This is how hot it will feel in Denver this weekend
DENVER (KDVR) — Temperatures are inching closer to 100 degrees and will likely hit triple digits this weekend. While it will be hot, the temperature outside won’t feel exactly how it looks on the thermometer.
Due to the potentially record-breaking heat, FOX31 meteorologists have issued Pinpoint Weather Alert Days for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service issued heat advisories for most of the Front Range and recommended people stay inside with air conditioning.
Even though it could reach 100 degrees during the hottest times of the day it won’t feel that way.
How hot will it feel in Denver this weekend?
According to Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels, it feels cooler than the air temperature in Denver because the dry air allows for more evaporation of sweat from your skin, which is a cooling process. The drier the air, the faster the evaporation.
Between 8 a.m. and noon, the temperature will slowly increase from the high 60s in the morning to over 90 degrees by 12 p.m. During this time, NWS said it will feel about 5 degrees cooler than the temperature outside.
Michels said the hottest times of day will be around 1-4 p.m., which is when people should reconsider going outside and rescheduling outdoor activities.
Between 1-4 p.m., the temperature will hit close to 100 degrees. According to NWS, that will really only feel like the mid-90s in Denver.
The heat will “cool off” into the night, with temperatures dropping into the 60s and 50s. It should feel about the same as the thermostat reading if not a few degrees cooler at night.
Michels said it will likely hit 100 degrees at least once this weekend, although it will never feel that hot in the Mile High City.
That said, this level of heat could be deadly without the proper cooling systems, and people should watch out for signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

The University of Denver will close the Ricks Center for Gifted Children next year as enrollment has fallen in recent years, the college announced this week.
The Ricks Center, which serves gifted children as young as 3 years old, will operate for the 2026-27 academic year before closing, according to a letter DU sent parents on Wednesday.
“The University of Denver has made the difficult decision to close the Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the conclusion of the 2026–2027 academic year,” spokesman Jon Stone said in a statement. “This decision reflects long-term operational and financial considerations and is not a reflection of the school’s quality, leadership, or community.”
The center, which is located on DU’s campus, was started in 1984 as the University Center for Gifted Young Children. The program offers classes to students in preschool through eighth grade, according to the website.
The program, along with other public K-12 schools in the state, has experienced declining enrollment in recent years. The center enrolled 142 students for the 2025-26 academic year, which is down from 200 pupils four years ago.
The center will hold a meeting about the pending closure on March 6 for parents.
