\"Record<\/a>A double shot of high temperature records for the Mile High City today.<\/p>\n

As measured at Denver International Airport, Denver saw a high today of 81 degrees at 12:56pm.\u00a0 This easily bested the record high temperature for November 27 of 74 degrees set in 1950 and 1903.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the 81 degree reading is the warmest reading ever seen in the month of November. The old record was 80 degrees on the 8th of 2006 & the 16th of 2016.<\/p>\n

Of course the key to all of the above is the \u201cas measured at Denver International Airport.\u201d\u00a0 Since moving Denver\u2019s official weather station to the airport far east of its historical locations, we have seen similar occurrences of temperature extremes that don\u2019t mate up with stations close to the city.<\/p>\n

Today for example, the station at the Denver City Park recorded a high of 78 degrees.\u00a0 Still a record but a far cry from what the airport reported.\u00a0 As a result, these new records really should come with an asterisk.<\/p>\n

Here in Thornton, we saw a high of 77.5 degrees at 1:24pm.<\/p>\n

Pretty big changes are on the way tonight when a cold front arrives. That will send temperatures down and bring us a chance for snow overnight. Details in the extended forecast here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
