We officially hit 102 degrees in Denver on Sunday. It was a record breaking day and our fourth triple-digit day of the year so far. Today could be day five! The most triple-digit days ever recorded in Denver was back in 2012 when we saw 13 days at/above 100 degrees.
The clouds that developed overnight are trapping in some of the heat from yesterday. You’ll find temperatures in the 70s this morning for the early commute. We’ll see some gradual clearing and highs near 100 degrees by early afternoon. A few isolated storms are possible this afternoon but there won’t be much moisture.
We are in for a big change within the next 24 hours. A cold front will bring some relief on Tuesday, knocking temperatures down about 15 to 20 degrees. There could be a few scattered afternoon showers or thunderstorms, but most places will stay dry…
