Denver's 54° temperature drop in 38 hours is the 2nd-biggest summer temperature swing on record. Only one bigger: a 93° to 38° swing June 10-12, 2008! #COwx

Fire Weather Warning for the mountains today, 30-40 mph gusts. Higher end fire danger day for the high country. Warning runs noon-7p today. #COwx
Denver just tied a record low…38 hours after setting a record high! 2:30p Monday: 102° (new record) 4:30a this morning: 48° (ties daily record) 54° swing! #COwx
48° this morning at DIA = coolest morning since June 16 (50 days ago)! Enjoy it while it lasts! #COwx
🌤️ Warmer and still smoky/hazy today, with a high back in the upper 80s in Denver (close to average for early August). Fire Weather Warnings for the foothills/mountains, gusts 25-30 mph there. 🌡️ Even hotter tomorrow (mid-90s), and back near 100° Friday-Monday. Yay. #COwx
Yes it's hot and dry for the next few days, but relief is on the way. Next week looks active. Does that mean your house will receive non-stop drenching rain? No. Does that mean rain/storm chances will be higher than usual next week? Likely yes. #COwx

Yuck. Metro area air quality is currently moderate but bordering on unhealthy (mostly 90-100). Will probably improve a tad tomorrow, more later this week. #COwx
All of Colorado's 64 counties are under an Air Quality Alert through at least 9a tomorrow. Been a while since that's happened. Wildfire smoke from Utah + Pacific Northwest is gonna make it rough out there today + tomorrow. #COwx
If anyone asks me why Denver is the awesomest, coolest, raddest weather city in the world, it's because of stuff like this

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
Denver *nearly* broke a record high and broke a record low 14 hours apart. Low of 52° this AM nearly tied the record (50°), after we broke the daily record (102°) yesterday afternoon. #COwx

Lots of smoke from both the Widemouth 2 (Utah) and Pacific Northwest this morning. Air quality is moderate for now, and it’ll probably get worse this afternoon. #COwx
5 people required medical attention, one sent to the hospital last night due to severe turbulence from flights that were diverted from Denver to Colorado Springs:

Low of 52° this morning = Denver’s coolest morning since June 20 (45 days) Yes it’s smoky, yes it’s not gonna last long…but a moment of appreciation please #COwx
🌫️ Cooler but smoky: Today will be our coolest day since late June, but it'll be smoky due to fires burning in Utah and the Pacific Northwest. Highs only around 80°. Cloudy this morning with more sun this afternoon. 🌡️ Warming back up (mid-80s) tomorrow, 90s Thursday. #COwx
Ground stop at DIA until 7:30 thanks to gusty 30-40 mph winds behind the front. Peak gust of 46 mph at DIA so far today. Not gonna be a fun night flying in/out of DIA. #COwx
5:33p: A few thundershowers popping up around the metro area along the front...mostly lightning/wind and brief showers. #COwx
First time since 2012 that Denver's had back-to-back days at 102°+. #COwx
4:39p: Incoming! Temps about to drop 10-15°, winds will kick, low-level smoke will pick up also.
Fort Collins dropped 13° in 10 minutes behind the cold front (97° to 84°). Arriving within the hour, Denver! #COwx
It's official: Denver hits 101° (DIA, downtown, Central Park), breaking the old record of 100°. 🌡️ 5th day this summer at 100°+, now tied for 4th-most on record (2022, 2021, 1990, 1989) 🌡️ 17th back-to-back 100°+ on record 🌡️ Also Denver's 12th record daily high in 2026 #COwx
Wow- Pueblo just set its all-time hottest August temperature on record. 107° at the Pueblo Airport so far. That's also just two degrees shy of the all-time hottest temp there. #COwx
Cold front will move through the Denver metro between 4-6p with 30-40 mph winds, a push of wildfire smoke, and a notable temp drop #COwx
100° at Central Park, 101° downtown. No official word if DIA has hit 100° yet. #COwx
