Also looking. And now, relieving news, she is found safely and the suspect is in custody. Thanks for the update. Good news. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us. Gary, corey, colleen with you, on this friday morning. Yes. Meteorologist Marty Coniglio in the 9 backyard. So marty, a little rain here and. There maybe for some people . I would say especially in southeastern colorado. Where we have storms going, the last few days, and tons of scenes like this, because we have the Late Afternoon storms, and with a lot of country club. Today, very different weather situation. It is quite dry out here. A couple of minutes here to sunrise. We have extremely dry stable air. And it looks good. Because we dont have a tremendous amount of wildfire smoke over the area. Which is wonderful news. A lot of folks breathing very easily this morning. And the thunderstorms, just now wrapping up in southeastern colorado. It has been raining around lamar here for quite a while. 6 30, finally move out into kansas. For us today, the temperatures are in the 50s. And you really feel that nice cool air. Into the lower 80s, in the afternoon today, and i am really thinking, as far as thunderstorms go, we are not going to see much around here. Even during the evening, when youre driving home, you will probably see some storms down along Monument Hill, but in the immediate metro area, it it just looks like a calm dry friday. And amelia, the front came through, and really stabilized things today. Yes, and what a the highs only in the 80s. That will be a nice change. Sky 9 is now over the crash that we mentioned in the 5 00 hour. Along i25. Near highway 52. And this is not a part of the breaking news from earlier this morning where we had an i25 closure. This is a new crash on the frontage road near 52 on i25. And both directions of the frontage road blocked but i25 is getting through just fine. I25, the highway is your alternate route. Lets take a look at the rest of the morning commute, where we have problems along i25 the northbound direction, on the approach to the santa fe exit, you can see the flashing lights there, a little hard to see, but the traffic is backing up pretty quickly. Here is where the accident is across the map. And northbound coming through the bridges and you will run into that accident scene, right there off to the right shoulder and the right lane of the drive, from the dtc, and it is a 13minute wait. We have a rollover crash on the side streets a the a pretty busy intersection here and it is blocking up mississippi, and monaco. And crews arrived on the scene, about 20 minutes ago, and we like they will flip the car over, gary, before everything is clear. Okay, thank you much for that. Well, some sad news to start with this morning, the Arapahoe CountySheriffs Office is investigating the death of a 7yearold girl at an apartment Swimming Pool. Deputies were called out to the complex on east florida in southeast denver, just after 6 00. On thursday night. They pulled the little girl out of the pool, began cpr, but she died at the hospital. Deputies do not think that any adults were around at the time. Over a parking spot. Now, a 21yearold man is in jail, accused of killing a man in straussberg. Police say jeremiah pepper got into a fight with a 23yearold Andrew Martinez and stabbed him in the chest. Pepper faces firstdegree murder charges. We are officially at the Halfway Point of the summer olympics in rio. It is the last stretch, if it is anything like the start, we are in for a treat. Thats for sure. Michael phelps and simone biles are the headliners. They led the team usa to a huge night this olympics brings really, really high, highs and the deepest lows. It always does. And matt and cheryl are in rio and the rain started pouring over there, huh . Yes, about 30 seconds ago, we started huddling under this little ticket booth. This right here is where you buy the tickets and we should show them what it looks like right now. Our one shot at staying dry because everyone is throwing trash bags on and trying to make it to whatever theyre going to. It was busy here just a few pouring in rio. It has been a couple of days of rain actually. And it is winter time in rio, so this is a powder day. Yes. Absolutely. Yes. And lets talk about a little bit of swimming. You were mentioning the high highs and the low lows, we experienced both of thoughs, within 30 minutes, inside those, within 30 minutes inside the same aquatic system in olympic park. Simone manual, 20 years old, first time olympian, the first ever afn to win an individual gold medal. And it was fantastic and the smile was huge and the tears started to flow as she understood the history of the moment as she listened to the anthem. And she talked about this win, hopefully brings some hope and change to some of the issues going on in our country. And she says she hopes to inspire little girls who maybe wouldnt have considered trying the sport of swimming but can watch her and say i could do that, too. And it is a gold medal that swimmer, these two racers went 100 meet ner the pool, only to touch that wall at the exact time. 52. 70. And then share the gold medal. It is only happened in swimming two other times, 84 and in 2000, so rare for that to happen. Incredible. And heart break for colorados missy franklin. Her olympics end, as she does not make the final in the 200 backstroke. And an event she holds the world record. And is the defending olympic champion. And she said she just doesnt know what happened in the herself. Before the race, and then in the water, either, kind of losing steam toward the end. Finishing 14th overall. And she said she feels shattered. I feel like i still have so much left to give to this sport. I think i probably need to work on the love and the fun of it. Thats something that is really been missing for me. So definitely going to take some time and figure out how to get that back. Wish i could tell you what happened to me and i wish i this year, but i dont have an explanation for it it. You know, she said it has been the hardest week of her life. Hands down. But she has to believe something beautiful can come out of this. She is already talking about four years from now. And making the comeback of her life at the next olympics and it says a lot about missy when she looked in the camera and said im sorry fy let anyone down. I know team usa does not feel that way. Not at all. People are here to see there. A fun race. And thats what people are here for. Some fun. For some fun. And one of the places that they get some of that fun is from the many volunteers that are trying to point people in the right direction to go. A lot of times, they are just trying to tell you how to get where you want to go but bringing a lot of smiles to the olympic park and to us. . Every day, for ma matter, we caught the samba welcoming crew. They are dancing to the music in the park, singing with a great start to the day. Having a lot of fun. They were lucky they were dancing before it started pouring just for sure. And we couldnt help but jump in and join them. And learn universal lane of pointing, the fun, the venue, that is that way. Thats where you got to go because everyone is smiling and having a good time. We thought the message would be a slight bit different. Matt, where are the rain slickers . Over there. And can we find any umbrellas . Some place drive . Corey . I think we better look over this way. [ laughter ] you guys have some moves. Cheryl in a corner. From dirty dancing. I like it. Thats my era, people. We will do that move, coming up. Oh, boy. [ laughter ] be careful if you do. You guys are awesome. Thank you. So remember when we were talking about the olympics, a few big stories, with the zika virus and of course the water. We havent really had a lot of those stories except for now. We have the first sick olympian from the polluted waters rio. Eve van rico is a bell can sailor and got sick when racing in polluted bay in wednesday and training in rio since july. And 9 minutes after 6 00. And mens hoops will fix a major underdog today, in syria. And yes, they have a basketball team. Syria is making the first olympic appearance since becoming an independent nation. Meanwhile, american golfer matt kutcher sits two under, second round of the mens Golf Tournament and enters day six marcus frazier. And womens soccer is going to be played today. U. S. And sweden. They will continue their quest for a fourth straight gold medal. The u. S. Team, that is. And Michael Phelps will look for his fifth, yes, fifth gold medal of these games, today in the 100meter butterfly and today is the first day of track and field. Lots coming up today. Well, we knew it was bad. The july 29th storm that hit weld county wasnt just bad. Insurance experts say it was catastrophic. 25million worth of property in northern colorado. And southern wyoming. Lightning strikes sparked several fires over there. And more than 10,000 of insurance claims have been filed so far just in colorado alone. And we should not see anything like that today. Or any type of that weather. And certainly nothing over the front range. And anything that goes big today, it will be south and east of Colorado Springs. And one of the reasons for that, it is the monsoon wind has shifted a little bit. It has been pushed more into the midwest. So not a lot of water to work with for us. And High Pressure to the west, that will limit our thunderstorm development, around here. Over the weekend. And currently, over 300,000 acres of wildfires burning in the west. And 35,000acre beaver creek fire. Bullet with recent rain, and the way but with recent rain and the way the upper air pattern is going, we are not surfing with any problems with air quality out of that. The air looks great. And skies are nice and blue and i think they stay that way most of the day. Good way to fini well, it is a long summer for football fans and our broncos did not disappoint in the first game of the football season, preseason football, since the super bowl, the reigning champs, they definitely made a statement. I would say they did. It was a great first preseason game. But are we any closer to knowing who the starting quarterback will be on september 8 . We will look into that coming up. Everyone wants to know. And the United States has been pretty unstoppable in rio this week. We continue to lead in overall medals and gold medals. 12 silver. 10 bronze. And china has 30 total medals and japan with 22, and russia with 19. And Great Britain is in fifth welcome back. 614 67 89 we will go live out to i25 and the frontage road at highway 52. The frontage road itself, it is closed down, due to a traffic accident. We are waiting to get confirmation of exactly what happened here. But i25, it is slowing down. Because of the curiosity around all the flashing lights here at the frontage road, and the frontage road is completely closed at 52. So plan on using i25 as your alternate route. The southbound frontage point in time. Though there is one Police Officer or vehicle on that side of the highway. So for right now, northbound traffic, along the frontage road is blocked. The rest of us, out across denver have seen a lot of action in terms of our early friday start. And a crash northbound 25 at santa fe, and it is off to the right shoulder and luckily the backups are light. If it sticks around, delays at 15 to 20 minutes out of the denver tech center. And right now the central corridor is still remaining light. And speeds are averaging at 68 and side streetwise, we still have that rollover accident at mississippi and monaco. And this one is going to cause big delays because monaco is a pretty popular northbound and southbound route for folks who want to avoid the highway back up. Marty . And matt and cheryl in the rain, copacabana beach, at e airport. And inland, mostly cloudy skies. And in the 60s in rio this morning. They are separating some showers to they are anticipating some showers to finish up and hang on the beach a with the temperatures in the 60s and 70s today. This is one of the cooler days we are going to see with a few showers around the area today, and then again on tuesday. Sunday and monday, they move into the mid80s. Pretty close to as warm as we are going to be at the same time. Hazy and hot throughout northeastern texas and into oklahoma today. We have storms finishing up here in southeastern colorado. And it has been an active morning in the southeast. And with the front that is really stabilizing the air, if rock, to the south, late this afternoon, and you will see a buildup, but really, from Douglas County to the north, i dont see much happening around here. With 80s for our highs, and 60s and 70s in the mountains. And those storms down south, they are moving out. There has already been some rain down there and any additional heavy rain looks to be south and east of wallsonburg and trinidad and the Colorado Springs areas today. And mostly 80s for eastern colorado. And in the west. Grand junction might be slightly warmer than that. With 70s. Storms, generally staying to our south today. We will go 84 today. In the mid50s tonight. Really nice crisp start to the day. And small chance for a storm or two tomorrow. And i think we could see some Severe Weather over the Eastern Plains tomorrow afternoon. And evening. And Storm Chances are even smaller on sunday. And then hello, 90s, again, by monday. Hello 90s. Yes. Hello. Thanks, much. Mark . Trevor . Paxton . What do you think . Starter. After denvers preseason win at chicago, it doesnt seem much clearer who will end up to be the starting quarterback for the broncos. We were hoping to see a standout last night but they were all pretty good. All three quarterbacks played well in the season opener. Broncos scored in a variety of ways including this mark sanchez touchdown pass to demaryius thomas. And Trevor Simeon had a nice job here moving down field connecting on seven throws. And rookie paxton lynch completed the t the guys are feeling good after the first action. Exactly the way we wanted to come out, it is efficient, and get the ball down the field, and establish the run game and the offensive line protecting me really well and we have a running game going and hit a couple of passes through the air. And took a big hit and made a good throw. And it felt good to go out there and finally play against a real defense and be live and get hit and move around the pocket and make some throws out there. So it felt good to go against a so we know of course, have you your favorite. And maybe youre still deciding. Yes. I think a lot of people are still deciding. We want toker that from you, what do you think and who do you think the broncos should start. Get to vote, live coming up at 6 38. And make sure to get out your phone. Okay. We have a poll going now. A twitter poll. Go to the 9 news twitter page with a poll going and see what people think and you can vote for paxton, trevor or mark. There you go. They all looked good, as we said. Sinc, Michael Phelps. Right . Yes, last night he got face to face with his friend and rival for one last time. But not before the two of them welcome back. A chilling video out this morning, shows the suspect behind a foiled terror plot in canada. In it, the suspect, aaron driver says his country has a lot to pay for, because of its tacks on muslims. He voiced his t before. Driver was killed by police on wednesday after he detonated an explosive device inside a taxi. Donald trump is now saying his comments about president obama founding isis was quote sarcasm. And the republican president ial candidate tweeted an hour ago saying the quote ratings challenged cnn reporter, reported seriously that he called president obama and Hillary Clinton the founders of isis. And then added, quote, they dont get sarcasm . At a rally earlier this week, trump said obama and clint terrorist organization. And a day later he told several Media Outlets including cnbc and cnn that he meant what he said. It is 6 23 right now. Hillary Clintons Campaign says that accusations that a state Department Aide crossed the line when she was secretary of state are absurd. A report by a conservative group says that one of her top aides at the time she was secretary of state did double duty for the clinton foundation, which is a nonprofit foundation, clinton Campaign Says cheryl mills volunteered for the foundation on her own time and paid for a trip to new york to volunteer with her own money.

But als, lou gehrigs disease is a disease affecting many people, and one man is bucket challenge and see him in action in a couple of minutes but first, a quick check of the weather and traffic. Thank you, gary. We are going up live to our view of i25 and highway 52. The frontage road loofng i25, to be specific. But both are affected. There is an autopedestrian accident that took place within the last hour. And the scene investigate is now ongoing. The frontage road, northbound is closed. The southbound frontage road remains open. And i25 remains open. However the delays are is visible from the highway drive. And we have sky 9 overhead, as well as our ground view here. So we will keep you posted on to when everything gets back to normal here. To the north end. Marty . Thanks, amelia. Around here, this morning, it is dry. We are anticipating temperatures to be in the lower and middle 80s today. And most storm action will be south of castle rock, this afternoon.
