Denver’s weather rollercoaster this week took us from cold and snow to unseasonably warm temperatures sure to bring an onset of spring fever. The Mile High City set a record high temperature Friday and may set another Saturday.
As measured at Denver International Airport, today’s office high temperature was 70 degrees. That easily bests the old record for the date of 67 degrees set in 1944. Here in Thornton we were just a bit cooler with a high of 69 degrees,
The mild weather will be sticking around for the rest of the weekend with a forecast high of 70 degrees on Saturday (but with some wind) and 66 degrees on Sunday. The record high for Saturday’s date, February 7, is 71 degrees so we will be coming close to the mark.
