Decent travel weather for those headed home from work or school with temperatures in the mid 50s. Winds are light out of north at 5 at dia but calm near the 9news backyard outside the studios with 52 degrees. Wind has been a big story again for much of this week, but the winds out of the west have really helped melt off a lot of the wind and ice. Downsloping winds. Temperatures today above average again, maybe not as expected. Weve been tracking this weak front draped off to the east of us. 40s. It still came close to 60 downtown today, but we did have kind of that easterly influence for a time and that did keep temperatures just a smidge cooler but not tomorrow. The average high and low valleys, you can see by comparison were doing pretty well for february and the wind scenario has improved greatly as well, still seeing reports of higher gusts around the higher passes and nederland and blackhawk areas and broomfield night. Weve got a progressive northwest flow going from the Pacific Northwest down toward the gulf.

Hi, everybody, the super bowl over a week ago and the broncos still havent approached Brock Osweiler about a new contract even though osweiler sat the bench for the entire postseason. He had a big smile on his face considered the teams qb of the future. Youd figure they would have made an offer by now. Brocks contract expires in live. 9news broncos insider mike klis just returned from the barbershop and joins us for klis and tell. Brock osweiler yet . Reporter for two reasons of one they wanted to honor Peyton Manning and let him retire on his own terms and two, if youre Brock Osweiler, i think theres an assumption osweiler wants to make sure theres clearing with manning before he comes back for the broncos. He does want to be the broncos quarterback going forward. Behind manning. Then he comes off the bench, starts seven games, plays well. A lot of people thought he played well enough to prove that he is an nfl starting quarterback and then postseason time the rug was pulled out osweiler is ready to be a quarterback. He wants to make sure that job is there for him and the only way to make sure that job is there for him in denver is if manning is out of the way. Everyone is expecting manning to announce his retirement sometime soon, but how will these latest allegations of a Sexual Assault at the university of tennessee over two decades ago affect peytons timing . Reporter well, those allegation even though they did happen two decades ago, drew, i would think hijack the special Retirement Press conference that Peyton Manning would have. They want to play all this Video Montage and all the pomp and circumstance and celebrate it the way it should. Instead it would be about all these allegations. I think even though Peyton Manning has lawyered up and told not to talk about this because of a confidentiality agreement that he already related once and got himself in trouble, they dont want him has to come out and Say Something to somebody to try to let some of the air out of this balloon before his Retirement Press conference. Real quick, any chance at all manning returns to the broncos . No. Mike klis, fried, died, laid to the decide, thanks.
