Denver Weather: Record Heatwave Kicks Off Weekend
DENVER(CBS)- Our first weekend of November started out more like June than a month in fall! Denver's high for Saturday shot up to 80 degrees. That is enough to break the daily high which was set back in 1934!
Saturday's 80 degrees is also the second warmest November temperature in recorded history for the Mile High City! The warmest November day in recorded history happened just four years ago, on Nov. 27, 2017.
This temperature is extremely warm for this time of year where the normal high is in the upper 50s! The warm weekend is being caused by a large ridge of high pressure locked over the southern Rockies. Temperatures will again be flirting with record highs on Sunday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s around the Denver Metro area. Denver's record high for Sunday is 78 degrees set in 1999.
Look for cooler weather to push in for the week ahead.
