We figured we would tie or just break the high temperature record today and in fact we pretty much crushed it. If you liked the warmth, don’t get too excited though as a big change is on the way.
The Mile High City’s official high temperature, as measured at Denver International Airport, topped out at 84 degrees today at 3:52pm. This easily bested the previous record for the date of 80 degrees set in 2014, 2007 and 1959. Average for today’s date is 62 degrees.
Here in Thornton, we were just a bit warmer with a high of 85 degrees coming at 3:07pm.

That warmth though will soon be nothing but a memory as much colder weather is on the way tomorrow. The high temp tomorrow will likely come at midnight and from there it will downhill. By tomorrow evening the mercury readings will be at or even below 40 degrees.
Snow, unfortunately, will not amount to much from this system. Current indications point to maybe some rain by late morning tomorrow followed by some snow in the afternoon and evening. Accumulations will likely be less than half an inch.
