The lightning was crazy tonight. The wind was ferocious, but the rain is the big story, flash 11 15 for a portion of northeastern denver, rain reports upwards of 2 to 3 inches.

Three tropical systems taking aim at the lower 48. Youre worried about your holiday weekend. Ill have that forecast coming up in a few more minutes. Well check the radar.

Watches are already in effect. New overtime rules mean more pay for thousands of workers and potentially trouble for some businesses. Heres 9news reporter vicente arenas.

Almost certainly its in business is going to go up no matter how you dice it. More dollars shelled out. I was excited. Reporter Alexis Vaughn supervises 15 employees at a denver area restaurant and works more than 50 hours a week with no overtime. Extra pay she says would change her world. I can go buy an extra toy for my daughter, Something Like that and it kind of gives you a sense of im doing this for a reason. Phillip five fiver if is pfeiffer is already crunching some numbers. Once we get it all figured out it will be fine. Reporter just as fine as his pizza that keeps people coming back for more.

Police in lafayette say two robbers held a woman at gunpoint with her two children in the car and forced her to withdraw money from her bank account. Surveillance video shows a man and woman Police Believe are the robbers. Goodwill yesterday and convinced her to drive the pair to a post office and then take them to bayne and withdraw money.

Reporter thats why scott jones this is the scene of the crime, yeah. Reporter still cant understand the motive behind home friday night at the corner of 29th and birch. These are documents such as certificates and awards, photos, medals. Reporter things that validated eight years of scotts life. Theres a lot of stuff in there that we could have kind of shared together. Reporter that would have validated it for his 2yearold son years from now. They dont have the memories behind it. They dont have the work to have earned a lot of the stuff. Thats kind of the thing reporter scott can acknowledge the mistake of leaving his garage door open. Its like of all the things we had in the garage thats the only box that had things we cannot replace. Reporter his wife cannot acknowledge it was worthy of this. Theres a lot of value in that and we value that part of his life. So definitely it would be important family things that we treasure. Passed up the lawn mower, passed up the weed eater. Reporter attempts to dust nothing for police. My anger has driven towards resolve making sure this never happens again. You cant simultaneously steal from a 20monthold kid and from a person with their memories in a box from a previous life experience. Police say the lack of anything linking them to a possible suspect is making this very difficult, so they are relying on the public for lp foot wide. They are asking anyone if they see anything, to call them. Sometimes you hear no questions asked, just return it. Thats the exact sentiment. He said at this point i just want these things back so i can pass them down. U. S. Agriculture Department Offices in fort collins could remain closed tomorrow.

The Sheriffs Office said a neighbor called in 2008 to complain about the dogs being loose and aggressive. Neighbors who spoke to 9news say they rarely saw the dogs but heard them barking every day.

Florida senator marco rubio secured the nomination for reelection. He sidled back into the senate race after saying he was done with that office. He faces democratic congressman Patrick Murphy in a balance of power that could tip the senate. Hewlettpackards ceo and former ebay leader meg whitman was in denver today campaigning for Hillary Clinton. Noteworthy because whitman is a republican. She was National Finance co chair for new Jersey Governor Chris Christie during his president ial campaign. This stop in denver was her first public event for the campaign. I asked whether her crossparty endorsement of clinton as being better for business actually might prove Donald Trumps point, that clinton is the choice of the big money so i would argue that Hillary Clinton is not about the status quo at all. She is about reaching those individuals who have been left behind. If nothing else is clear about this election, it is there is a group of people who are not better off than they were eight years ago or 10 years ago or 20 years ago. Theyve been left behind by globalization, by startups disrupting Old Industries and frankly, by competitive, much more competitive countries around the before whitman endorsed clinton she sharply criticized trump saying that he exploited anger, division and xenophobia.

When she said he had a collar with his name on it and her number, i knew it had to be him. Is that phil had to have phil had to have one of his hind legs amputated. Other than that hes acting like his old self. A runaway truck plows into a line of stopped cars on a new york highway, save the life of a young woman. A lot of barbecues will get soaked if we have another day like this on labor day. There is hope in kathy sabines forecast. Ill tell you why tim the age of dashcams and cell phone cameras have brought us scenes that both amaze and terrify. This is from the latter category. A semi crashes into stopped traffic on a highway in new york. The crash happened last week. One of the cars catches fire and people in other vehicles ran to pull the driver out. No one died. The woman in the burning car had cuts and bruises, a couple others with more serious injuries. Po semi failed. 10 cars got tangled up in the mess. In florida a bear encounter so close the woman who recorded it could feel its breath. It was a case of distracted sitting. She was in her garage playing a game on her phone. She looked up and there the bear was in her face. The woman says she stayed as still as she could moving just enough to record the video on her phone and text her son to come help her. I thought she was messing with me and got a new app or something. Knee jerk that that might scare him and i didnt know what his reaction would be.

They are the good ones. Theyre almost all good ones. Jonahs Lemonade Stand wasnt doing so well even at 20 five cents a cup and free 25 cents a cup and free refills. Jonah has high functioning autism. It just would be nice when he puts himself out there if the 6yearold from lafayette was sitting by waiting on a hot day all by his lonesome until his grandma called to the First Responders emergency line. First the fire sergeant from the Lafayette Fire Department and the fire engine and a hat and jackets and that is how jonahs day was jacket and saved. It made me feel happy and special. Next is our next news feature. You can see stories from next on the Kyle Clark Facebook page every weeknight at 6 p. M. Weather turned out to be a big story today. Im meteorologist kathy sabine outside in the 9news backyard. The pictures coming in on facebook and twitter tell the tale of the day. We had poorly organized storm system hovering out there much of the afternoon and then this. Those driving in and out of the Boulder Canyon area the roadway up there, highway 119, heavy flooding rain around the area. That heavy rain pushed east of the city thankfully. Your morning drive, no issues. Some patchy fog on the far eastern plains, low cloud cover, a little damp. Our high today 82, just about 5 degrees shy of where we should be this time of year. A number i think well see again tomorrow. Down to 64 degrees at dia, wind south at 3 but calm in the not now, nice and 64 outside the studios. Storms we are tracking continue to bubble up around the city, finally starting to weaken. We had a convergence slide develop at the corridor and a line was set up when the storms formed. They produced 1 to 4 inches of rain and didnt move. A Flash Flood Warning continues for tonight and now areas west of boulder, heavy rain subsiding but the damage already done and tough travel in and out of some of those canyons with mud and debris on the roadways. Cluster of thundershowers from i25, denver metro down to castle rock, colorado springs. Elsewhere quiet. The flood threat shifts south and east overnight. The tropical moisture plume stays south of the area, but with this moisture a front day tomorrow. The heaviest rain will fall in the blue and purple shaded areas. Notice much of that activity is south of the metro area and east where temperatures will be a lot warmer. Low 80s in the city, heat building to the west and hot down south, cool pockets of air starting to invade the northern tier, some signs the weather patterns are changing as we move into early september. Low clouds and fog for the eastern plains, showers and storms moving out. Enough moisture and heating of the day well see some of those wild storms coming up from south coming back in from the northeast kind of like spokes on a wheel. Not the forward progression that you would typically expect where they move in and out. Theyre heavy rainers. The searing winds aloft are weak. Looks like fall in kremmling tonight 39, 54 in denver, warmest out west tomorrow, cool and comfortable along the front range, these numbers below average for this time of year. 65 in neared lan and mid60s in showers and thunderstorms ending, areas of patchy fog, tomorrow 54, sunshine getting us to the 70s by lunchtime, similar to today, slidely drier and less severe but the chance of heavy rain. Pack the umbrella especially if youre heading out to the doubleheader at coors field tomorrow. A little warming trend for the weekend of what could be a stormy friday. Lots of sunshine as we move through the first full week of september, looks terrific. Speaking of terrific, not the weeds if ill just leave you with this, a little bit of serenity now. Speaking of which drew is in next with sports. You dont want to miss that. From colorados sports leader heres drew soicher. Hi, everybody. Turns out the broncos quarterback wont be the only inexperienced player under pressure when the regular their punter will be, also. The broncos booted Quinton Colquitt today, released as the team trimmed its roster down to 75 men. The much less expensive rookie riley dixon wins the job. Colquitt was the longest tenured player on the broncos. Now that title belongs to wide receiver demaryius thomas. Quarterback mark sanchez has got to be the greatest teammate of all time as rumors swirl about possible trades to the Dallas Cowboys and sanchez who has fallen from first to third string is supporting Trevor Siemian who beat him out for the job. As a competitor youre disappointed that things went the way this they did, but you also understand that they did, but you also understand theres an emotional side and a competitor side and a teammate side and me enjoying my time here and really respecting this organization and respecting trevor as a friend and player and teammate, the most important thing to do is move forward and help this team. If things dont work out the way you wouldnt, you cant cause a problem. Its not right. I just dont think thats the professional way to do it. Nuggets made a trade today dealing for Joffrey Lavern to the Oklahoma City thunder in exchange for a pair of second round draft picks. Lavern once made the worse pass in basketball history off an opponents face, but thats probably not why he was traded. Still of the night comes from lower downtown where the rockies game with the dodgers got canceled after a rain delay of more than the still of the night. Former broncos quarterback tim tebow got mixed reviews at his baseball workout today. Great power, above average speed, poor outfield play. You must admit its pretty impressive unless youre one of those fools who was so outraged that timmy would dare to oh, calm down. Tim tebow wants to play professional baseball. Whats so terribly wrong with that . Its just a publicity stunt. Huh . Timmy invited a bunch of scouts to watch him take a few swings and decide for themselves. Now if a team thinks hes terrible but signs him anyway just to sell tickets, please colorado rockies, please colorado rockies, please, please, please, well, then thats a publicity stunt, but this isnt Dennis Rodman marrying himself or balloon boy flying across the colorado sky. Tim is a former all state baseball player who wants to try baseball again. Tebows disrespecting the game. Really . In order to succeed at baseball you need to be committed and focused and diligent, the same words commonly used to describe tim tebow. He isnt built like a baseball player. Was the exact same height and weight. He needs to stick to football and change positions. Doesnt want to. He needs to spend a few years in the canadian league. Doesnt want to. You see, tim tebow chases his dreams, not ours, believes in himself, likes a good challenge, maybe we ought to stop criticizing everything he does and embrace the fact tebow continues to live his life his stunt, then timmy deserves the pub. Too bad he let himself go. Otherwise tebow might have a real shot at this. You think . How bad do you want that . 28 of the 30 Major League Teams showed up at this tryout in los angeles. Only the as and cubs didnt twitter is blowing up about your tebow story tonight. Not bad blowing up, good blowing up. No. Thats impossible
