For the first time this fall, the Front Range woke up this morning to freezing temperatures. It was cold enough in Denver to break a record.
The combination of the calming winds and clearing skies made for a unseasonably cold morning throughout Colorado today.
9NEWS Meteorologist Becky Ditchfield says Denver had its first official freeze of the season: The temperature at Denver International Airport dipped to 27 degrees just before 5 a.m. This was low enough to set a new record low for Oct. 2. The old record low had been 30 degrees set in 1999.
Frost was reported in many metro neighborhoods.
Temperatures are expected to rebound into the 60s during the day today in the metro area.
The mountains will be about 10 to 20 degrees colder, with temperatures in many mountain communities dropping into the teens, which is unusual even for the mountains in early October.
