Yesterday’s summertime heat will make way for a cool down this weekend

DENVER — FORECAST BY: Ed Greene

TODAY AT A GLANCE: Even with mostly cloudy skies and scattered late day showers and storms, Denver’s high on Wednesday still raced to 97 degrees. 

However, this week’s heat wave will not only be less severe than last week’s 100-degree readings, but shorter as well with only these past two days reaching the 90s as now temperatures will begin to cool.
