Not to be entirely outdone by yesterday’s record-setting temperature, the Mile High City tied the record high temperature for today’s date, August 18.

At 3:08 p.m. the mercury climbed to 98 degrees.  The last time the date saw readings that high was in 2011.

Here in Thornton we were a bit cooler – but not by much.  Our temperature topped out at 95 degrees at 3:19 p.m.  This mirrored our high temperature yesterday.

We expect at least a couple more days of these well-above normal temperatures as we head into the workweek.  After that we should start to cool down a bit.  Click here to view the extended forecast.
