DENVER — It was a delightful start to October with more seasonal temperatures in the low to mid-70s Tuesday! Look for mostly clear skies overnight with lows in the mid to upper-40s.
Unfortuently, the cool down won't last long! Temperatures will be about 15 degrees warmer on Wednesday, with some record-breaking highs possible for Denver.
We'll see highs in the upper-80s to low-90s on Wednesday, potentially making it the latest 90+ degree day on record in Denver. It would also break the current daily high temperature of 88 degrees, last set in 2005.
With the heat and gusty winds in northern Colorado, high fire danger will become a concern Wednesday afternoon. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Rabbit Ears Pass, North Park and across the northern Colorado plains from 10am to 7pm Wednesday. Wind gusts will top 30mph along with humidity values between 5 and 10 percent.
A cold front will swing in late Wednesday night into Thursday morning, dropping daytime highs by about 10-degrees. Highs will stay in the low to mid-80s Thursday and Friday.
And just like that the heat makes a comeback for the weekend. Temperatures will soar into the upper 80s Saturday in Denver, potentially breaking another heat record. The current record is 86-degrees, last set in 1997.
The low to mid-80s stick around through the middle of next week. So far, it doesn't look like we'll see any major storms or rain for the next seven days.
