Denver’s three-day stint in the triple digits is about to end Friday. A slight cool front will dip temperatures and bring some scattered afternoon storms.
The past three days were rare ones, as itap a bit uncommon that the Mile High City reaches the century mark. The three straight record-high daily temperatures have already tied 2021 for the seventh most 100 degree-days in city history. A high of 105 is the highest temperature ever recorded in Denver, which last happened June 28, 2018. We hit 101 Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, Denver will hit 94 degrees Friday under mostly sunny skies. There’s a 20% chance of storms between 4 p.m. and midnight as isolated showers are expected to develop over the high country, with some making their way onto the plains. Brief heavy rain, winds and hail are possible in these storms. The mercury will drop to 63 degrees overnight.
