We knew the weekend was going to be a scorcher and sure enough, it has been thus far.
Today, the high temperature in Denver as measured at Denver International Airport topped out at 95 degrees at 4:00pm. This tied the record high temperature for June 9 last set in 2012.
Here in Thornton we matched that number with a 95 degree high of our own as well.
This was the second record high temperature reading of the past week as on Tuesday we tied the record high for June 5.
More heat is expected on Sunday with highs potentially coming in a couple of degrees warmer than today. We then will see a weak cold front cool things down slightly Monday and Tuesday but then the heat returns for the latter half of the workweek. See our extended forecast for details.
