DENVER — Denver did it again! Denver International Airport hit a record high of 87-degrees, smashing the previous record of 75 degrees, set in 2012. The city also set a new all-time record for the month of March at 86-degrees. Today was the fifth record breaking day of the month so far.
Gusty winds, hot temperatures and low humidity values will lead to high fire danger in south central Colorado again on Thursday. A Red Flag Warning are posted for much of that area.
Temperatures will cool a bit on Thursday as a cold front moves into the state bringing a slight chance of showers, mainly to the mountains. Highs will still stay in the upper 70s to low 80s, with some gusty winds around the Denver metro. Look for a few sprinkles around the Denver metro and Interstate 25 corridor Thursday evening.
Cooler air will settle in behind the front on Friday. High temperatures will only climb into the mid to upper 50s. It seems chilly compared to what we've seen, but it's very seasonal for late March. Enjoy the brief break from the heat while it's here. Warmer air and possibly more record-breaking heat return just in time for the weekend.
