After a long stretch of largely below normal temperatures, spring popped up in a big way today delivering summer-like temperatures that broke records.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City’s temperature topped out at 85 degrees. This easily bested the previous record high for the date of 80 degrees last set in 1982.

Here in Thornton, we topped Denver’s mark with a high of 86.9 degrees.

More heat is on tap as we are likely to set a record high tomorrow as well.
