A good bit of cloud cover couldn’t keep the mercury from rising to mid-summer-like levels today.  The hot temperatures in fact tied two records.

Denver’s temperature topped out a 97 degrees as measured at Denver International Airport.  This tied the record high temperature for the date of September 5 set in 1899.

This also tied the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded during the month of September.  The 97 degree mark has been recorded multiple times during the month, always within the first five days.

Here in Thornton the temperature we were actually a bit warmer than DIA, a rarity.  We topped out at 98 degrees (97.6 degrees).

Unfortunately we will see no break in the 90+ degree weather until Monday at the earliest.

The forecast for tomorrow and Saturday current calls for high temperatures of 95 degrees.  Should we hit or exceed those marks, we will tie the record high temperatures for those dates.
