In the wake of yesterday’s snow the Mile High City experienced lingering cold today. The so-called “high” temperature in fact was a record-setter.
The high temperature for Denver today, as measured at Denver International Airport, came in at 13 degrees. That is the coldest high temperature ever recorded on February 20, breaking the old record low maximum of 16 degrees set in 1911.
Here in Thornton, we matched the Mile High City’s high with a 13 degree reading at 3:08pm.
It may be a while before we see any truly warm temperatures. Short range forecasts indicate it could be Monday or Tuesday before mercury readings return to normal. Additionally, long range forecasts currently point to overall colder than normal temps in the 8 to 14 day period.
