An unusual Home Invasion took place in adams county lessening for intruders, all wearing masks, looking for some dope. Dan daru has the story and compelling video actually showing the breaking and entering and what happened inside. It was a peaceful evening for the Schneider Family, soon it would take a turn to the surrealistic. Really scary. At about 10 3 last night, the schneiders heard an unusual noise. It sounded like something was rustling in the kitchen. They spotted some food scattered on the floor and blame their cats. I thought it was the cats horsing around. It wasnt their cats. I turn the light on, and when i turned the light on i stood here and i saw them sitting right in their. Very short, furry, and all wearing masks. And they were caught in the act, right here on that camera. Not one, not to, not three, but for hungry raccoons jumped up on schneiders porch, grabbed the screen, tore it down, and illegally entered the home. I know they are hungry and they are animals and the need to eat, but coming into someones home . The bandits almost made it out with the dell. It wasnt regular was spread dell. Nobody was hurt, including the bandits, but the schneiders were a little shaken by the experience.

Now the Schneider Family did not outside, they only had that low window open and thats all it took for those raccoons. Im sure they could sense it themselves. The fact that they tore the screen. There, like bears now. I would have tipped my hat to them and said good job. I mentioned at the top of the newscast to cold front someone came yesterday and knocked the 10 degrees in one hour. This one has more bite to it. And not the temperatures down 2a storm. And the wind, look at this video. We have seen hail and the trees are bending sideways. And a lot of places this evening be on guard for the wind, small hail and lightning accompanying the storms, plus if youre lucky, rain. Unfortunately as you can see the storm rolled over and brought more rain. Brought life radar. Well we have thunderstorms in other parts of the state, the concentration here along the cold front which is knifing quickly to the south. Notice the lightning with a few strikes out west and down south but the more numerous strikes are with the storms. The bigger storms are splitting denver to the east and off to the west in the foothills. Here is a live view. Northern front range as you go from thorne past longmont into the fort collins area the showers have let up. We have a bigger storm out here. This is the one that left a trail of hail from eaton to greeley and continuing to grow and pulls up and down. The strength when up and came down. We still have until 6 00 a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and it is producing again. We will continue to track it as it cuts across 36 and heads down toward i 70. You have pretty good wind and rain. In denver a lot of the green you its evaporating. That is why we get a lot of gusty wind here in the city. The evaporation is a cooling process and causes the air to become dense and it rushes to the ground. The west side of town arvada and wheat ridge is seen some rain here. We will keep an eye on that and thats video we had at the top and his cast that cold creek canyon. R rader is indicating with that. It is not large enough to be severe. Southern metro area just seeing rain as well. It is quite most places. Dekkers is seeing pictures as well. Southeast colorado a couple of thunderstorms and a couple of showers and southwest colorado. Up to the north more spotty showers. The highs today 70s and 80s and we did touch 90 degrees in grand junction. Warmer 80s over the Eastern Plains. Denver came in at 81 degrees. But look at where we are right now. Outside right now with the clouds overhead, just not a lot the temperatures are down to the 60s with a brisk northeast wind. That northeast direction tells you the cold front has gone by. Here are the temperatures in the 60s but look to the north here out towards bloomfield and thorton area. I will pull back into q further north. Look at these temperatures in the 50s. That is the difference. Yesterday we were in the 80s90s and drop to the 70s. Today we are at 80 degrees and dropped into the 50s. That is how much colder this front is. The 24 hour temperatur comparison as some places is down 20 plus degrees from where we were yesterday after the cold front went by. This is pretty cool air moving in. Future cast and there are the storms overhead. Between now and 7 00 i think is when they will be the strongest. Between 7 00 and 9 00 weakening and left with showers. After that we are done. E3 the skies are clear and i had a chance for showers and the saturday forecast and have taken them out. Here is saturday with maybe a stray shower down south but overall the front range in all look fantastic. There is a wider view by 9 00 tonight the storms will be here in southeast colorado and weakening. They move away. Any rain on your saturday is going to hug the San Juan Mountains to the south and west of the stanleys valley and southern colorado. Maybe this outside of metro gets a glancing shower. From denver and i 70 north is a goodlooking day. Tonight lows in the 40s and 50s with cool 40s and 30s in the mounds. That 46 degrees in denver will be tying a record low set back in cooler it will be tonight. Tomorrow 70s and 80s and back to 90 degrees in grand junction. We will look for cooler 70s over the Eastern Plains thanks to the vigorous cold front sliding through now. From now until about 9 00 evening storms and gusty winds. We will keep an eye out for those stronger ones in the Eastern Plains. Again it could be a record though at 46 degrees. 77 degrees tomorrow and a pleasant looking day with a we quickly jump into the 80s on sunday and close to 90 degrees on monday with a stray storm. Watch the temperatures trail off again into the 70s as the rain chances come back each afternoon. Tuesday and especially wednesday, thursday and friday.
