marty coniglio is in the 9 news backyard. a hot start to the workweek. it is going to be, much warmer today, temperatures in the low 90s. storm chances are small here. though it is very stormy on the western slope. it does turn cooler later this week. it is fairly quiet around here now, a couple of wannabe showers to the east and it has been extremely active however from the san juans through the elk mountains and the aspen area and now especi colorado river, and back to glenwood canyon, and in northwestern colorado. these are not huge storms. they are not covering gigantic areas but just a tremendous amount of lightning in these storms. and in the last 30 minutes, almost 700 whitening strikes in these storms -- lightning strikes in these storms. and these will begin to die down between now and 9:00 a.m. a quiet morning. mid-60s now. and upper 70s, by 10:00 this morning. and on our way, to highs in the upper 80s.

89. and i think we will hit 90 to 92 and the storm chances are very small today. so do not be counting on any rain later in the day today. and you know, we will see a lot of folks who get shut out in these kind of situations, amelia. >> and rain in the afternoon. >> yes. and sky 9 is up and about. the morning drive. they are looking at 270 and york. and southbound and eastbound, a stall blocking the far right shoulder and the delays go back to i-25. so this might days where you opt for southbound 25 to eastbound i-70 because it could be a great way to maybe tack on a little distance and save yourself a few minutes from the stop and go backups. the central corridor of i-95 looking nice from 25 to university. easy speeds and great conditions out of the denver tech center. and up to the north, highway 7 is also looking good. along hi 25. the e-470 corridor, wide open to the east side. however, we've got two problems, one out to the far

club road and state highway 30. and very close to all of the neighborhoods to the east of hesmed-470 and out west, we still have a left lane blocked, near georgetown, and light backups, less than five minutes, eastbound and westbound this morning, corey? >> amelia, thank you. delta flights worldwide are grounded this morning. after the airline suffered a systemwide computer failure. >> the outage is affecting flights from denver to london and everywhere in between. >> 9 news reporter colleen ferreira is this morning and it looks like the lines are pretty long out there. >> reporter: for sure, guys, the line keeps growing at d.i.a. delta says there is a power outage in atlantaa which caused the system-wide outage, that's why all flights around the world are grounded right now and that's why you see the lines behind me at the delta counter, they get longer and longer and it seems most people will be here for a while and delta is saying there could be wide scale cancellations throughout the day, because of this. and now, if you come here to

boards, guys, those are confusing, those do not reflect what the real status of your flight is. a lot of people come in here and they see the flights are technically still on time but they're not. the flight boards also impacted by this outage. also delta's web site impacted. so a lot of people right now can't even check their flight status. very confusing time right now. i would suggest tweeting delta, at delta, really on twitter because i have seen them answering people's questions on twitter and that em sos to be the only way to get a hold of delta this morning. i want to here, chatting with patrick, a passenger of delta and where are you headed today? >> minneapolis. >> there are some people here from delta and what are they telling you? >> they are saying it is a power outage. and they are not sure when they will get the system back up. if you wanted to book a flight on another carrier, they would give you a refund. so that was nice, they're very accommodating from that standpoint and trying to figure out if i can get on another flight or wait until this flight gets up. all flights have been canceled. and we should know hopefully sometime soon. >> hopefully sometime soon.

people, we don't know when though. and we will find out what is happening and when things will be restore. you're flying for business. a lot of people are flying on the last week of summer break. is this impacting your business a lot today? >> i will probably miss a few appointments depending what time i get to appointments and we have great clients that should understand and work through it. >> you are very understanding. very accommodating. you know what? that is so great about the crowd out here this morning, i have been chatting with so many of these passengers and they have been complimenting each other and saying people are hanging out and playing a game on their cell phones. fairly calm crowd out here and a lot of people are not happy but not stressing out too much right now. at least. >> being patient. >> that's nice. >> that is a good thing. >> you don't always see that. >> thank you. and 6:05 right now. a huge sunday in the pool for team usa. with big gold medal victories for both the men and women's teams. >> and the 400-meter free style final, katie la decky smashed

to take the gold medal. >> and the men's side, michael phelps and nathan adrian and the other two swimmers took gold in the free style relay. 19th medal for phelps. >> and the biggest party so far has been in the swimming venue. >> yes, you bet. it is where all of the cool kids are hanging out these days. and certainly where all of excitement is. those swimmers are going so fast in their speed or the high winds we saw yesterday but blowing the sides off of the aquatics venue, literally. >> a party in the swim venue, late night. when are you watching, consider that these athletes are competing at midnight rio time to win a gold medal and grab a bedtime snack and call it a day. >> who doesn't do that? >> matt renew's daily schedule. a tuesday for matt. >> missy franklin has her shot tonight for the first

style. she is a veteran at 1 years old at the olympics. -- 21 years old at the lrnlings. four gold medals and a bronze on her resume. this year is different. she is coming back from injury and that is a challenge. and one of the things she is doing to regain some strength and flexibility is pilates and when we saw her do that, i asked, maybe she should have been a two sport athlete. >> i did not know you were so >> future talent. >> future talent. >> you could double on the gymnastics team. >> i think i would like touch the high bars, if i did gymnastics. maybe not. thanks to the gymnasts, 2016, watch out. >> did you know were you that flexible? >> i have loved to dance and kind of known i was flexible based on that. but yes, it is kind of like a

secretly gumby and i don't know where it comes from. >> gumby the olympian. pretty good. >> i am ready for that olympic sport. >> i cannot do any of it. not that i can do any of this stuff anyways. so we are hoping that the weather gets a little bit nicer today. because yesterday, we had some wild winds tearing through the olympic park here in rio. >> my god. umbrellas the fencing areas were being blown away. and people were being blown away. >> peeling back some of the walls of the swimming venue, the original art on the side ripped and unraveled. so what they have had to do is take off the panels that ripped so now there are four huge pables that are just open -- huge panels that are just open air into the swimming venue. we have been checking around the rest of the park and most of the areas have been put back

ev lunch in the hot brazilian sun, no more umbrellas. >> there were about, what, dozens, 40 or 50, of these umbrella, patio umbrellas, all of them ripped down on to the ground and today they are taking all of them away. >> they were actually really happy to hear that we don't think anybody was hurt, because some of the things that were flying around were 50 to 100 pounds. and it was a pretty intense moment here. >> very dangerous around there, guys. of course today, thank goodness, they won't ed while. because it is cloudy there. i will have an update on rio weather in just a few moments. today, monsoon wind pattern, short circuited. what is going on? down by cabo. that is tropical storm javier. forecast to move up over the baja california peninsula. and with some heavy rain, and winds up to 60 or 70 miles an hour. over the next couple of days, and rain, especially in the southern tip of baja, in and around cabo.

to five inches. after all our morning storms today, we will pick up storms this afternoon, on an isolated basis around here. the strongest storms over the state anticipated to be over the northeast corner of colorado. that is where we could see some of our best rains. >> keep an eye on it. thank you. parallel parking is tough. [ laughter ] >> not easy by any means. and we have all had those moments where it may take a few tries to get it right. >> back and forth, back and forth. >> one driver in virginia it wrong. really wrong. $300,000 mistake wrong. >> that doesn't look good. >> before we led to break, we would like to do a little patriotic bragging. the u.s. currently leads all countries with 12 medals total. four bronze. and five silver. and three gold. those numbers, promise to keep going today, as we head into the first full week of the olympics. and we will keep updating the

it is always so fun to see matt and cheryl in rio every

rio. this is the web cam on copacabana reach. and it is not a great beach day but the anticipation is for the skies to clear a bit today. only in the mid-70s. showers moving back in midweek. especially tomorrow night into wednesday morning. and a fairly cool week. remember, it is winter in rio this time of the year. and we have thunderstorms going in western colorado. and that is a tremendous amount of lightning that is happening. and th javier and heavy rain toward ka cab go in the next 24 hours. the storms look huge because of the lightning strikes. a phenomenal amount of lightning. and 5,000 strikes per hour with the storms. and for this afternoon, a couple of storms. i would refer to it as a handsful at most, and most places not much rain and a few areas with a couple of rain showers late this afternoon.

the daytime highs and we will hit those by 3:00, and 70s and 80s in the foothills. it is very humid over eastern colorado. and humidity, equals energy. and that is where we could see some strong storms, especially over the northeast corner of the state, with the best opportunity for some strong storms and decent rain in the eastern san juans today. and 80s and 90s east and west. and 70s, in the mountains. today, 92, and partly cloudy and just a brief isolated afternoon storm tonight. and we go with ve of lightning, early, early in the evening and then clear out, and hit the 60s, and tomorrow is warm, with a small chance for a storm, and in fact the storm chances are really tiny this week. with javier pulling in a lot of the monsoon moisture. it is actually going to dry us out quite a bit as we cool down headed into this weekend. >> thanks, marty. sky 9 is now over gun club road and highway 30 out to the east of e-470 where a crash involving a car and motorcycle is is now blocking part of the intersection. the motorcycle is down on its

there. police are on the scene. traffic is still getting by. but going to add a couple extra minutes for commuters in the area. it looks like a pretty bad crash here. the next 15 or 20. a look at the rest of the commute across the c-dot cameras with plenty of volume southbound cracking along i-25 coming from 58th avenue. really toward i-70 at the mouse strap. stop and go. this is an unusually heavy delay. once you get into downtown, you will tack on another couple minutes as you push into the city, drive out of there dtc. about 14 minutes. average speed about 66. but those drop down into the 30s before we know. it there is the gun club road crash and state highway 30 across the east side. good news at georgetown, after an earlier wreck involving a couple of cars westbound at georgetown, with pretty big delays. all lanes are now clear and back to normal. the views 0 ut to the boulder drive. looking nice. gorgeous colors in the distance. pretty pinks and light blues as we peek out toward the flat irons. >> that is beautiful, amelia,

a small memorial marks the spot where a try athlete was hit and killed taking part in the boulder ironman. a driver hit and killed the 34- year-old nebraska native michelle walters during the cycling near u.s. 66 north of broadway, an area blocked off for cyclists. police don't think drugs or alcohol caused the crash. the second death in two years in the boulder iron man and the fourth cycling death b months. sunday marked nine months since a drunk driver killed the state trooper jamie jursevics and on the last day of the county fair, she was remembered. hundreds of people took a moment to reflect and remember the fallen state trooper. 400 handwritten messages attached to roses, covered a special patrol car with the badge number on it and initials. >> the thought of somebody losing their life.

and what they sacrificed, it is pretty amazing. >> the 400 roses will soon line the fallen trooper's head stone in castle rock. all of the handwritten notes will be given to jursevics' 1- year-old daughter, so when she is old enough, she can read the kind words about her mother. >> and remember her. and denver police start to collect racial information often the people they come in contact with now. there are complaints about a lack of accountabilit recent protests over police- involved shootings of black men say the information is necessary to keep the public informed. it is 6:18 right now. and 12 feet tall. red, white and blue. >> and it angered someone to

as people in mexico are getting ready for newly formed tropical storm javier, several mountain communities ar slides. 39 people died, and the mud slides were caused by heavy rain from the remnants of hurricane earl. and right now, tropical storm javier is moving over the pacific, toward the southern end of baja, california. water park in kansas city, is closed this morning, after the death of a young boy. 10-year-old caleb thomas schwab died sunday at the schlitterbahn water park, and

attractions, the world's tallest water slide. the ride will be closed as investigators look into what happened. >> terrible story. firefighters in california are working on a fire that started in san bernardino and forcing people from their homes. it started sunday. hundreds of firefighters as well as seven air tankers have been brought in to try to put it out. all right, was it a ferrari benz maybe? whatever you want to call it. when these two ca virginia roadway, it made for a costly combo. we will talk about that coming up in just a minute. but first let's check the weather and the traffic. >> heart breaking. >> heart breaking. around here, a more pleasant picture here. southwestern colorado. thank you to the city of uray to share it. and when do people climb chimney rock? we will have to look into that. and not out hiking and working,

the afternoon. be thank. it wasn't back in 1878, which is when we had the first 105 degrees on this date. and one of the hottest temperatures in denver. and i say one of the hottest. because more recently, we have hit 105 degrees, july 20, 2005 and a couple of consecutive days in june of 2012. now that would be brutal. >> that would be brutal. and marty, i'm going to take my credit here. to i just tag the city in that tweet. let's take a look at the drive here. 225. and i-25, the split, looking okay. and a good indication of what it feels like to be in traffic for the morning rush. we are definitely dealing with some slowdowns. out to the east, we have some problems along the soid streets and gun club road at state highway 30, a section of the road at gun club and state highway 30, shut down because of the motorcycle accident and

more information coming up.

6:26. the time now. the small kentucky town had the look of a horror film over the week, thanks fot first-ever

the town has a theme outside of the zombie famous tv show. the creator and comic that the show is based off of is a native of sentiana. now the town has a special name. >> and your dream come true. >> cool. >> yes. >> we have always had problems parking before but hopefully have you not made this costly of a mistake. the driver of a classic mercedes in great falls virginia was trying to park when she reversed on to th that's a $300,000 car. >> yes. >> and it is a 458 edition. a very special edition of a ferrari 458. and you're almost in tears. >> how does that happen? >> how does that happen, right? >> it looked like she was trying to pull in the space, instead of backing into the space, which is a no-no. >> never hit a car that cost more than yours. that is my motto. >> if i saw the open space, i would go around the corner and

>> and an american fencer making history.

no one is going anywhere. delta passengers around the world are stuck after a systemwide computer outage ground all outgoing flights. 9 news reporter colleen ferreira is live at d.i.a. this morning, and colleen, what

passengers right now? >> reporter: so right now, tarhonda, they are getting everyone organized and several different lines out here at d.i.a. and from there, they will start to check people in, as best as they can. with the outage that they have in place right now. and very confusing for a lot of passengers. a lot of people really don't know what is happening and where they're going and what time they're leaving and that's the thing, we really don't know when this outage will be fixed. so a lot of people should plan to be here, for a while, and especially heading out to d.i.a. this morning, and delta is saying that there will be definitely expect those, and this is a power outage in atlanta and that began about 12:30 in the morning our time and impacted the power outage and caused the problems that we're having right now. if the flight took off before the outage happened, that international flight, heading into denver, that could be still on the way here. so if you're picking someone up this morning and they took off before the outage happened,

denver. but nothing since this outage has taken off around the world. a lot of people here are frustrated but really at this point, they are saying we don't know what we will do, and here is what you can do though. you cannot go to the web site to check the flight status because that is not going to reflect the time properly. if you come here to d.i.a., the flight board, it will tell you about the flight status, that is not reflecting the proper status of your flight right now. since nothing is taken off here at d.i.a. and delta is sa offering travel waivers for customers traveling today, through august 12. and i just tweeted out the link where you can go. under some circumstances, you can change your flight or get a full refund for your flight. and that may be the option you want to take. and if you don't want to deal with everything that is happening out here today. and so, guys, i mean it is a very confusing night for a lot of people and we don't know a lot of about what is happening here. i have been reading tweets from across the country and some say the outages are affecting more

are trying to get things organized between priority customers and first class passengers and everyone else traveling, and from there, hopefully they can start checking people in, an at least start getting people on their way. but still, nothing has taken off here just yet. >> that looks fairly miserable there. >> it does. >> the line is getting longer and longer. >> colleen, thank you for explaining everything for us. good morning, everyone. thanks for joining us. gary, tarhonda, corey with you this morning. a significant cooldown. but the temperatures, well, they kind of went back up on sunday. are we going to weather marty. >> we sure are. we have seen a little bit of rain here and there. and not everybody getting rain at their place and close enough to catch the imagery. this is julian, and great double rainbow shot from yesterday. dry conditions now. and you don't have to go very far to see some thunderstorms this morning and we have had areas of storms, throughout the western slopes this morning, and with a tremendous amount of lightning, and it is dry and it is warm, in the upper 60s now and close to 80 degrees,

we will move them through, and that typical late afternoon time period, and they will small storms which means a lot of us will be in the dead zones, in between the storms, so don't look for a tremendous amount of rain in a lot of places today. 70s to near 80 here. with 80s and 90s, at lower elevations. so we are going to be pushing back up, close to our 89-degree average high temperature. coming up, we will take a look into the tail end of the week. and it >> thank you, marty. 6:34. and go up and check in with the i-225 and 29 split and it is busy and it is busy but not a problematic drive. at least on a monday commute, you don't have to worry about denver tech center problems. aurora for the most part is clear on the highways. and i-25 is looking good across the city. let's look at the c-dot cams, and talk about the problem spots with the light delays. and one of the problem spots is 270. here is the thing. you have options.

get you around a pretty solid backup here. south and eastbound. a 14 minute ride coming up to york street. a crash and a stall on the far right shoulder. two lanes of traffic getting by. if you stick it up along i-25 southbound and connect with eastbound i-70, a pretty good option. and then great news to the east. across an earlier crash of south gun club at highway 30. everything is reopened. that motorcycle accident has been cleared from the road. but it does sound like the motorcyclist injuries. >> don't like to hear that. amelia, thank you. investigators want to know what led up to a deadly shooting in adams county over the weekend. it happened early sunday morning east of arvada, when deputies arrived two men were shot and two others went to the hospital with minor injuries. and deputies arrested brandon carr and another man, and they face charges of first-degree murder. a man accused in the car theft

earlier today. ignatio dagele police say caused a crash that killed a person in march. the man was found several days later at his grandmother's house. he is charged with vehicular homicide. it is 6:36 right now. a 12-year-old being treated at a hospital in denver this morning, after falling 75 feet, from colorado springs on sunday. the child was hurt near hetten hunt falls. and then flown to children's hospital. few details about the child's ri have been released. a terrifying moment in the skies above colorado springs. a sky diving plane caught fire with 13 passengers on board. all of them were able to parachute to safety. and the pilot was eventually able to land safely at the colorado springs east airport. and investigators believe the fire may have started after a bird got caught in the engine. it is 6:36 right now. a suicide bomber killed at least 53 people at a hospital in pakistan this morning. dozens more were hurt.

pakistani lawyers at the government-run hospital at the time. and police believe that had some connection to the attack. and no one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet. gunmen in afghanistan have abducted an american and an australian citizen. the five gunmen were wearing military uniforms, when they abducted the pair from their vehicle in kabul. the victims are believed to be employees of the nearby american university of afghanistan. 6:37 right now. they are different campaigns as you know but donald trump and hillary clinton are expected to focus on the same thing when they give speeches this week. trump is set to unveil his economic plan today, in detroit. and he has promised to double the economic growth of the country and expected to explain how that would happen. and he is going to outline his proposed tax cuts. hillary clinton meanwhile will deliver more about her economic plan on thursday in detroit. and capping off two weeks of

focusing on jobs and the economy. she has been talking about a massive infrastructure project to put people back to work. meanwhile, a giant ode to donald trump was set on fire in new york city. the owner had a 12-foot tall " t," a red, white and blue one in his yard and caught fire early sunday morning. fire marshals investigating it as a possible arson. the homeowner says his support for donald trump, like the sign will only grow. changes to the e-cigarette industry have been a long time coming and starting today the fda will bring the entire industry over federal oversight. jessica joins us now to talk about the tougher restrictions and people want to know how this will impact consumers. >> reporter: the big question, corey. in colorado, we don't flow if it will have a big impact on consumers because part of the fda's new regulation is already in place. in our state. now the biggest impact will be

vaporizers and hookahs, and e cigarettes and pipe tobacco. the sales banned to anyone under 18 and that already exists in colorado but nationally a big problem. the fda estimates more than 3 million middle and high school students used e-cigs regularly last year and what the rules do not do is ban advertisements or sircht kinds of flavoring -- different kinds of flavoring with the e-cigs and this this is what attracts underaged users to the product in the first place. >> regulations fall woefully short and kids are using the flavors and targeting children, and sadly the fda did nothing about it. >> and american lung association now saying more needs to be done. under the regulation, the manufacturers will have to register their products to the fda for review. and the bait shops also can't hands out samples at their stores. and there is debate, and uncertainty, when it comes to the health effects of e cigarettes and another reason why the fda says it is requiring manufacturers to

data. guys? >> okay, jessica, thank you. it is 6:39 right now. and we will soon be able to read the e-mails of some city council members, loveland, fort colins, and layer mer county, are now allowing the public to see what the elected officials are sending. only their government e-mail accounts though are acceptable. communications marked confidential by counselors or other centers will not be viewable. city officials say this is all a way of making government more transparent. thunderstorms over the western slopes have had a tremendousam in them. and over the next two hours, they will die down. only to reform in the heat of the day later in the day. not very many storms here over the front range. so don't be counting on too many areas getting rain. and strongest storms today, will be over the northeast corner of colorado, and specifically logan, phillips, sedgewick counties, and up into the nebraska panhandle. those are areas where we could see some severe thunderstorms. later in the day. cathy will be tracking those for you. >> all right.

american olympic history this week in rio. >> it won't be for what this center does with the sword but what she is wearing while she does it. >> more bad news for the

we have a little bit of a short circuit in the monsoon this week. and a lot of that is because of tropical storm javier. now moving toward baja. and pretty strong tropical storm. right now with 65 mile-an-hour winds. it looks like it will make land fall later in the evening with 50 to 60 mile-an-hour winds. and that will go toward cabo san lucas. this is going to be inches of rain and the 50 to 60 mile-an-hour winds. and what that is doing is pulling some of the available moisture away from colorado. which is lowering our storm chances over the next few days. and they're not zero, but they sure are not as good as they would be during a normal mon soon time. >> thank you, marty. 6:44. we are checking in with sky 9 over the mousetrap drive.

and today is no exception. slowing down to the approach to i-70. the ramps are running clear with the exception of the southbound transition from the north end. >> and the delays from commerce city, making things tough and a stall blocking the right shoulder, southbound and eastbound 270 at york. big time delay, 16 minutes and a better option today, southbound 25 to eastbound i- 70. corey? >> amelia, thank you. it is 6:45 right now. we are launching a ne incredible week at the olympics. coming off a big night of swimming and gymnastics with the best yet to come with team usa. cheryl preheim and matt are in rio and a fencer is doing something different for dressing for the competition. >> ibtihaj humid will be

sport where she could dress modestly. >> and she found that sport in fencing and competing in that sport since 2002, and this year, qualified to represent her home country, on the united states olympic team. where she will be the first muslim to wear a hijab and qualify for the summer olympics. being muslim, she says she has faced discrimination before, but not this year, and one political candidate calling for muslims to be deported and she says it is frustrating to be an athlete who wants to her country. >> it is frustrating a little bit. especially because i, you know, every time i go out there, on the field of play, i am, you know, representing our country and hoping to do the job, and to represent my country well, to the best of my ability. so to have anyone kind of challenge that, that idea, that, you know, me as a religious minority, as an ethnic minority, that i don't belong, it is very frustrating

platform as an athlete to change the bigotry and hate that may stem from certain team. >> along with fencing, she's also got a clothing line for fashionable modest apparel for women who want that. and she was once mentioned in a speech by president obama for some of her accomplishments. >> and a big congratulations this morning to corey cogdill, and coloradans know her, a lot of friends in the denver area and she and her husband mitch, live for the denver broncos and she won a bronze medal in shooting and did it in the most pressure- packed scenario. in a shootoff. >> really just comes down to one target at a time. and hit and miss. one win or lose. so i just tried to continue to calm myself down. focusing on the fact that, you know i wanted to win this medal and what i needed to do, to do that. i'm fortunate that have i been able to make my friends and

maybe, you never know, maybe we will go for 2020. >> 2020, i love that. and that would be great. we are so happy for her. and her husband mitch could not be here. he is busy doing a little thing called training camp. he plays for the chicago bears now. they call each other, the greatest sports fan. >> missing out on a lot of shopping. sat lake. london, sochi, rio. one common thread. people like to buy stuff. a lot of >> what is is cute. but be careful of that ball, kid. it is pretty expensive. the rio superstore there, a lot of merchandise, mascots, t- shirts, olympic soccer ball, bring your reels, and it is expects that it will bring in a million dollars worth of merchandise that will be sold and one reason that we find the prices so high, the olympic soccer ball, it is before $100. >> that broke my heart, because the one thing my little boys

back a soccer ball. soccer ball or college education. >> the kid will pick soccer ball. >> mom is in charge. i pick education. >> the big item everyone is talking about is these, these plastic inflatable hands. >> yes. >> got to land it to you, cheryl. these things are pretty impressive. >> yes. >> but give me high five. >> down low. >> on the side. >> too slow.

the international para-olympic committee banned all russians in next month's para-olympics. it is all because of alleged state-sponsored doping. russian para-olympic finished first in the medal count in sochi in 2014. they finished second in london in 2012. so quite a competitive team. russia plans to appeal the ban. >> all right. it is 6:51 right now. and in sports, rockies fan, well, they didn't get to see their home team win on sunday. but they did get to >> the 2-0. ichiro, to right. and deep. that goes to the wall. it is off the wall? 3,000 is in right field. and ichiro is racing for third. and he has done it! >> yup, florida's ichiro suzuki, tripled his way into the record books on sunday. notching number 3,000.

major league baseball to join the 3,000 club. and rockies lost to the marlins 10-7 and four games back of miami for the wildcard spot. i called them florida. it is miami now. and i always for get about that. they changed their name. >> hard to keep up. >> a consistent player and i think he had 1300 hits when he played in japan before coming here. >> he has played for seattle most of the career here but he played in japan for so long, that he has done it in such a short amount of time. >> amazing. >> yes. >> because it is in the american system now. >> and he played in japan before coming here. after a brief cool-off, temperatures back in the 90s

today, we have less moisture to work with. one of the reasons is tropical storm javier going in the gulf of california, to cabo san lucas, a huge mass of clouds down there. and storms going, not only in western colorado, but now a new line of storms with fort morgan and brush, through weld county and up into nebraska. and going to be a stormy day over the northeast, because we will get the storms this morning and then again, this afternoon. and fairly quiet around here. one or two storms over the i-25 corridor late this afternoon. and not very many of us are going to be lucky enough to see rain, or i should say experience rain, and you might be able to see it off in the distance, and are you not really going to get any at your place. and the temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s, early today. and with 70s and 80s, in the mountains. and we have the thunderstorms,

in the afternoon. to reform on a stronger basis. late in the day. and we have very few storms here and a couple in the central part of the state and rain today, pretty good in the eastern san juan, and in parts of monument hill, especially monument hill south, down to the northwest side of colorado springs. and the heaviest rain in the northeast corner of the state, with showers this morning. and then again this afternoon. 80s, 90s, and east and west. and with 70s and 80s in today, it is 89, and just a little bit above that, at 92, with partly cloudy skies, and isolated storm, brief rumble of thunder and lightning early this evening before we clear out. and slightly warmer tomorrow. and rain chances are going to be small because the monsoon has been broken up a bit by the big tropical storm. sky 9 over 125 at 104th and southbound traffic is not quite backed up to the north end of

a big problem on 270 and talk about that on the maps. a live look here out across the c-dot camera and highway 85, low visibility to the north near greeley. and highway 85 still in the clear with pretty normal drive times. overall. and 25 and university. usually we've got this backup. so there is nothing unusual going on here. but check this out, southbound delays, they are coming through, now turning it around, on the right shoulder stall. not a crash, a stall blocking the right shoulder drive. and backups are all the way to santa fe, and al problem, i mentioned, we still have an accident at york street and 12 minutes is the drive time, southbound 25, crowded out, linking up to i-70. whether you take 25 to 70, or over to 270, both are pretty tough options today. >> amelia, thank you. >> boy, a mess out there in some places. today's top stories, passengers stuck at airports around the world, including d.i.a. because of a delta computer outage. all of the flights are waiting to take off.

this is a live look at d.i.a. and you can see long lines at the check-in. so right now delta doesn't know when things will be fixed. they are warning travelers to expect delays. and cancellations. that line is just longer and longer. >> what a nightmare. >> and the second time in two years, a competitor in the boulder ironman has died. 34-year-old woman, hit and killed, during the cycling portion of the race on sunday. and michelle walters was from nebraska. and she was hit at u.s. 36 just h of the car was under the influence. this is the fourth cycling death in boulder county in the last three months. a 12-year-old is being treated at a denver hospital this morning, on sunday, the child fell 75 feet, near helen hunt falls. that is a water fall near colorado springs. the 12-year-old was then flown here to children's hospital colorado. we are working to find out more about how that child is doing today. the denver police department has a new plan to

the new policy comes after complaints about a lack of accountability within the department. chief robert white says he wants to keep the public informed and the information is necessary, especially after recent protests over police- involved shootings of black men. slightly warmer to start the week, with very few storms over the area. and then we start cooling off. into the weekend. let's see if that lasts into next week. and it doesn't really. we are going to have another big warmup coming for the early interesting little pattern we have here. >> yes, it is. >> yes. >> and then we heat back up for the workweek. >> narty, thanks much. >> 6:59 right now. drinking and driving, not alcohol, coffee. coming up on channel 20, a new bill in new jersey that has caffeine addicts a bit more jittery than usual. >> you would be in trouble. >> yes. i think so. [ laughter ] >> i think that is true. >> all right, so we are going over to channel 20. we hope you can join us. if you're staying with the "today" show, have a great day.

good morning. americans rule the pool. >> going to give them a significant lead. >> a big night for michael phelps and katie ledecky. phelps adding a 19th gold medal to his record olympic haul in the 4 by 100 meter relay, while katie lecky shatters her own world record in her own free, leaving her competition way behind. >> ledecky is on the way to history in these games. the u.s. gymnastics team dominant as they begin their quest for gold. >> beautifully executed. >> but a stunner in tennis. three-time doubles champ serena and venus williams out in the first round.
