the flash flood watch in place for parts of the gunnison river gauze of an ice jam. we'll talk more about that coming up and the system that through. it's going to continue to push east and, after that system on the far right-hand corner of the scene, after that moves through and brings the east coast snow, the system moving through colorado will push through and it's going to bring the south and east coast more snow and more wind. so, what we're seeing here across colorado today has a big impact across the country. we're going to talk about that in a few minutes, tahronda. >> thank you. >> uh-huh. >>> with 12 days to go until the iowa caucuses, donald trump today. he gets it from sarah palin and front runner. >> i am in it to win it! we're not going to chill. in fact, it's time to drill, baby, drill. are you ready for a commander in chief who will let our lawyers do their job and go kicksis -- . >> for ted cruz, the announcement capped off a bad day. earlier, a campaign trying to dismiss palin's endorsement, insisting joining team trump would hurt her credibility wi

, the gunnison river levels to raise from five time. that watch in place at least through tonight. right now 37 in ft. collins, 41 in broomfield and 43 in denver. outside 9news we've got the sunshine and our current temperature cooler sitting at 36. now, across the state we don't have much going on, at least as far as snow goes but we have a lot that's further out to our west with a lot of rain coming onto the coast and that's our next system that will be approaching colorado tonight. late tonight. i'm talking 11:30, it will start to edge onto the western slope. then move in toward northern, central and southern mountains by early tomorrow morning. we will get an increase of clouds and some more wind around here in denver, but if to hold off on any chance for flurries at best until tomorrow evening. as far as the rest of our forecast goes, this system has a bigger impact with temperature and, like i said, with wind. it actually gets a lot stronger as it moves over colorado, taking some of the cold air down in from the north and then con

we do have an ice jam in place along the gunnison river near este ranch. if that ice jam breaks, we could see the gunnison river levels rise by 5-8 feet and a short period of time. it could cause massive flooding of the gunnison river. that is why it is in place. we will keep you updated on that situation. meanwhile, it has been a nice afternoon with temperatures in denver at 52 right now. dia is 51. fort collins is 34 and greeley is 36. they don't have the same westerly wind in the foothills like we have in the city. right here at 9news, we have partly cloudy skies and the temperature is 47. to bring the point home on how mild it is, me who is cold always is not even wearing a jacket. it is beautiful. in preparation for the next storm system, we have winter weather advisories in effect. it is moving through parts of the utah and wyoming and it will be pushing east. it will bring snow to locations west of the continental divide as well as east of their, including the denver metro area. snow is going to be heavier across the northern and central mountains a

that is still in place until 8:00 tonight for parts of the gunnison river. it is due to an ice jam. the big concern is that if the ice jam breaks and moves those river levels rise by 5-8 feet in a short period of time. so, we are keeping an eye on that one. as for the rest of the system that hit us this morning, that is at over the midwest -- out over the midwest. it is in parts of iowa, illinois, kentucky and tennessee. they have winter weather warnings and winter weather advisories. the storm will get here about five -- 5:00-5:30 tomorrow evening. maybe a flurry or two. most of the snow falls on the northern and central mountains. we will talk more about that. also the wind that is headed our way and what it means for temperatures. they will take a little bit of a debt. that is coming up in a few minutes. >> we have done no steps. >> and then the sun comes back out.>>> thank you becky. we have all been on ice -- all c.has a $1.2 billion plan but not everybody -- cdot has a $1.2 billion plan, but not everybody agrees. >> reporter: the viaduct between brightening colorado boulevard

and flash flooding possible along the gunnison river. 5-8-foot surges possible because of an ice jam northeast of gunnison. that's gonna be a concern here. wind forecasts through the day really strong winds in the mountains and foothills. they kick up here during the afternoon out of the northwest. so these temperatures in the 40s that we've seen will be about as warm as it gets at any point during the day. and then it just gets chillier. so you're probably gonna want to put your jacket on that sleeveless dress later, amelia. just my suggestion. >> i brought one. i had a feeling you'd say that. >>> all right. as we head down to our south end drive across 25 near monument hill police activity due to a crash southbound near the 105 exit. off in the distance. speeds are doing okay. 40s and 50s. sunrise today at 7:19. so your sun glare factor is a 9. marty says very little cloud cover. >>> and the oscar nominations are, well, we won't know for a few more minutes. >> we won't. >> they are getting ready to announcing them though. we have a live look at hollywood just before the academy awa
