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.

Pinpoint Weather 7-day forecast for Denver on July 11

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.

Where do Packers stand in NFC playoff picture after loss in Denver?

Where do Packers stand in NFC playoff picture after loss in Denver?

The Green Bay Packers (9-4-1) dropped from first to second in the NFC North and from the second seed to the seventh seed in the NFC after losing to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Significant injuries suffered against the Broncos will mean lasting implications are felt past Sunday. The Packers are also now a long shot to catch the Los Angeles Rams for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and it’ll take a win next Saturday night in Chicago to retake control in the NFC North.

But the Packers are still in a good spot in terms of making the postseason field, especially after the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys all lost on Sunday.

NFC playoff picture after Week 15

Los Angeles Rams (11-3, 6-3 vs. NFC)
Chicago Bears (10-4, 6-3 vs. NFC)
Philadelphia Eagles (9-5, 7-3 vs. NFC)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-7, 5-5 vs. NFC)
Seattle Seahawks (11-3, 6-3 vs. NFC)
San Francisco 49ers (10-4, 8-2 vs. NFC)
Green Bay Packers (9-4-1, 7-2-1 vs. NFC)

Others: Lions (8-6), Panthers (7-7), Cowboys (6-7-1)

According to The Athletic’s NFL playoff simulator, the Packers have a 92 percent chance of making the postseason with three weeks to go. They become all but guaranteed of a playoff spot if they can beat the Bears in Chicago in Week 16. In fact, just one win over the final three weeks could be enough for the Packers to get in.

The NFC North winner looks like a coinflip. The Athletic’s model gives the Packers a 48 percent chance of winning the division right now, and it would go up to 82 percent with a win over the Bears on Saturday. Chicago took down the Cleveland Browns with ease in bitter cold temps at Soldier Field on Sunday.

The Athletic’s model also gives the Packers a 98 percent chance of being the No. 2 seed if Matt LaFleur’s team can win out. That will be much easier said than done without Micah Parsons (and potentially Christian Watson) down the stretch.

Two very possibilities for the Packers: Win the NFC North and host the Bears in the NFC Wild Card Round, or get in as the No. 7 seed and go to Chicago to play the Bears in the NFC Wild Card Round. A third round of the rivalry is increasingly possible in January.

Packers remaining games

Nothing easy here. The Bears, Ravens and Vikings all won Sunday. The Bears and Ravens won comfortably; the Vikings upset the Cowboys — who desperately needed to win — in Dallas. The Bears and Ravens are both playing to win division titles. The Vikings are a dangerously talented spoiler team, and winning at U.S. Bank Stadium is never easy. The Athletic’s model gives the Packers roughly a 40 percent chance of making the postseason even with an 0-3 finish. The Lions are the biggest threat to pass the Packers in the event they finish 0-3.

It appears the Packers can clinch a playoff spot next week with a win over the Bears and a Steelers win over the Lions.

Packers vs. Broncos Week 15 Game Discussion Thread

It’s time for the AFC’s #1 team to meet the NFC’s #2. Today the Denver Broncos host the Green Bay Packers in a key late-season inter-conference matchup that could have playoff seeding implications for both teams.

In Denver, the Broncos will be trying to hold on to the top spot in the AFC and keep their impressive win streak rolling. Denver has won ten straight games, some of them in fairly ridiculous fashion, but they sit at 11-2, sharing the top record in the NFL with the New England Patriots, who are just behind them in the playoff picture based on conference record.

The Packers, meanwhile, want to hold on to the lead in the NFC North before they have their rematch with the Chicago Bears next Saturday night. Green Bay sits behind only the Los Angeles Rams in the playoff race in the NFC, and they want to return to the Central time zone with that lead intact.
