September 29th 2024.
According to the National Weather Service, this Sunday is shaping up to be a scorching one for the cities of Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. In fact, it may even break some records with temperatures expected to reach a sweltering 90 degrees or higher. To put it in perspective, Denver's forecasted high of 91 degrees is just one degree shy of the record set on September 29th, which was a scorching 92 degrees.
But Denver isn't the only city in the area that will be feeling the heat. Fort Collins is expected to surpass its current daily record of 86 degrees with a forecast of 90 degrees. And Boulder is not far behind, with a projected high of 89 degrees that could potentially tie its previous record.
This isn't the first time Denver has experienced record-breaking temperatures recently. Just last week, on Thursday, the mercury rose to a scorching 91 degrees, breaking a 14-year high. And Denver wasn't alone in this heatwave - both Pueblo and Colorado Springs also tied their daily records on that same day.
But this week, the temperatures will be fluctuating quite a bit. Tuesday will bring highs in the high 70s, a welcome relief after the intense heat. But don't get too comfortable, as Thursday will bring us right back to the low 90s.
And it's not just the northern part of the state that will be feeling the heat. Southern Colorado will also see high temperatures, with La Junta expected to reach a sizzling 95 degrees on Monday. Lamar and Pueblo won't be far behind, with forecasts of 94 and 93 degrees, respectively.
So if you're planning on spending any time outdoors this Sunday, be sure to stay hydrated and seek shade whenever possible. And maybe hold off on those fall sweaters for a little while longer - it looks like the summer heat isn't done with us yet.
