Week Starts Hot, But Big Cool Down Possible Friday

By Chris Spears

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver hit 90°F at the airport today making it the 43rd time since June 1 that we've seen temperatures in the 90s.

Denver normally records about 40 to 45 days each summer in the 90s.

Looking ahead the week will start off hot and dry for the most part but with each passing day we'll see a slightly better chance for afternoon showers and storms to pop up.

We're tracking a potential cool down for Friday that could last through most of the upcoming weekend. Right now it looks like temperatures could be anywhere from 10 to 20 degree below normal for this time of the year.
