Not quite as hot across the Denver metro area to end the weekTemperatures will remain about 10 to 12 degrees above normal through the weekend. We'll see mid- to upper 80s from Saturday through Monday. Another dry cold front will race across the state on Monday. We'll see low to mid-80s on Monday and 70s on Tuesday.
