Fantastic looking morning around here. Temperatures, teens, 20s, 30s in eastern colorado. We have some of the typical cold air drainage into the mountain valleys right now. Youre seeing readings at or above freezing. We have a down slope wind. Its not going to be windy downtown. Were seeing 20, 30 mileper hour winds in the foothills. Planning out your morning, the rally, be in the 40s by the time you get things going. The rally is at 1 00 this afternoon. For the rest of us, good looking day. Foothills, mid50s around the metro area. Just slightly cooler in northern colorado. Really fantastic day. If you would remember this time last week, gary, we were in the middle of this much snow. We had to dress a little warmer. Too much fun. All right. Thank you much. It is a minute after 6 00. The city is buzzing in anticipation this morning. Biggest celebration of denver history.
