doesn't mean we are not watching certain things. let me show you what i mean. off to the east, this one gave us snow in the high country. around wolf creek, five inches of snow. and they had maybe an inch or two as you got further north. a couple of sprinkles here over the even plains. now the moisture is sitting off to the maybe a little shower up there and it dies down. i will run this through tuesday at 10:00. news time. and, there, you just don't see anything going on there at all. as we take a look at the freeze watch, we have this. now, this is from 10:00 p.m. tuesday into wednesday. not tonight until tomorrow night. but tuesday night into wednesday. we have some clear skies. with the clear skies we think the temperatures temperatures will chill thrown there in the southeast. now, as we take a look at what we have going on, we have the system here pushing the air. that is why we were just a few degrees cooler than yesterday. not much in the way of cool air. but you see the storm system off the pacific. and then you see another storm system here. what that is showing you is everything is coming in. there is plenty of moisture. plenty of storms. but they are all going to the north. with this storm track to the north and the high pressure ridge over us forcing all the storms to the north, that lets the warm air up from the deserts. that is why we are mild. so, dry, because the storms to the north. and mild because that warm air comes in to take its place. you can see how wa with 50s , 60s , 70s over a great deal of the nation, down to the south, from vegas, all the way to miami, you see temperatures in the 80s . we had a high of 64. both locations today. after starts of 36 and 38. here is where we should be. 56 for the high. 28 degrees for the low. the records, 78 and 10. weather watchers, 59 in lafayette. 60 in arvada. 65 in brush. east 9 for the wins. barometer. a shot here, this is a sunrise from deckers. and we have a sunset over chatfield state park. you can see how the sky is reflected in the water there. and this is sunset from quincy. temperatures mostly in the 30s and the 20s in the eastern plains. 20s in the mountains. tomorrow, another day like today with 50s , 60s . nearing 70 degrees for the eastern plains. 50s and 60s for outs west, mostly in the 50s . we will call for clear skies. with that, 36 and 7 the overnight lows. tomorrow, mostly sunny. we are right back into the mid 60s . the next several days, 71 degrees on wednesday. then right back into the mid to upper 60s taking us right through saturday. and i will tell you right now, sunday looks like more of the same. >> all right, thanks ed. well, if the cubs can win the world series, the rockies have a chance. have their eye on the future. the club introduced their new manager today. why bud black provides a bright outlook and why thing haves been bleak for the broncos ,, ,, ,, deskrd ford f series. the official trucks of the nfl. it seems fitting that a team that struggles with pitching would hire a former pitcher as the new manager. bud black officially introduced by the rockies today. black managed the padres more than eight seasons and was named the national league manager of the year back in 2010. his resume is long including 15 years as a pitcher in the major leagues. he won a world series when he was the pitching coach for the angels back in another. >> it is not necessarily what bud has done. but, what will do. and that is what is so exciting. it is the opportunity we have in front of us. the opportunity we look forward to with this man to really take us to where we want to get to. >> good things are had. we have a couple of teams to chase down which i think we are going to. i think we are going to do everything we can to get back was in 07. and that's the world series. >> for a team that want to be balanced, they no no problem runs the ball. denver ran 39 plays. only 12 of them rushing attempts. that led to 33 rushing yards. now, the offensive line is not good. i get that, but you at least have to give them a chance to run the ball. 12 rushing attempts is not nearly enough. and it is hard for gary kubiak to say he wants consistency from his offense when the players are consistency in the play column. >> we have to run the ball earlier, 13, 14 rushing attempts in the last game. as a running back, you know, we want to run the ball more. we definitely want the ball in our hands. we are the original play makers of the offense. i think he does a good job when he get it is ball in his hands. i think i do when i get the ball in my hands and i think good. >> the avalanches decided to start calvin picard against arizona. the avalanche 3-0 when he starts in goal. michael malone got the hot start he had been looking nor in boston. the nuggets scored 77 in the first half thanks in large part to emanuel moudiay. now, video game numbers like this are not realistic every night. but they were certainly a welcome sight for a team that has been struggling games. >> his mind set to start the game was, he imposed his will from the jump ball. and, that is who he need to be every single night. does not need to score the 4 points a quarter but he can lead the team, be aggressive and set the tone for us. >> well, the rise is real. isaiah oliver named the special teams player of the week. his 68-yard punt return capped off cu's win over ucla last thursday. get this. prior to the season, cu had a honorees in its first five seasons in the pack 12. they already have six this year. certainly a good measure. >> oh, so great. so happy for them. and the fans. ,, ,, ,, ,, scott tipton -- our congressman? or is he a real-estate agent for big-money campaign contributors? over 30 colorado business leaders called tipton's plans, "a serious threat to the outdoor recreation industry and...thousands of jobs." gail schwartz will defend our public lands and won't put colorado's future up for sale. house majority pac is responsible >> so, the crystal ball is showing nothing but blue skies still. >> it really does. just like the five day forecast. >> yes. take a look at this. we have five sunshines all in a row. and temperatures in the mid 60s to the lower 70s taking us right into the weekend. and, the plus four more. right through the weekend. >> right through the week. all right, ed, thank you very much. >> and thank you for joining us on colorado's news channel. >> evening new is coming captioning sponsored by cbs >> one day. >> vote tomorrow. >> this election will decide whether we are ruled by a corrupt political class or whether we are ruled by thepo people.re we're going to be ruled by the people. >> tomorrow you can vote for a hopeful, inclusive, big-hearted captioning sponsored by cbs tt this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: this is a special expanded edition of the "evening news." the presidential campaign, nasty from the start, featuring two candidates with historically high disapproval ratings, is finally coming to an end. major garrett and nancy cordes are here with us. they've been covering the campaigns from the start. y, closing argument today? >> reporter: well, her closing message, scott, was that she wanted to get beyond that nastiness and try to unify the country. she said she would make it a priority as president, and donald trump, she argued, has run a very divisive candidacy and would be a very divisive president. here's how she put it to supporters in grand rapids, michigan, this afternoon.th >> when your kids and your grandkids ask you in the future everything was on the line, you'll be able to say you voted for a stronger, fairer, better america where we build bridges, not walls. >> reporter: clinton argues that she has a reputation for building consensus in the senate and that she can do it in the c white house, too. >> pelley: nancy cordes, thankd you very much. on to major garrett. major, what was trump's close today?he how did he try to wrap it ups with the voters? >> reporter: scott, the closing argument is this: everyone in american political life notd supporting donald trump is some combination of stupid, corrupt or weak. and in the case of hillary clinton, trump argues vigorously she's all three. he also lays before his supporters this proposition: if
