hail 1 inch in diameter. they're expecting quarter size hail or bigger, possibly up to ping pong ball size and at times this cell has also shown signs that it might be rotating. now there is no tornado warning with this. this is just a severe thunderstorm warning, but if this storm is in your vicinity, make sure you're staying well away from windows. i would get closer to the center part of your home and just keep your eyes open for this to be we'll track it throughout the hour and then into this evening as well. our eastern plains is really the place where we're expecting a chance for severe weather today. it's marginal. the biggest threats are for large hail and damaging wind. here in denver, fort collins and greeley a light shower is possible but only a couple places may see some of that rain. 72 now, 74 at dia, greeley at 78, so a little bit warmer, 72 for fort collins and we've got lower, middle and upper60s

foothills. for the next several hours we'll see temperatures falling, 72 by 5:00, 70 at 6:00, 60s through 7:00 and 8:00 tonight. overnight tonight looks clear, slightly better chance for some showers and thunderstorms will pop up tomorrow. i mentioned tomorrow a little bit cooler, but this weekend, oh, jonathan and kim, it looks fantastic! we're going to see lots of sunshine and temperatures creeping back up to the 80s, so i bet we'll smell a few barbecues going on. >> oh, yeah. this is a weekend just to hold onto >> going to remember this one for a while. thank you. vice president joe biden is on his way to denver. he's set to speak at the annual kordell dinner at the university of dinner around 7:00. he spoke in the aspens idea festival last july focusing on his cancer moon shot project. the party is at the hamilton gym from 5 to 8 p.m. we are expecting traffic

because of the increased security. plan ahead if you're going to be in the area. an unattended bag at dia this morning was not a threat. the dropoff location on level 6 west was closed while it was investigated, though. in turn that led to big backups. police cleared the bag and the area around 10:00 this morning. nothing suspicious was found. 12 emergency agencies in and around the western slope have filed complaints with state regulators over 911 the complaints were filed against several providers including centurylink. they list at least eight days over a three week period where at least one communication center experienced an outage and they say the notification centers weren't notified quick enough about the outage. the agency wants providers to develop a plan to communicate to them during these outages. hillary clinton is back on the campaign trail today. the polls are not in her favor. new voter surveys show donald

polls. clinton's illness and her not disclosing it could be a factor, but republicans are praising trump, less bombast, fewer tweets, more focus on voters' issues. >> his message is clearer. people understand on a given day what he's trying to talk to them about. >> reporter: and clinton understands the race is close. i'm steve handelsman, nbc news, washington. >> donald trump has a camp springs later this weekend. the man accused of setting fire to a florida mosque says he's embarrassed. 32-year-old joseph schreiber confessed to a judge today. the mosque was once attended by the gunman who killed 49 people at an orlando nightclub this summer. detectives say schreiber admitted to setting the fire and said he had no intention of hurting anyone. the judge referred to seven pages of prior criminal history and called him a flight risk. >> there really is no condition of release that can reasonably

regulations a single epipen in ontario costs about 88 american dollars. it's less than $190 for a two pack and in canada epipens can be bought over the counter, no prescription needed. >> an american citizen does require that medication, we can offer that to them at the same cost we would offer any ontario resident. we expect people to come and i think once word catches on that they can get it cheaper here, they problem will, but, you that people just don't know that they have the ability to try other places. >> american doctors say they absolutely understand why families are making the trim, just like the u.s., canada -- trip. just like the u.s., canada gets their epipens from mylan, but doctors and patients know it's the exact same product. park managers at mesa verde are moving ahead in the process to decide whether to increase

public comment. the proposal would increase fees from 8 to $10 per person during the summer season may to october. an annual pass would go up from 30 to $40. the park superintend. hopes to use of the extra money -- superintendent hopes to use the extra money to offset maintenance costs. there's a meeting to discuss public proposal and feedback. by a viewer. it looks like the fall colors are arriving a little early this year. 9news mountain newsroom reporter matt renoux took one for the team this afternoon reporting on leaves, yeah, tough gig. >> reporter: you bet, kim. it is a rough day to be sure at the office today. you know, last year our assistant news director, tim ryan, talked about taking his family on a leaf road trip on colorado and they wedge over

day. -- went over five mountain passes in one day. we did do three mountain passes on a drive i like to call the leaf loop and it is absolutely amazing. we started out this morning in georgetown and you can take that easy drive over genella pass where the leaves are just starting and drop over to highway 285 and pop right up on kenosha pass, a lot of places ll looking awesome. from there head into the small town of cuomo. the houses are as colorful as the landscape. head up from there over borreus pass. this is the dirt part of the road and bumpy at times but worth it. we caught some pictures just as the photographers say the leaves are peaking. >> i think it's a little early

ahead, maybe five. we're coming over to cuomo right now to experience all the beauty of cuomo, the unique, the individualal it i. that's what i really -- individuality. that's what i really enjoy about cuomo. >> reporter: from there you head into breckenridge and from breckenridge you head over toyota 70 back to georgetown and the pass completing the loop. it's about 140 miles altogether, but it will take the better part of the day, several hours, beautiful scenery along the way, just incredible land escape. right here we're just outside breckenridge where you start to make your way back into the city after coming down off the mountain, just a spectacular day out here, condemn and jonathan, the leaves starts -- kim and jonathan, the leaves starting to peak for sure. around glenmont springs the folks are telling us about a week or two you can expect the

y23eoy yvpy there is now a federal recall of samsung galaxy note 7 phone because it can catch fire or explode. earlier this week samsung issued a voluntary recall of the devices. today the u.s. consumer product safety commission issued a formal recall. samsung has confirmed a few dozen instances of the problem sole. samsung has promised replacement -- sold. samsung has promised replacement devices, but that was put on hold while regulators review the situation. here's some video of what our priorities look like, folks waiting in line for the new iphone 7 that doesn't go on sale until tomorrow. this is video from australia and japan, people in line saying it's as much about the experience as actually getting the phone itself. uh-huh. the new model has a lot of new features, some more practical than others. we wanted to know if the

the hype. 9news reporter nick mcgill dives in. >> reporter: for consumers like brett odell it's all apple all the time. >> apple is out, man, yeah. latest and greatest everything. got to have everything match and sync, got to have the latest and greatest for sure. >> reporter: which is why it's no surprise when it comes to the release of the iphone 7 brett is counting down the minutes. >> we preordered ours. we got up at like 12:00 at midnight, made sure to order it for mine and my wife's. >> reporter: brett's for apple's greatest and latest, but when it comes to performance, is it worth the hype? >> iphone 7 is the best iphone apple has ever built. is it revolutionary? absolutely not. >> reporter: the new iphone has a new camera, better displays and waterproofing, but those same features can be found in other phones. apple's big secret, marketing. >> they spend all year fixating on how they're going to release

two, three years ago, but they set it up so they convince you now is the time. now you need to upgrade. >> reporter: in fact, apple has been so good at marketing this product some versions of the iphone 7 have already sold out. so the answer to the question of is it worth it may change depending on who you ask. in denver nick mcgill. >> they can change one thing and i would still be online preordering it, yeah, for sure. >> reporter: 9news. >> it's all mind games. some people just don't care. >> jonathan. >> another reason he says for apple's success, customer satisfaction. the company far outperforms all the competition. if you listen to music, chances are you're duesing spotify. it now has 40 million maybed subscribers. it added 10 -- paid subscribers. it added 10 million paid subscribers last year. spotify hasn't confirmed how

but back in june it said it had 100 million total subscribers paid and unpaid. there is a new way to watch thursday night football. twitter is going to start streaming live games. the site has been struggling recently. twitter users can watch using the twitter app on apple tv, amazon fire tv and microsoft's x-box one. the company says it wants to give cord cutters another sports watching option. the game is on buff bills. >> another excuse for -- buffalo bills. >> northerly excuse for me to sit there and -- another excuse for me to sit there and say no, honey, i'm not watching football. let's watch dancing with the stars. a new home for pieces of american history is about to open in washington d.c. >> next some of what you'll find inside the national museum

today the law was talked about causing the country to continue to talk about north carolina. all the championships are being moved out of north carolina this academic school year because of h.b.2. the law requires transgenders to use bathrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding with the sex on their birth certificates. ncaa is reef locating seven championships because of that -- relocating seven law. governor mccrory is saying they are seeing a state that doesn't exist. >> no one worried about this. it was only until your mayor and city council created a solution to a problem that didn't exist. >> mccrory is down in the polls about six points depending on the survey you look at. some say he framed the debate over north carolina's law as one of common sense, safety and privacy. in washington d.c. the

open. the 400,000 square foot building has been in the works for 13 years. it sits on 5 acres adjacent to the washington monument. many of the nearly 4,000 artifacts in the museum came from families across the country. the museum is centered around the african american experience in the united states, but the director says it is really for everyone. >> so we say this is a story for us all. this is a story that helps all of us, white, whether our families have been here 200 years or got here 20 minutes ago. this is a story that helps us better understand who we are as americans. >> there is a vintage open cockpit plane on display that was once used by the tuskegee airmen and visitors to the slavery and freedom exhibit hall will also see a one story cabin once home to slaves on a

the point of pines plantation on pedestal island in south carolina. three years ago crews dismantled it piece by piece to transfer it to the smithsonian collection. it's believed to have been built in 1853 inhabited up to 1980 because the home was also in use after slavery ended. a door on the backside helps illustrate the transition from slavery to freedom. >> too often when people study slavery, they study slavery either just as a brutal institution we really want to focus on is the human experience. and when you think about yourself as a human being, you aren't just a person who works. you're also a person who loves. you're a person who takes care of their family and you're a person who takes pride in the work that they do and so we really try to focus on these three beats of the human experience so that people can understand really the enormous strengths and vitality of those who endured slavery.

exhibition hall focuses on the role slavery played in america's history and its impact on those who were enslaved. >> to see something like that changes your whole perception and understanding. that's great. we could see a little bit of rain tonight, but it's moving out in time for that weekend. >> yes. becky is back next with the

taking a cloudy look over the flatirons in boulder, one of the best cameras we have, such a gorgeous shot. >> they're full of bests in boulder. >> yeah. tell us about one you just learned. >> ncaa ranked the best mascot entrances in college football. >> you don't say? >> and we came in no. 1, no.

>> they do some great entrances. they're showing great college football entrances, you know, and oregon has a good one. but they don't have a buffalo. they don't have ralphie that tears on down there with the wranglers. >> becky, please say we have a lot of buffs talking on the show today. talk about weather. >> really? i didn't notice. >> it's just kind of cool to see that. >> congratulations. that's awesome. >> i'm telling you, it's the handlers and ralphie just fires up >> fun time. >> this is good weather if you're a buffalo out there roaming on the range. it is. it's good weather for everybody. >> it's also a great transition. hey, becky. >> tell you what. everybody should be out and enjoying what we've got going on today. we have a little bit more sunshine than we have now, a few more cloud starting to roll in. i would -- clouds starting to roll in. i would not be surprised to see a shower or two before the evening is up. take a live look outside.

to the west over the foothills, but sunny skies over the csu campus now. we managed to get up to 76 degrees today officially at dia just under our average high of 79, nowhere close to record setting. that record high still holds at 92 degrees set back in 2000. we're at 74 now out at dia, 73 at greeley, fort collins. the hotspot is lamar, 91. 80 currently for burlington, 50s ans mountains. here outside the 9news backyard a few more clouds, no rain and a little breezy. we're in a very mild 76 degrees, gorgeous, gorgeous day out here today. now across the state as we take a look, we have one, a very new severe thunderstorm watch that has been issued for the far eastern plains. this comes after a couple of severe thunderstorms have popped up out there. we're going to start you off with the storm that's just northwest of burlington pushing

warning in effect for kit carson county until 4:45 p.m. we've had hail reported up to an inch in diameter from this ping pong ball size hail possible as this storm really holds together, moves into some very unstable air on our far eastern plains. as we get into tonight, these storms will continue to push east and will eventually move out of the state but not before we see even more hail up around places like akron and then east towardma this storm is for washington county. that's a severe thunderstorm warning in effect until 5:15 p.m., again large hail and damaging wind the main threat with these cells as they push east, northeast throughout the remainder of the evening. there you can see that storm track as they push east, building starting at just about limon and up building as they push into the plains. we do have a marginal risk for severe weather on our eastern plains through the evening.

general thunderstorms. i think all we'll manage to see is a light shower or two. the storms that we saw from yesterday pushing now out over the midwest and check this out. see that just off the coast? that, by the way, now is tropical storm julia, yes, gained some strength over the last 24 hours. we've got 40 mile-per-hour winds and it looks like julia is just going to kind of spin out there right over the atlantic. what does that mean for our friends out on the we certainly could see some problems with the rip tide. we also could see problems with storm surge. rain will amount all the way through saturday night up to about an inch for the charleston area. it's far enough offshore they won't see a lot of rain from it. meanwhile back here our weather pattern is going to change a bit. we've got this trough that's sitting right over colorado helping to bring in of?

today, 70s tomorrow. over the weekend that shifts east. it will take the cool air with it and we'll be warming up. we've got 80-degree weather that is back in the forecast once we get back into sunday. the next 24 hours showers and thunderstorms will be possible again, but that will be coming up tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon mainly after 3:00 or 4:00. these storms will be very isolated. they aren't expected to be severe across the denver metro area. we are going to be a little cooler before comes. overnight lows tonight to the middle 40s through fort collins, greeley and denver, eastern 40s and 50s, lows dipping into the 20s and 30s in the mountains. i think a few of those places up there like to see the dip in temperatures closer to ski season, upper 40s the lows along grand junction and the western slope. look for mostly clear skies in denver, winds southwest at 5 to 15 miles per hour, so a cool evening. tomorrow 72, sunny start and an isolated thunderstorm or two

again they aren't expected to be severe. then all this cool air starts to shift east and we warm up, 77 degrees our high saturday, mostly sunny, sunday 83. i'm going to call that a perfect weekend to do some grilling outside. then monday, tuesday, even warmer with highs in the middle to upper 80s. so the warm-up continues for the start of the workweek. hopefully everybody gets to spend some time indoors especially if you're getting too hot, weekend is going to be perfect. i can't wait to see all the pictures on social media and what people do with it. >> i'll be posting. it will be nice out. >> jonathan is heading up to the mountains to look at a little gold. it is part of our nation's capital here in colorado, a traveling version of the vietnam memorial wall. it's part of an effort to honor

rodriguez tells us the wall that is here is just as moving for some as the original. >> this wall is a reminder that freedom is not free. >> reporter: reaching out to touch history through the passage of time. >> i've had people say many times that people come to touch the wall and it touches them. >> reporter: a version of the vietnam wall that is slightly smaller than the original in washington d.c. it's about 80% of the size, but with 100% the feelings it evokes. >> i haven't turned around and looked at it yet. it's very emotional. >> to see it here out on the eastern plains of colorado. >> reporter: this is the american veterans traveling tribute version of the vietnam memorial. it travels across the country bringing the wall to those who may not be able to reach the real thing. >> and there are our jets. >> it's a tradition for people

it's pretty incredible. maria didn't know at a certain point literally whether she would be dead or alive and this program came across her table, so to speak, and it said they told her it might be three months before we could potentially get you in and it was shorter than that. she did everything she could to get clean. it was a tough one year for her, but now she's even coming back giving back to that organization. she was actually in the video talking to other women who are going through it now. it's inspiring to see what they're do >> she's been there. she understands. >> yeah. >> there are never enough programs to deal with addiction and things, but you have to realize they're all tied in together and this is very specific, which is wonderful. >> nina said i-25 is a major corridor for sex trafficking going all the way down to the border. it's an issue. it's cool to see that they're doing something about it here. >> could be right around the corner from you.
