TODAY'S WEATHER
It's gonna be 68 degrees today in Denver. That's February. I don't know what to tell you. It's gonna be cloudy though, which makes sense, because the sun saw 68 degrees in February and said you know what, I'm not even gonna take credit for this one. Winds up to 15 miles per hour, which is just enough to make you think something's about to happen, and then nothing happens.
High 68°F / Low 41°F · Overcast
