Weve got Drought Conditions<\/a> that lead up to exceptional around parts of tennessee, alabama, georgia and also South Carolina<\/a>. Hopefully the line of showers and thunderstorms helps, doesnt spark any more wildfires, especially with lightning. Around here clear skies tonight, very cold evening and with lots of sunshine coming into most of tomorrow we are going to see a warmer day. Afternoon highs climb into the our low tonight, 9 for greeley, 12 fort collins, teens in our eastern plains. High country will see teens as well, low 20s across the western slope and heres my concern with that 16degree low. Weve had quite a bit of melting today. If we have any standing water on any of our roads, that could refreeze overnight and cause black ice early tomorrow morning. So if you are out and about early tomorrow, please use extra caution and fry and do your best to best to watch out for that. 52 our high tomorrow, mostly sunny skies, winds east 5 to 10 Miles Per Hour<\/a>. Were up to 65 sunday, upper 50s monday, increasing clouds with a storm system that brings more snow to the high country. Mountain areas loving that forecast. It may also bring a mixture of rain and snow to denver late monday night into early tuesday morning. We should still make our highs up to about 45 on tuesday and tuesday afternoon the storm 56 thanksgiving, 50s throughout the weekend. Im going to end you on this note. Annuals obviously do not like the snow and cold. Our own director Lawrence Gibbs<\/a> found this out when he left his beautiful annual that he says lasted way longer than he thought it would out on his patio overnight and then the storm hit and it just didnt make it. Im going to say right now a pu because hes probably throwing something at the television saying im telling you guys always to bring in those pots and lawrence, what is he doing during the weatr forecast . Is he taking a napolitano i mean come on. Lets ask him is he a nap . I mean come on. Lets ask him. Is he getting a coffee . Before you go, wiper blades up or down . Yeah. Is that like i should know that answer to that question . No, its a debate. The question is what you to protect your wiper blades when its cold . Yeah, u up for sure. We do that. To prevent damage . Yes. All right. Lets see what our audience thinks. Up. S bring the resultback , wow, the pers people showed up all of a sudden. Started out wipers yeah. I meyan thats the evpeople do the place. I feel like im forgetting a big step if i dont do it. 11 to the forecast and do the right thing listen to the forecast and do the right thing, lawrence, the wiper blades. Defitely take the plants in. It was a good stretch, though, with that annual. A man named santa claus and they say thats his real name is an unlikely marijuana add advocate. Firefighters in riverside county, california had to deal with this overnight, a fire at a. M. It burn a 1 2 acre of pallets, four alarm fire. Multiple explosions were reported due to propane tanks in that pallet yard. Th pallet fire in that area in the past few weeks. Arson investigators are looking into what might have caused it. Bor t to get you into the holding their holiday ceremonies . this weekend. On saturday centenni . Al will light its ch center park 4 00 to 6 00. Boulder switches on holiday happens on sunday in Downtown Boulder<\/a> and santa will count down to the lighting of the Boulder County<\/a> courthouse and Federal Street<\/a> mall. Pearl street mall and you can always get started park holiday marke weekend. Local vendors will sell a variety of handcrafted items at the estes park conference center. There will be a Lighting Ceremony<\/a> at estes park tomorr night. So lets meet santa claus, that is this mans real legal name, loves christs obviously. Hes a deeply religious monk, a child vo . Vkqcate, also city yeah, hes north pole, alaska, and yeah, hes also an unlikely marijuana advocate. Residents in his town voted to outlaw the sale of marijuana in city limits. Hes a cancer patient, too and uses pot to ease his symptoms. Im using it for my medical purposes. Might be considered egregious. Since marijuana cant be sold in north pole, alaska, stores are set to open in nearby fairbanks. Continue to gr s own hell because thats still legal in city limits. That seems like a perfect time to make slacker and steve follow that. Yes. We just dont want to go there, but we know youll go there. Well, thats not mistletoe. Okay. There you go. Prompting. Im pleased with that. So you guys have been putting in a lot of cool polls today. Captain kirk, theyre in a fight, a twitter war. Star wars did this terrible holiday special and he made fun of it. It was awful. Because steve believes that star trek has spawned all space movies. Nobody do anything before star trek. George lucas admitted hed ripped off from star trek. Hed probably admit it if he could, but definitely did. I feel like theres more warlike themes in star wars. Its in after all. Youd have to get everyone on onboard on one sideto send all the ships star trek universe. Youre hedging. Im leaning star wars. Dont lean. Jump in. Im jumping. Theres always the weakness in e deh star. Theyve blown it up three times now. Kim . I dont know anything about either one. Kim can get a cup ofcoffee. It does not keep me up at night. Im going to sleep well knowing that i dont care what happens to those two. Blow each other up. All right. Go back to your deep thoughts. Thanks, guys. Wipers, star wars, i dont know what were talking about. A lot of fun things to disagree about. Its kind of nice because weve had a lot of tension about this election, but we are going to give you a chance to vent, to talk about it in a good way. Indeed. A preview of a discussion lets do the giant understatement. The election season was heated and the climate was tense and it still is 10 days later. We are convinced people in our state are different and we can discuss political discussions i would vote against a democrat if i believed in a different candidate. So i dont just necessarily vote democrat because im the Democratic Party<\/a> do. You do that because youre a republican and this is my candidate and im going with him right or wrong . There are going to be people who disagree with me and thats fine. Thats why i love this country. We can disagree with each other. Reporter rather than continue in the tug of war weve got going on, we need to sit down. Lets just talk and come together. The requests i put on social la know. I would like to know why you think things will be better, what it is exactly and let me know, but what i asked is that do it without insulting the other party, whichever side youre on. Do it without an insult or name calling and i have to say i lost a friend. We are a visibly divided nation and a fear of people and their response into all this, and their beatings of people for just because i voted somebody. Thats what scares me. I am happy that i was able to do this and listen and i believe that you cant necessarily change anybody in one conversation and i wouldnt be out here trying to change your opinion, but im glad that we can try to Work Together<\/a> on our opinions. Isnt that refreshing . Its called lets just talk. Kyle clark joins us now. Hundreds of people talk. Its astonishing. When we first put in idea out there, were like were either going to get two people or 200 and we got a bit more than 200. People who just want to understand where somebody on thother side of the aisle is cofrom on this election and our goal is to show people who are strangers talking with the thought that if two strangers disagree can sit down and talk, you cant call your uncle . You cant call your mom . Like have that conversation with that friend that theres connect them. So weve got a great group of people at 6 00 today for an hour long presentation in which were just talking. Is this meant to be for the person who doesnt want to take the option of avoiding the political discussion at thanksgiving . Maybe they get of this . I would hope so, some model conversation and ways to find consensus. One thing we found in our one on one conversations is so many voters assumed the worst of people on the other side. They take trump or Hillary Clinton<\/a> and said oh, all those supporters, theyre ke that or they support that and what we found and the coloradans weve talked to isthey said i voted for Hillary Clinton<\/a>, but i different like this, this, or this or . G to one person versus one person and its a lot more complicated. Thats 6 00 tonight on 9news, second half hour streaming live on 9news. Com. If you have them all . Mholdi hands inthe end, i want a picture of your sweater. We could all use a little y therapafter that election, thanks. Farewell to csus Hughes Stadium<\/a>.
