after 20 news at 9news, our good friend kyle dyer will air her last newscast this week. we sat down to talk about her best and worst moments. we talked about the early morning hours after the aurora theater shooting, when kyle anchored our coverage, for hours. it's up on our facebook page. the count down for it begins tomorrow morning for a spacecraft built in colorado. it's the first with a mission to go to an asteroid and bring back a sample. it's scheduled to return in 2023. tomorrow morning, the rocket moves to the launch pad. it is set to get underway just before everyone in town gets ready for the broncos game.

another spacecraft that landed on a comment has been solved. it bounced on landing, and while it's general area was known, it's precise location was just revealed by its mothership on a recent fly by. it ended up in a crack. the mother craft's mission ends in a few weeks. quite unceremoniously, as it will be intentionally crashed into the comet. a withstood the elements was destroyed by vandals in a few seconds. for years, people have been told stay away from the 7-foot tall formation known as the duck bill. now the video has been shared so someone can identify these fools. a stunning photograph of a couple on their weds day.

against a spectacular sunset. he didn't know who they were, and posted the shot with hopes he could find their names and get the picture to them. he did, although the couple is asking to remain anonymous. it's a bit sad to say goodbye to summer with the water parks and pools closing today. despite the temperatures in the 80s. water world was a ghost town. most pools stay closed until may 2017. it does seem cr were almost 90 in some parts of eastern colorado today. some of our best weather conditions coming up in september and october. just a few days away from the autumnal equinox. tonight, we had just a spectacular sunset. leslie jordan with that beautiful orange shot. a little purple here in the gardener picture. in some areas, it was just

it was a cloudy, cool day with temperatures 15 to 20 degrees cooler for much of the afternoon. when the sun came out, we warmed right up. our height above average. now at the airport, we have wonderful conditions, it's pretty quiet, and other than the cloud cover some of you might see tomorrow morning, a little fog off to the east. winds are west at 9. but calm here in the afternoon. you know what, the storms were ferocious south and st city. look at these coming in from lamar. hail, wind, and rain an issue. a lot of the storms were tracking northeast. we did have hail reports around la junta and lamar. all of this part of a tropical moisture flow coming in from hurricane newton. that system is going to push inland. check this out.

1 hurricane made landfall with 90 mile-per-hour winds, stranding tourists in their hotel. toppling at least a dozen palm trees. conditions in that area not a whole lot better tonight. let's go back to the forecast map, and we'll kind of show you what's happening. all of this tropical moisture coming in. the system moves inland, and some of it will be caught up in the flow and move into colorado. a lot of it will stay to the south. in these areas of orange and purple, up to a foot of rain notice how we're just on the western fringe of that flow, which moves all the way into the midwest. tomorrow highs in it's mid-80s again. we'll get sun out a little earlier. heat's building to the south, cool air north of us, and really, heavier thunderstorms will stay on i-76. fog and low cloud cover builds back in again tomorrow. we get that sun out earlier. nice day. winds out of the southwest,

sunshine. mild temperatures on the plains tonight. temperatures back in the 90s for southeastern colorado again. we're starting a bit of a warming trend. in the foothills tomorrow, 71. blackhawk 70. and grand lake. in denver, calm, quiet, there will be fog later on, and the cloud cover for your morning drive. temperatures start in the mid- 50s, warm to the mid-70s by lunch. i think we're back into the mid- 80s. we get sooner. almost 90 on thursday, and close to 80 when the guys take the field thursday night. cooler weather friday. warmer weather for the weekend, but a taste of fall next week. 60s and rain on tuesday. but not on thursday night. dry. 80degrees when the guys take the field, with a few high clouds and a little winds. let's hope for a winning forecast. how lucky are we to live here? sports is next.

hi everybody, broncos quarterback trevor siemian is probably more nervous than aly raisman's parents during her floor exercise, but he's somehow able to project confidence. siemian has got to be biting his fingernails, cracking his knuckles, twirling his hair and chain smoking. however, trevor has the ability to convince everyone around him he's calm. >> still have a pulse, so, yeah, just got a lot of confidence, in the guys we've got in the huddle, and they've helped me out quite a bit. really fortunate to be able to lean on those guys when i've been out there.

play, so really excited, looking forward to it. >> the only player perhaps with more confidence than siemian is wide receiver demareious thomas. mike cliff explains why on the pages of his notebook. >> reporter: what does it matter, cam newton is all that, and trevor emian isan unknown? siemian still should have a big night thursday against carolina. why? because starting not one, but two rookie cornerbacks. demareious thomas, and emmanuel sanders are going to feast on them. it's only the second time since 1991 an nfl team opened the season with two rookie corners. it's incredible the contrast in cornerback philosophies. the broncos are paying $6 million combined for akeem talib and chris harris.

nothing rather than pay the franchise tag. why the difference? the bronco corners play in your face, man-to-man, track their guy all over the field. carolina's corners sit back in zone. >> but if it's about the jimmy's and the joe's, and not the x's and o's, you have to like the chances of siemian, thomas, and sanders having a big game thursday night. 9news. the rockies lost to the coldest team in the major the rocks were beaten by the slumping san francisco giants. my new favorite player is tapia. the dude is so fast, he scored all the way from second base on an infield single. but the game was tied in the 9th and daniel descalso made a throwing error on buster posey. he ended up scoring the winner run and the broncos lose 3-2.

comes from d.c. where swanson's first home run. he lost his helmet on the base paths in the still of the night. >> if your hair is that spectacular, not that i'm a credible source on the topic. as you're rounding second base, you accidentally smack your helmet off when your arms are

you're halfway through a short week tomorrow. and check out the forecast, yes, there may be a little fog in the morning, but it won't be quite as gloomy as it was today. a little cooler on friday, so it makes it interesting for me with all these numbers up and down. then we get into next week, really interesting. tuesday, very fall like, 60s and that's right. but everybody is expected about the game day forecast. >> that's three for three. both preseason games and now this one. you nailed it. >> well it hasn't happened yet. >> that's true. >> three good forecasts anyway. >> thank you. >> tonight show is next. jimmy's got clint eastwood, sitting next to an empty chair which may or may not contain the president.
