Temperatures in Denver and across the Centennial State have been higher than normal for the past few days and it won’t be cooling down anytime soon, officials say.

The Mile High City reached 93 degrees on Saturday, which is 11 degrees higher than the normal high, said Frank Cooper, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Boulder.

“Temperatures are going to stay well above normal for at least the next week,” he said.

The western part of the state such as Grand Junction is forecasted to have scorching temperatures until Wednesday as highs are projected into the mid-100’s.

An excessive heat advisory will go into effect on Monday at noon and still remain through Friday, Cooper said.

Despite the excessive heat and extreme drought conditions in parts of the state, there are currently no red flag warnings in effect. However, the chances of wildfire are still high.

“Anything could spark a fire under these conditions, so it’s really important for people to be vigilant if they are camping or anything like that,” Cooper said.

In the metro area, temperatures are forecasted to remain in the mid to high-90’s until Thursday, when a small front will move into the central and northeastern part of the state that could bring rain and thunderstorms.

Although there will be a brief two day cool down toward the latter part of the week, temperatures are expected to rise into the 90’s next Saturday.

Due to the high temperatures, weather officials are also reminding people to not leave children or pets in the car, even if it’s for a few minutes.

“It won’t take any time at all for it to become a problem and turn into a tragic situation,” Cooper said.
