Cold Thursday In Denver

Posted by: DenverMark, 7. tammikuuta 2010 klo 11:37 (GMT)

Thursday was a very cold day in the Denver metro area, but morning lows varied considerably due to calm conditions and the urban heat island. At Denver International Airport, the low plunged to 16 below zero, only 2 degrees shy of the record of -18 set in 1913. Here in Thornton, we dropped to 10 below. At the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the low was 2 below. In downtown Denver at 21st and Broadway, the air quality monitor had a low of 2 above. Afternoon highs around town were mostly in the mid teens.

Tonight will be cold again, with lows mostly below zero except maybe in downtown Denver. By Friday afternoon, the downslope "chinook" winds will return, raising temperatures to the 30 to 35 degree range. Highs over the weekend should reach into the 40s.

Your weather amazes me with the differences daily in temps Mark. I think if I had to live north of the Mason Dixon, Colorado may would be my choice. Beautiful scenery up there! Hope tomorrow brings you back to moderate. Member Since: 18.09.2005 Posts: 66 Comments: 13872

The forecast for Sun (around 50) sounds like a heatwave at the moment, doesn't it? I'm looking forward to it. Nadine Goerlitzer, Denver

Good Evening Mark. All winter I've been blaming the cold weather on Uncle Mush. I think it's time to start blaming you. Please keep the Colorado lows in Colorado. Have a great evening Member Since: 18.08.2006 Posts: 2301 Comments: 7012
