Seeing today’s temperature reading makes it hard to believe it is still March. With a high temperature more like we see in early summer, Denver set two records today.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City saw a high of 85 degrees. That easily bested the previous high temperature for March 19 of 81 degrees set in 1907.

Perhaps more notably, this also breaks the all-time March record high temperature of 84 degrees set on March 26, 1971.

Here in Thornton, we were actually a hair warmer with a high of 86 degrees.

Friday looks to offer similar temperatures and Saturday threatens to have our first 90 degree reading of the year – and the earliest 90 degree reading on record.
