First, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 85 Low: 59.

Here are the top three stories today in Colorado Springs:

The unexpected discovery led to the bomb squad investigating the incident. It is currently unclear why the explosives were there but the department confirms they were real. (KKTV)
2. A man will make history by pushing a peanut up Pike Peak - with his nose. The man will be using a contraption attached to his nose to perform the nutty task.
