At 3:44pm today, the temperature at Denver International Airport reached 84 degrees.  This tied the record high temperature for October 18th set in 2003 and 1958.  The average temperature for this date is 68 degrees so we exceeded that by a large margin. 

From record setting cold last week to record setting warmth this week – you have to love Colorado weather! 

Was it really a record though?  Examiner.com investigates: Do Denver weather and climate records have an asterisk attached?

Here in Thornton we were actually a touch warmer reaching 85.9 degrees.  We have one more day of above normal temperatures ahead on Monday before we see a change that will bring cooler temps and possibly rain and snow.
