We knew getting our first 90 degree reading of the year was a possibility today and sure enough, we did. Not only that, Denver also set a record high temperature for the date.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the high temperature in the Mile High City hit 92 degrees today. That tops the old record high temperature for May 19 of 90 degrees set in 2009.

Thornton held itself just a bit cooler with a high of 91 degrees.

On average, Denver sees its first 90 degree day on June 10 so we are a few weeks ahead of schedule.
