rain gear to wait it out. after nearly three hours the game was called. there will be a split doubleheader tomorrow against the dodgers. kathy joins us now for a look at what's ahead the rest of the night. >> it looks a whole lot better than that. poorly organized storm systems got organized in a hurry around dinner time tonight and just decided to stick around and dump 1 to 3 inches of rain when the rockies are trying to take the field and then there was this. the lightning was tonight. the wind was ferocious, but the rain is the big story, flash flood warning continues until 11:15 for a portion of northeastern denver, rain reports upwards of 2 to 3 inches. this polygon is where we expect the street flooding to continue in the next hour or so. travel is best avoided if you can in that area. in boulder and golden lesser amounts of rain, thankfully the storms finally on the move.

to begin tomorrow. >> we'll have storm surge. we'll have inland flooding. we'll have coastal flooding. we'll have as much as 15 inches of rain. >> there is more rain than wind. at least at this point with the storm. if it does pick up strength, it will be named as a tropical storm. watches are already in effect. new overtime rules mean more pay for thousands of workers and potentially trouble for some businesses. here's 9news reporter vicente arenas. >> we like to have n down brewery and kitchen pizza has become a real art. >> it's got braised pork on it. >> reporter: now the owner has to figure out how to pay for huge increases in overtime. >> i have to do some shifting. i've got to get either -- got to get creative. >> reporter: starting december 1st supervisors who oversee at least two workers must earn at

paid overtime. the current threshold is half that. >> almost certainly it's going to mean that the cost of doing business is going to go up no matter how you dice it. more dollars shelled out. >> i was excited. >> reporter: alexis vaughn supervises 15 employees at a denver area restaurant and works more than 50 hours a week with no overtime. extra pay she says would change her world. >> i can go buy an extra toy that and it kind of gives you a sense of i'm doing this for a reason. >> reporter: back at lowdown phillip five fiver if is -- pfeiffer is already crunching some numbers. >> once we get it all figured out it will be fine. >> reporter: just as fine as his pizza that keeps people coming back for more.

old. lafayette police are asking for tips. crime of opportunity is a phrase often used by police how anyone can become the victim of a thief. a veteran living in denver told his story to 9news reporter dan grossman. >> reporter: an item of sentimentality is beholden to those who behold its memories. >> that's my friend dan. >> reporter: that's why scott jones -- >> this is the scene crime, yeah. >> reporter: -- still can't understand the motive behind what happened to him at his home friday night at the corner of 29th and birch. >> these are documents such as certificates and awards, photos, medals. >> reporter: things that validated eight years of scott's life. >> there's a lot of stuff in there that we could have kind of shared together. >> reporter: that would have validated it for his 2-year-old son years from now.

they don't have the work to have earned a lot of the stuff. that's kind of the thing that i'm the most upset about. >> reporter: scott can acknowledge the mistake of leaving his garage door open. >> it's like of all the things we had in the garage that's the only box that had things we cannot replace. >> reporter: his wife cannot acknowledge it was worthy of this. >> there's a lot of value in that and we value that part of his life. so definitely it would be important family things that we treasure. >> passed up the lawn >> reporter: attempts to dust for prints have brought up nothing for police. >> my anger has driven towards resolve making sure this never happens again. you can't simultaneously steal from a 20-month-old kid and from a person with their memories in a box from a previous life experience. >> police say the lack of

possible suspect is making this very difficult, so they are relying on the public for help. it is a box 2 feet tall by 1 foot wide. they are asking anyone if they see anything, to call them. >> sometimes you hear no questions asked, just return it. >> that's the exact sentiment. he said at this point i just want these things back so i can pass them down. u.s. agriculture department offices in fort collins could remain closed tomorrow. today after employees received serious e-mail threats. threats were sent to employees at usda facilities in connecticut, maryland, north carolina and west virginia. the fbi and several other local federal police are trying to determine their credibility. in colorado more than 1,000 people from several government agencies work at the campus near colorado state university. two dogs attacked their owner killing her will be euthanized. investigators say the two pitbulls attacked 60-year-old

patrick murphy in a balance of power that could tip the senate. hewlett-packard's ceo and former ebay leader meg whitman was in denver today campaigning for hillary clinton. noteworthy because whitman is a republican. she was national finance co- chair for new jersey governor chris christie during his presidential campaign. this stop in denver was her first public event for the campaign. i asked whether her cross-party endorsement of clinton as being better for business actually might pr choice of the big money interests looking to reserve the status quo in washington. >> so i would argue that hillary clinton is not about the status quo at all. she is about reaching those individuals who have been left behind. if nothing else is clear about this election, it is there is a group of people who are not better off than they were eight years ago or 10 years ago or 20 years ago. they've been left behind by globalization, by startups

frankly, by competitive, much more competitive countries around the world. >> before whitman endorsed clinton she sharply criticized trump saying that he exploited anger, division and xenophobia. if dogs could talk, some could certainly tell stories. phil has a good one. the 10-year-old miniature pinscher survived 19 days after wandering away from his home in denver. a man walking his dog in a hole 10 feet wide and 6 feet deep along the fence. he jumped in and rescued phil. >> i answered the call and just said i got to go. >> when she said he had a collar with his name on it and her number, i knew it had to be him. is that phil had to have -- >> phil had to have one of his hind legs amputated. other than that he's acting like his old self.

a line of stopped cars on a new york highway, drivers helped save the life of a young woman. >> a lot of barbecues will get soaked if we have another day like this on labor day. there is hope in kathy sabine's forecast. >> i'll tell you why tim

the age cell phone cameras have brought us scenes that both amaze and terrify. this is from the latter category. a semi crashes into stopped traffic on a highway in new york. the crash happened last week. one of the cars catches fire and people in other vehicles ran to pull the driver out. no one died. the woman in the burning car had cuts and bruises, a couple others with more serious injuries. police say the brakes on the semi failed. 10 cars got tangled up in the

it could feel its breath. it was a case of distracted sitting. she was in her garage playing a game on her phone. she looked up and there the bear was in her face. the woman says she stayed as still as she could moving just enough to record the video on her phone and text her son to come help her. >> i thought she was messing with me and got a new app or something. >> i felt if i did some kind of knee jerk that that might scare him and i didn't know what his reaction would be. >> her walked up behind her and the 300-pound bear decided to move along. wildlife officers hope to trap the bear and move it out of the neighborhood. your nose knows, dia has a distinctive smell in its concourses. the scent of the airport has threads going nuts on reddit, so we asked about the mysterious bathroom air freshener at the airport and the website who sells it calls it black bam book combination

his grandma called to the first responders emergency line. first the fire sergeant from the lafayette fire department and the fire engine and a hat and jackets and that is how jonah's day was -- jacket and that is how jonah's day was saved. it made me feel happy and special. >> next is our next news feature. on the kyle clark facebook page every weeknight at 6 p.m. weather turned out to be a big story today. i'm meteorologist kathy sabine outside in the 9news backyard. the pictures coming in on facebook and twitter tell the tale of the day. we had poorly organized storm system hovering out there much of the afternoon and then this. those driving in and out of the boulder canyon area tonight need to know there's debris on the roadway up there, highway 119, heavy flooding rain around the area.

the city thankfully. your morning drive, no issues. some patchy fog on the far eastern plains, low cloud cover, a little damp. our high today 82, just about 5 degrees shy of where we should be this time of year. a number i think we'll see again tomorrow. down to 64 degrees at dia, wind south at 3 but calm in the backyard. needed the umbrella at 9:00 but not now, nice and 64 outside the studios. storms we are tracking continue to bu finally starting to weaken. we had a convergence slide develop at the corridor and a line was set up when the storms formed. they produced 1 to 4 inches of rain and didn't move. a flash flood warning continues for northeast denver till 11:15 tonight and now areas west of boulder, heavy rain subsiding but the damage already done and

of those canyons with mud and debris on the roadways. cluster of thundershowers from i-25, denver metro down to castle rock, colorado springs. elsewhere quiet. the flood threat shifts south and east overnight. the tropical moisture plume stays south of the area, but with this moisture a front coming in from the north. it won't be an entirely calm day tomorrow. the heaviest rain will fall in the blue and purple shaded south of the metro area and east where temperatures will be a lot warmer. low 80s in the city, heat building to the west and hot down south, cool pockets of air starting to invade the northern tier, some signs the weather patterns are changing as we move into early september. low clouds and fog for the eastern plains, showers and storms moving out. enough moisture and heating of the day we'll see some of those wild storms coming up from the south coming back in from the northeast kind of like spokes on a wheel. not the forward progression that you would typically expect

they're heavy rainers. the searing winds aloft are weak. looks like fall in kremmling tonight 39, 54 in denver, warmest out west tomorrow, cool and comfortable along the front range, these numbers below average for this time of year. 65 in neared lan and mid-60s in con -- in nederland and mid-60s in conifer and evergreen. showers and thunderstorms ending, areas of patchy fog, tomorrow 54, sunshine getting us similar to today, slidely drier and less severe but the chance of heavy rain. pack the umbrella especially if you're heading out to the doubleheader at coors field tomorrow. a little warming trend for the weekend of what could be a stormy friday. lots of sunshine as we move through the first full week of september, looks terrific. speaking of terrific, not the weeds if you're sneezing, the weeds are the reason. i'll just leave you with this, a little bit of serenity now.

you don't want to miss that.

from colorado's sports leader here's drew soicher. >> hi, everybody. turns out the broncos quarterback won't be the only inexperienced player under pressure when the regular season kicks off in nine days. their punter will be, also. the broncos booted quinton colquitt today, released as the team trimmed its roster down to 75 men.

colquitt was the longest tenured player on the broncos. now that title belongs to wide receiver demaryius thomas. quarterback mark sanchez has got to be the greatest teammate of all time as rumors swirl about possible trades to the dallas cowboys and minnesota vikings. sanchez who has fallen from first to third string is supporting trevor siemian who beat him out for the job. >> as a competitor you're disappointed that things went the way this they did, but you also understand did, but you also understand there's an emotional side and a competitor side and a teammate side and me enjoying my time here and really respecting this organization and respecting trevor as a friend and player and teammate, the most important thing to do is move forward and help this team. if things don't work out the way you wouldn't, you can't just act like a cry baby and cause a problem. it's not right. i just don't think that's the professional way to do it. nuggets made a trade today dealing for joffrey lavern to

exchange for a pair of second round draft picks. lavern once made the worse pass in basketball history off an opponent's face, but that's probably not why he was traded. still of the night comes from lower downtown where the rockies game with the dodgers got canceled after a rain delay of more than three hours. doubleheader tomorrow in the still of the night. tim tebow got mixed reviews at his baseball workout today. great power, above average speed, poor outfield play. you must admit it's pretty impressive unless you're one of those fools who was so outraged that timmy would dare to reinvent himself. oh, calm down. tim tebow wants to play professional baseball.

huh? timmy invited a bunch of scouts to watch him take a few swings and decide for themselves. now if a team thinks he's terrible but signs him anyway just to sell tickets, please colorado rockies, please colorado rockies, please, please, please, well, then that's a publicity stunt, but not his fault. this isn't dennis rodman marrying himself or balloon boy flying across the colorado sky. tim is a former all state baseball player who wants to try tebow's disrespecting the game. really? in order to succeed at baseball you need to be committed and focused and diligent, the same words commonly used to describe tim tebow. he isn't built like a baseball player. 6' 3, 255 pounds, former rockies slugger jason giambi was the exact same height and weight. he needs to stick to football and change positions. doesn't want to.

doesn't want to. you see, tim tebow chases his dreams, not ours, believes in himself, likes a good challenge, maybe we ought to stop criticizing everything he does and embrace the fact tebow continues to live his life his way and if that's a publicity stunt, then timmy deserves the pub. too bad he let himself go. otherwise tebow might have a real shot at this. >> you think? >> how bad do you want that? >> 28 of the 30 major league teams showed up at this tryout in los angeles. only the a's and cubs didn't

twitter is blowing up about your tebow story tonight. >> not bad blowing up, good blowing up. >> no.
