Our unseasonably warm and dry weather of recent months has continued right into October and culminated with a record high for the date.

At Denver International Airport, where the Mile High City’s official measurements are taken, the high temperature today topped out at 85 degrees.  That bests the previous record high for the date of 83 degrees set in 2014.

Here in Thornton, we came close to Denver’s mark with our high of 83.5 degrees coming at 1:35pm.

Looking ahead, we’ll see similar high temperature readings tomorrow.  We will then start to cool down as a system moves through from the Pacific Northwest.  Get the forecast here.
