Across the state, some places did creep up into the triple digits. Overnight, a cool front came through, lowering temps a bit for today, but it\u2019s still summertime. Denver had hit 98 a couple times in July, and its record for the 16th<\/sup> was a hundred. By this time last year, the Denver area had seen 51 days in the 90\u2019s\u2014 this year so far there\u2019ve only been 21 of those days\u2026All that spring rain actually seems to have kept things a bit cooler across the state so far in 2023. The forecasters say northeastern Colorado should get a bit of a break today after a lot of communities were in triple-figures Wednesday, with highs down a bit to the 80\u2019s to low 90\u2019s. The southeastern plains should also be in the low 90\u2019s, but up in the mountains it\u2019ll be relatively hot for them today, with highs in the 80\u2019s and approaching 90. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wednesday was officially the hottest day of the year so far.
