in the 80s, 39 estes park. we're finally cooler than the mountains or warmer than the mountains where it's been the reverse all day long. out at dia, 35 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, winds out of the south southeast. at just eight miles per hour, here in the 9 backyard, our temperatures cooling off, sitting at 37 but kind of nice and refreshing after a week of those warm temperatures across town. in our radar and satellite composite, the clouds finally starting to break apart really across eastern colorado, still a few high lev back in the metro area. overall, partly cloudy skies, and i think by morning, some folks might actually wake up to a bit of patchy fog. if anything, it will be out along dia, the winds out of the southwest should be helping us. in the 30s and 40s, eastern colorado, grand junction and the upper 30s toward the san juans. the cooler temperatures, the clouds all courtesy of this cold front.

knocking down our temperatures, bringing some severe weather to parts of chicago, st. louis, and in through oklahoma city. but back behind it, high pressure. you know what that means, some warmer conditions in store for us and drier weather as well. as we go throughout the rest of tonight, what you see is what you get. the clouds lingering, the leftovers tomorrow morning. especially if you live to the west of i-25. you will notice those and then along i-76, 7:30, 8:00, this might slow down, ever so slightly trying or school. by lunch time, decent clearing and sunshine. that should help warm us up quite a bit. by the afternoon, back to the 70s then tomorrow evening, once again, mostly clear skies. keep our eyes off the atlantic where we once again are bracing for yet another hurricane. hurricane nicole, this one a dangerous one. we'll be watching some extreme storm surge, gusty winds out there too. right now it is a cat four

bermuda. folks are starting to prepare for what is to come. the winds kicking up, watching tropical storm force winds for quite some time, anticipating huge waves and we've already seen some areas putting up the storm shutters as they are bracing for this monstrous hurricane that potentially will take aim right on the tiny island out there. you can see this video that's shaking with the wild winds and of course, the waters that are already starting to come up. i'll show you the track, cat morning is when it potentially will make landfall. down grades to a cat three and then once again takes that turn to the north and to the east. and it's out of here by the weekend. definitely something we'll keep a close eye on overnight and tomorrow too. tomorrow in our backyard, much quieter around here. we'll go with partly sunny skies, glass half full at 74 degrees, we stay in the 70s for most of eastern colorado chl the 50s and 60s around the foothills, a little early morning cloud cover out there,

be out there in shorts and t-shirts, going to feel nice. 78 degrees in longmont. we stay in the mid 70s in wellington, and grel -- greeley. above average for the weekend in to next week. all right. low 60s well, slowly starting to feel like fall but still plenty of sunshine on that 9 news forecast for you guys. >> we're looking that. thank you. when pck the aves and colorado, he just left, didn't pack the house. so what to do if you're the realtor selling patrick wah's -- roy's house? get the bag pipes. just like any other open house you've been to. the home in englewood is on the market if you've got $1 million plus to spend and you're in to

from colorado's sports leader, here's destroy soicher.

colorful, the crayola-bowl. the dress code requires color rush uniforms and the broncos are wearing orange jerseys, orange pants orange shoes against the san diego chargers clothed in all blue. bronks already think the new uniform has passed a test with flying colors. >> have you seen the color rush jerseys? what do you think of them? >> i like them, i wish we could keep them the whole season. they're nice. it's good to do something different. >> i do like was, i like it. i'm sure everybody else does too. i wish we had a white helmet. >> the more orange the better. i don't know about san diego's, but, you know, ours are pretty cool. i'm looking forward to the blue and the orange and you know, primetime. you know, every color rush game this whole, you know, season, has been great. i've been looking forward to this whole color rush game sense last year.

reporter rod and and klis are wearing armani. >> yeah, making the debut. >> that was a surprise, everybody thought wade philips would be the no brainer choice becae he's done it so many times before, maybe that's why he wasn't the choice. decamillis makes sense. he's a game manager, also in between the offensive play callers and the defensive play callers. free officials. >> what is interesting is there's so much talk about the head coach, but what probably matters most is the fact, who's going to be the quarterback. and you're tell me we're going back to the future, so to speak. >> simmeon and they set this up when he was going to play against atlanta. they didn't get the quarter zone shot to get him ready that he would be able to play two games, come back on a short rest. so given the druthers, they had

they picked the first afc game against the san diego charnlers. get lynch the full week -- chargers, give paxton the full week, the whole idea is that they win two. right now 0-1 in their quest. see what they do tomorrow. >> trevor gets help with green and stevenson coming back. mike is going to take a dip, i'm laughing and send it back to you. >> hard to listen to a word they said with that image. only thing more surprising than decamillis coaching the broncos that's because he was seriously injured seven years ago while working for the dallas cowboys when the team's practice facility collapsed during a wind storm. remember that? decamillis suffered a broken cervical vertebra, underwent neck surgery and returned to practice two weeks later. sharing the story with joe saccamano. >> where the fractures were actually not fractures, they call it dislocation.

most of the time, people are quadriplegics, not paralyzed but quadriplegics. i was fortunate that the guy that was at parkland hospital in dallas had done a couple surgeries that were similar. his comment to my wife is are you a praying woman? and told her to pray and after the surgery was over, he said that's the first one that's worked over three. >> that's a tough call. >> pretty lucky. >> that's a tough call to make to dana. your husband's day of practice. >> well, i made the call, actually. somehow i got out. i still don't, i mean, it's all kind of a blur. but somehow i got back to my office and i called her and my first words to her were hey, the bubble fell on me, but i'm okay. and she, she didn't know what i was saying. i wasz kind of out -- was kind of out of it. the second call i got was from my daughter kaitlyn, a critical care nurse.

down -- daddy, lay down on the ground, don't move anymore. they said if i kept moving, there was a chance i wouldn't have had a good conclusion. very fortunate. >> wow. still of the night comes from the university neighborhood where du unveiled its beautiful new basketball court complete with mountains and the city skyline in the still of the night! it should be an image of mustard's last stand, the finest hot dog joint, next to the school. i spent a lot of my time and

all right. cool out there but the big warm up on its way. tomorrow looks fantastic, mid 70s, the sunshine should be out in the afternoon.

of a cool off next week. we'll see if we can get any rain any time soon. >> we need some! >> i packed away all the shorts,
