deputy colby martin was seriously injured and another deputy was hurt. >> they should have had at least jefferson county come in and respond as a s.w.a.t. team with park county to either deescalate the situation or come in with an entry team, a s.w.a.t. entry team, to apprehend ordeal with mr. we park county never should have just had mr. martin, mr. carrigan enter that facility by themselves. they shouldn't have done that. >> nate carrigan's father told 9wants to know today that it's not about the money for them. it's about getting information about what actually happened. he also wants the sheriff and his command staff out of their jobs. late this afternoon i was able to speak to the park countyunder sheriff who told me the sheriff wants to release as much information about what

next week. >> you'll follow up then. thank you. >> yes. along with the heat today there's a slightly better chance for some isolated showers and thunderstorms across the north eastern plains. rains could also bring some gusty winds. those showers will likely be a little more widespread up in the high country. meteorologist kathy sabine joining us now from the weather center. another warm one to start the workweek. >> nothing you can't handle out there today, john man, on monday. everybody wants to on monday. everybody wants to cruise through the day and we don't have much in the way of severe weather expected tonight, tomorrow or the next day, but if you look outside, those clouds are dark and look like they mean business. not expecting heavy rain or hail, but these clouds are tracking off the foothills. up high in rocky national park it's been raining all day and some lightning where temperatures held in the mid- 70s, 90 degrees at dia anded 2

toward fort lupton, about 87 in dove valley. there's cool air lurking north of us that will be here later in the week. we're tracking weak thundershowers coming off the foothills producing lightning and wind, but the only high wind warning is west of salt lake city tonight. the big story continues in the gulf coast region with that area of low pressure spinning near houston. we have recorded another 3 to 6. of rain and this snare -- 6 inches of scenario will improve gradually. the storms will move through quickly and skies will clear. we'll talk about that coming up in our main weather segment. temperatures tonight will stay we mild between now and 7:00 and we'll be warm again tomorrow. big changes later in the week. it's interesting. the timing is friday for the coolest day of the week and best chance of rain from storms. so good news/bad news scenario

people fired up. >> we are being threatened here in colorado by other turkish citizens or others. we have been threatened through social media. we received death threats. >> reporter: the turkish council told 9news today those behind the queue had direct links to the goulan movement saying if that's not terrorism, they don't know what to call it. that's a concern for those who believe this is nothing more than an president to divide up the people and gain more power. the bottom line is that letter was sent to turkish representatives saying the movement are terrorists. john kerry said the u.s. would consider extradition of goulan if and when they see actual proof of his involvement. so far there's been no such proof to the u.s. government. >> it is a complicated one.

and at the airport right now winds are north at 10. they'll shift out of the southwest tonight. we're holding about 90 even with this extensive cloud cover which i have above my head here in the backyard. 92 in the city. thankfully the storms we're tracking are fast movers, not holding together terribly well. you may notice smoke and haze in the area. my eyes were itching today. if you were up early and saw the sunrise, not a lot of smoke moving into colorado due winds across colorado to the north of us, but some of us are seeing it in the atmosphere and in our eyes. the air quality is not terrific. it's just tinder dry, humidity value around 13%. storms that develop are having a hard time holding together coming off the foothills. the bases of these clouds are so far from the ground we're calling them high-based. we're seeing a lot of wind and lightning as these storms fall
