well that looks not like a typical colorado picture. it looks like there's some heavy air out there. but last night, whoo. that was a rocking and popping. >> quite the show, especially downtown. that's all we could see. danielle, all we could see was lightning every two seconds, maybe even more than that. >> and every direction. >> i know, it was a wild night. i was in cherry creek. of course, searching for my umbrella in my car. >> and saying, it was not in my

>> that's not good, when the meteorologist doesn't have an umbrella. just saying. >> that storm was certainly a talker. this afternoon, we have a chance of seeing one or two move through the region. it is so muggy out there, and we've been watching the showers along the eastern plains. probably just want to find the umbrella first, and then keep it around. the end of august is upon us. how in the world is the summer season coming to an end? it certainly went by our temperatures just a hair below average from where we should be. low 70s as far as temps are concerned. rainfall, we really didn't see all that much, only .22. so of course, downtown a completely different story. we keep score out at dia, so these numbers are a little deceiving. usually, we should have well over an inch and a half over the airport. with those numbers at the airport, we now are sitting at the 8th dryest august on record.

as we say hello to september, and hello to fall, we're looking at slightly cooler temperatures. usually, the average for the month in the low 60s. rainfall, less than an inch, and snowfall, yep, we're talking about the s word, 1.3 inches. out there at boulder, you can see how thick. how muggy the air is. we've been trying to get rid of this, get some of that sunshine in, and it's allowed our temperatures to warm, but not quite as warm as where they sh b year. 81 at the airport. upper 60s in leadville. the heat, it is on, the just across the mountains, and out across the western slope. winds at 3 miles per hour. here in the 9 backyard, our temperatures feeling pretty good too. around 82. a look at hd doppler 9, where the storm system is finally now

rotating with that counterclockwise flow. we could have maybe one or two of those storms reaching the denver metro area later on tonight. again, a couple of isolated showers up in the high country right now. down toward pagoda vinings right now. the biggest story is along i- 70. these guys, they're heavy rainers. you could have a heavy amount of rain in a short amount of time. plenty of lightning out too. these storms are knocking on our backdoor, as they rotate from the northeast into the southwest. tomorrow, we could have one or two isolated storms. if you're headed to the rockies game. bring the gear, just in case. the poncho, if you have it. 56degrees with partly cloudy skies after midnight. 68 in lamar. pueblo, 40s. the rest of this evening, the storms should be winding down,

overall. the moisture is pretty much out of here. tomorrow morning, we will wake up to fog as well's those low clouds. eastern colorado, a completely different set up, out to the west, waking up with sunshine. here in denver, we're right in the middle. everything does a switch, a flap flop. you folks will get a good chance at having decent downpours. for us, here in denver, i think most of the action is actually going to stay in the mountains and in a good half of the state should stay moderately dry throughout the afternoon and evening. traveling across the east coast, watch out. we have hurricane gaston starting to push out toward the east. hurricane hermine. rainfall amounts look very impressive, especially a storm surge across the gulf too.

of hawaii, we have madeline, as well as lester we're keeping an eye on. i think madelinelike taking a little turn across the big island. we'll be watching this one. tomorrow, we're back to the mid- 80s. partly cloudy skies. with the storms firing up in mo a little more heat in sterling, lamar, returning to the mid- 80s. low 80s in parker, with the 60s and 70s up in the foothills. i think we start one of with a few clouds by the afternoon. you will look to the west, and it will seem a bit darker out there. storms possible once again in the metro area on friday. you can see the temperatures definitely warming up as we

weekend. sunday, and into monday, spectacular. and most of next week actually looks pretty good too. whether you're head out to the taste of colorado, or just staying home, i think a good chunk of labor day weekend is looking nice. >> health and wellness expo. >> good. >> maybe we're going to get out the slip and slide one time. >> the unofficial end to summer, i hate to say it. neighborhoods all over seattle are trying out something new to build community. it's called play street, and it allows neighborhoods to turn away cars in favor of play time. this is brilliant. this block does it on monday evenings. neighbors set up signs on both ends, with permits from the city. and the kids just take to the street. neighbors say the street is so

for the kids to play out there. now, even when the signs aren't up, they've noticed a slow down in drivers. >> just great to be able to block this off, and have space to teach how to ride a bike. >> it's actually cut down traffic. cut through to our area quite a bit. even when we don't close down the streets. >> i appreciate this, because i didn't have a backyard growing up. so the kids have used the time to do movie, to playing with squirt guns. awesome idea. you know what? so many new neighborhoods don't really have a yard. >> or little teeny ones. >> you can cut the grass with a weed wacker. a varsity football team in northern michigan just had to

injured to play. instead of being down and out about it, and having a terrible attitude, other players are doing something pretty great. >> when the season started, the coaches thought it would have 8 seniors and 5 players on varsity. >> the decision was made to cancel the season, rather than field a team of freshman and sophomores. since then, the upper cl serve as mentors for them next year. >> i always think stuff happens for a reason. it's a good life lesson. we exhausted so many ideas from trying out football camps to meet the program events to obviously a lot of one-on-one discussions with junior to be

playerses can play as much as they want, just on the jv team. good for them, they're stepping up. here is an ounce of hope for your faith in humanity. the fact that he often eats alone. yesterday, florida state university of course player, travis udoc visited bo's facebook. saying quote, this was up with day i didn't have to worry ifmy son ate, because he sat across from a hero. >> so many people say they need to spread that. bo's mom, says the goal thing moved her to tears and made her so happy. police in texas are trying to track down two burglary suspects. >> they don't have a lot to go

>> gold is good too, but if you're going to heat it, do it in a pan i guess. >> spaghetti is could much better cold, because the flavors congeal. >> i can't say i ever have. >> chinese food is definitely better leftover. and i like lasagna better leftover. >> i'm with pita, we put it in the toaster oven, but we will

there's that little chill in the air, and you're thinking chili and pizza, and all the things in our weather. >> our science guy steve spangler is here with a substance, 300 degrees below

i'm so nervous that steve spangler actually tweeted out, telling our viewers to reassure me what's about to happen. >> it's fine. most of the air that we breathe, if you ask most people, they'll go, we breathe oxygen, right? and we breathe out carbon dioxide. not true. only about 20% of the air we breathe is oxygen. the rest is nitrogen. if you chill it down and get it

liquid nitrogen. isn't that fun. throw on this glove, right over here. good. look at this. i'm going to throw on this up with as well. it's boiling right now. it's not happy. it's okay. it's trying to turn from a liquid into so you can kind of see that boiling that's happening there. it doesn't have a smell. it's super, super cold. 320degrees below zero. doctors use it to freeze we'll use it to teach kids about the properties and states of matter. here's what's going to happen. this goes in here. now you can take your glove off. you're not going to need it anymore. i'll need your bare hand in a second. you've got insurance, right? >> i hope so. >> you do. don't worry, you're good. look at this, here is our liquid nitrogen. so now, watch what happens. if i take a rubber band, for example, and i stretch the rubber band out like this, so now we're taking this energy that's here with the rubber

now watch, when we put it down inside. watch what happens. instant freeze. hold out your bare hand. don't move your bare hand. look at that. there it is. the heat of your hand starts to heat up the rubber band, and watch what happens, it comes back. >> it comes to back almost. >> isn't that amazing? you can go through that property, where it's a solid, and then it's back to its flexible state. pretty cool. look at this. >> oh, this >> this is a regular balloon. clear, so watch what happens when we take my breath and submerge it in the liquid nitrogen. sometimes you get kids that think it's about to pop, but it's just the opposite. watch what happens. my breath now goes from a gas into a liquid. so believe it or not, when we hold it up here, you're going to be able to see that come down. so now when i hold it out like this, look at this.

you see it in there? it's totally cool, isn't it. right? so now watch. >> no way. >> it comes back to its original state. that is crazy. so, watch what happens here, if i take the glove, you can kind of see what happens here. i took all of these balloons ahead of time, and i put it these are in liquid nitrogen. watch what happens when they start to come back to life. isn't that crazy? all a clown has to do is blow them up a little bit early, and they're set. the tricks, is that sometimes you can now do this with some food. so now if we freeze something like this, so here is our, here are our tricks. look at this, hold out your hands, so you're going to pop
