From record heat to record cold.  As measured at Denver International Airport, the temperature in the Mile High City dropped to 47 degrees at 5:17am.  This tied the record low temperature for the date last set in 1960.

It was just a few days ago that Denver tied a record high temperature on August 15.  Ironically, that record was previously hit in 1960 as well.

Here in Thornton we managed to stay a bit warmer with a low of 49.7 degrees.  This was our coldest temperature reading since May 31 (49.4 degrees).
