Forecasts held true and our unseasonably warm weather pushed the mercury into record-setting territory today.
At 3:24pm the temperature at Denver International Airport reached 82 degrees. This easily bests the record high temperature for the date of 80 degrees set in 2011.
Here in Thornton we were just ever-so-slightly cooler with a high of 81.0 degrees.
This was the second high temperature record set this month. The first came on the 15th.
Today’s high temperature record is likely the first of two in a row. High pressure will continue to dominate and likely bring another record-breaker tomorrow.
