The forecasts calling for a very mild weekend are beginning to bear out with one record high set today and another possible tomorrow.

At 1:13pm this afternoon, as measured at Denver International Airport, the mercury climbed to 80 degrees. This bests the previous record high for November 6 of 79 degrees set in 1934. This also is the second warmest November temperature ever recorded (81 degrees on November 17, 2017).

Here in Thornton, we stayed a bit cooler, as usual, with our high topping out at 78 degrees.

Tomorrow’s forecast calls for similar mercury readings to today. The record high for November 7 is 78 degrees, set in 1999 so it is quite possible that mark will be tied or broken.
