Summer-like conditions took hold today and the mercury climbed to record-setting territory.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the high temperature in the Mile High City topped out at 90 degrees today. This ties the record high for May 11 set in 1961.

The reading was the first 90 degree reading of the season and the fifth earliest we have hit that mark. On average, Denver sees its first 90 degree reading on June 10.

Here in Thornton, we were just a little cooler with a high of 89 degrees.
