(Benigno Hoyuela/Unsplash) (DENVER, Colo.) Thursday's weather forecast predicts sunny conditions in the Mile High City, with temperatures minimally warmer than Wednesday. The National Weather Service in Boulder predicts Thursday's high temperature will be around 21, with wind chill values dropping as low as -7. Expect calm winds to become east to northeast around 5 p.m.

The temperatures have already risen into the 50s this morning after a cold start due to southerly breezes and warm air advection on the backside of a high-pressure passing system.

The hot December is expected to continue, with temperatures anticipated to be substantially above average today and tomorrow. The upper air pattern is characterized by almost zonal flow throughout the eastern two-thirds of the continental United States, with a deep trough of low pressure ready to drive into the country's western half today.
