Cooler temps in Thornton Thursday but the wind and fire danger continue
Thursday, May 12th, 2022 4:59am MDTFollowing yesterday’s record-tying heat, a cold front brings cooler temperatures today. We will, however, continue with the wind and as a result, fire danger remains high.
We start off with a few clouds but soon those will be gone and sunny skies will be the rule for most of the day. High temperatures will top out in the low to mid-70s.
Downslope winds will be increasing by mid-morning, then become quite breezy with gusts from 30 to 40mph being possible for much of the day. Once again, fire danger remains very high and a Red Flag Warning is in effect.
Tonight, winds will ease in the evening, becoming calm by midnight. Overnight, skies will be mostly clear and lows will dip to around 40 degrees.
