we have had a couple of strong thunderstorms crossing the i-25 corridor in northern colorado where they have put on a spectacular light show. this is the vantage point from fort collins looking off to the east. it was a wild show. lots of cloud to cloud lightning out there. just spectacular. here in denver, we missed out. didn't really see too much rain. nor the thunderstorms and tonight, we are looking at partly cloudy skies sitting over the city skyline. it was a warm one at 84 out at dia. a little cooler across the eastern plain ins the in eagle and low 80s out to the western slope right now out of the airport. 60 degrees. we are hanging onto a few clouds. the winds have quieted down a bit. now calm. here in the 9 backyard, similar setup. our temperatures a little cooler at 5 57 but the showers and the thunderstorms are rocking and rolling at this 10:00 hour. we are watching them move from the southwest to the north and east. speaking of snowfall, it is

counties. a little light snowfall. these are the thunderstorms that created the incredible light show. now in parts of well county an pushing up into the nebraska panhandle too. we will zoom out, go across the eastern seaboard. if have plans to travel to south carolina, georgia, or florida, we are keeping a close eye on tropical storm julia. very interesting setup as this tropical storm isn't going to be going anywhere any time soon. it is just meandering right across the coastline for the next couple of days. producing potentially across south carolina, georgia, and eastern parts of florida picking up easily three to five inches within the next couple of the days. now, tonight here this denver, our storms are starting to fizzle out. especially northern colorado. we will go with partly cloudy skies. a chilly bun. 49, upper 40s , a brisk begining to the thursday morning. mild, in eastern colorado. and frosty up there in the high country with the lows dipping close to the freezing mark. the rest of tonight, we are watching the showers and the

8:00, you will wake up to a bit of fog along i-76, i-80. meanwhile, to the west, fantastic. plenty of sunshine. but, that all changes by the afternoon as the cold front sweeps into the region. this one once again will produce some scattered showers and thunderstorms in the front range, the eastern plains, bring back a chance of a few clouds in the late afternoon. some cooler temperatures. and then it is out of here. these storms are not going to linger quite like this evening's did. you can see the it just sweeps across the state. by tomorrow afternoon, we are left with a cooler day. and a couple of cool days ahead before that warmup this weekend. tomorrow, we are down to about 76. so about 8 degrees cooler than today. partly sunny skies. watching the thunderstorms push in along the front, after about 3:00, 4:00. across the state, still going to be a warmup in southeast colorado. as that front will take its time getting into your backyard. we will go with 50s and low 60s none the mountains and it

the western slope. mid 70s in arvada. brighton, boulder. looks good early in the morning but then the clouds push in, in the early afternoon. a rumble of thunder, lightning, the storms will be scooting off. by friday, we once again will watch for another round pushing in, in the afternoon. by saturday, it looks like a drier air mass pushes into the state. this means the storms stay up in the mountains an the foothills. not too many firing up across the eastern plains. by sunday, the broncos looks fantastic. we return to the 80s with the start of next week. a little dip by the end of next week, but man, is it a beauty. up in the high country, larry pierce capturing this awesome shot of those colors just beginning to pop up out there in steamboat. and of course, the classic maroon bell shot. trevor hughes capturing that one. you can see a little light snowfall out there as well. >> that is gorgeous. >> stack people up five deep to take that picture. that is is a postcard.

preach today. the defense, this kid will be there for 60 minutes throwing it and everywhere he can and make him play. so like we said, just about respect and us getting ready to play. >> expensive day for the defense. 9news broncos insider mike klis picks up the tab on the pages of his notebook. >> reporter: after the broncos blasted cam newton in the helmet four times last week, the nfl blasted back at the broncos today, hitting them er wallet. i thought the nfl got it exactly right. first of all, they didn't find von miller or shaq. their hits to the head were deemed accidental. the biggest fine went to brandon marshall who got docked 24 grand. >> i was expecting stew to get more than me. but, i guess his was more justified. i don't know.

what you mean? that is some people's salaries after taxes man. that's crazy. >> reporter: safety darian stewart was fined a little more than 18,000. marshall and stewart may think the fines are hefty, but the truth is they got the minimum for first time offenders. marshall will pay a steeper penalty because he got launching and illegal use of the helmet. marshall has been giving away money left and right. he lo he got fined, now he set up a charitable fund where he is going to give away $300 for every tackle he makes to social issue groups. some hits to the wallet are less painful than others. mike klis, 9news. >> the rockies and diamondbacks broke a major league record tonight for most combined runs in a season series. it is 259 now. that must mean either lots of

>> tomorrow will be just a bit cooler than today. we will stay in the mid 70s and watching for a couple of afternoon and evening storms out there. friday, similar setup. and then hey, the weekend, it is almost here. sunday looks fantastic in the low 80s . plenty of sunshine. and that's how we kick off next week. any complaints? >> monday, get after me. >> uh-huh. it will be here soon. >> tonight show is next.
