DENVER — Denver just saw back-to-back 102 degree days on Sunday and Monday. Not only did Denver break the daily record of 100-degrees on Monday, it was also the city's fifth triple-digit day of the year so far. The most triple-digit days ever recorded in Denver was back in 2012 when we saw 13 days at or above 100 degrees.

We are in for a big change within the next 24 hours. A cold front pulled into the Front Range, bringing some brief relief from the heat on Tuesday, knocking temperatures down about 20 degrees from Monday. There could be a few isolated afternoon showers or thunderstorms, but most places will stay dry.

By Wednesday, temperatures will remain a bit cooler than average, with highs mainly in the mid to upper 80s. Dry weather will continue for most areas, and the warming trend is expected to return later in the week as high pressure strengthens again.

It looks like we'll get back to near 100 degrees starting Friday and the heat will continue to build through the weekend and into next week.
