DENVER — A dangerous heat wave is making its move into Colorado, starting tonight and continuing through the weekend. Temperatures will skyrocket into record-setting territory.
A Heat Advisory is in effect for the Denver metro area starting Friday at 10 a.m. It'll last through Sunday at 8 p.m. because of temperatures hoovering in the upper-90s and lower-100s.
Daytime highs are set to soar into the triple digits Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. This is an unprecedented stretch of 100+ degree days in Denver. On average, the city sees one 100-degree day each year.
Along with the scorching hot temperatures, it'll be mostly sunny and very dry. High fire danger will also be a concern over the weekend.
It doesn't look like we'll get any relief from the heat until next Tuesday and Wednesday. That's when temperatures "dip" into the upper-80s and lower-90s. It'll be the city's next best chance of a few thunderstorms. We will desperately need the rain after this scorching hot heat wave.
