best chance for rain today will be along the wyoming and nebraska borders especially again this evening. we had some relative thunderstorms last night. that's the best opportunity for thunderstorms today with the small chance for severe weather the farthest you go especially into nebraska. temperatures in the upper 70s and if you get be very few in number. good morning. we're starting to see more and e people on i-25 but traffic is still getting through with no problems. still going at the posted speeds. no major delays right now. let's check in with i-25, 6 miles an hour. taking you about 15 minutes. i-70 between i-25 and 6th avenue right around 12 minutes so green lights for you as well.

now, a project called a continuous flow intersection, it means that several lights are set before or at the intersection but there's no need for a left turn signal. pretty complicated. so we found a youtube video that helps explain it. so drivers going straight through the regular light at the main intersection drivers turning left would have signals before the intersection to stop then cross over and turn. drivers turning right, well, they don't have to stop at all. an eventually widen both the streets to help alleviate some of the problems. it's going to take time for people to get used to it. they say there should be a continuous flow once they get used to it. an update to a story that had a lot of you talking with us on wednesday morning. the colorado board of education made a decision on whether diet sodas are allowed in schools.

responders and basically what this means is that the police departments are partnering with mental health agencies. here in littleton the police department is departmenting with all health network. that agency basically provides counselors who can come out with police officers to respond to mental health situations and determine what's the best course of action. we spoke with the littleton police department and with all health networks to try to see how this would all work >> whenever there's an emergency or crisis or an officer gets a call and feels like it's mental health related or substance abuse related then he's going to pick up the phone and call one of or co-responders and they're going to meet him there. >> reporter: and it doesn't end there. the commander with the littleton police department says that about 90% or more of their officers have been trained in crisis intervention, and that basically teaches an officer to assess the situation and determine the best course of action based on whether or not

crisis or a mental health episode. so there is something that the littleton police department hopes to continue and grow, and we've definitely seen this program grow across the country. >> there is such an intersection of mental health along with medical needs and what law enforcement faces. so thank you. appreciate the information. the families of 2 colorado men who sacrificed their lives for a cause will finally get to start planning a proper burial. the bodies tomorrow. levi shirley and taggert both side in syria. they died about a month apart. they were not members of the u.s. military. their bodies were flown to chicago yesterday. a ceremony will be held in denver tomorrow. today vice president joe biden will be in colorado not to shake hands and kiss babies, no,
