For the second time this month, the Mile High City broke a record high temperature.  The new mark beats a reading that had stood for 50 years.

At 3:23pm today the mercury at Denver International Airport topped out at 83 degrees.  This easily bests the previous record for this date of 80 degrees last hit in 1966.

Here in Thornton we were just a notch cooler with a high of 82 degrees.

This is the second time this month Denver set a record high. The first came on October 15 with a reading of 85 degrees that beat the previous mark of 83 degrees.

We may not be done setting records either.  The record high for tomorrow is 80 degrees as well, set in 1994 and years prior.  Right now the forecast calls for us to reach that same temperature although cloud cover may prevent that from happening.
