DENVER (KDVR) -- Even with record heat waves over the summer, Denver weather temperatures have yet to hit 100 degrees, and it's likely it won't happen at all this year.The National Weather Service started tracking temperatures in Denver in 1872, and since then, temperatures have only reached 100 degrees in September twice. What’s the hottest temperature recorded in Denver? While Denver did set records for the hottest temperatures multiple times this year, Pinpoint Weather Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser said he doubts temperatures can reach 100 degrees at this point."We're too far past summer heating, the sun angle is low, the days are getting shorter, so it's probably virtually impossible that we would see a 100-degree day," Fraser said.When was the last 100-degree day in Denver?Over 150 years, the NWS has only recorded triple-digit temperatures in Denver 105 times.The last time Denver got to triple-digit heat was about 13 months ago on Aug. 5, 2022, at 101 degrees.When was the l...

A Beverly neighborhood is a little brighter thanks to one family who turned a sidewalk into a community bulletin board this summer, one question at a time.“It’s fun to see that people like to get their hands dirty with chalk,” Charlotte, 11, said.Louisa and Charlotte Soodik, along with their father Nick, drew up the idea at the start of the summer.“We just thought about the idea to write a bunch of chalk questions, and then we just kept doing it, and it was really fun,” Louisa, 8, said.The family said they never expected to get such an overwhelming response from the community.“We could be inside with the windows up, and we would hear people laughing, talking about what to write,” Nick said.The questions are anything from, “Who is your favorite fictional character,” to “Which famous person would you want to get lunch with,” the family said.“We got amazing responses,” Nick said. “I mean, the whole sidewalk was filled with famous people’s names.”In honor of the first week back to schoo...

Vaughn jumped as high as he could and made the catch.After spending most of his first two major-league seasons in the outfield, Vaughn moved to his natural position of first base this year.Vaughn told the Tribune last week he’s continuing to learn every day.“(I’ve been) trying to get better at it since spring training,” he said. “(I’m) working with (infield coach) Eddie (Rodríguez), getting my reps in and picks and footwork around the bag. All sorts of stuff.”Vaughn played 107 games in the outfield, mostly in left, and 15 at first base as a rookie in 2021. Las...

By LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s health episodes show “no evidence” of a stroke or seizure disorder, the Capitol physician said Tuesday, but his statement still left questions about the apparent freeze-ups that have drawn concerns about the 81-year-old’s situation.McConnell returned to work at the Capitol after the summer recess, and his office released a letter from attending physician Brian P.

He made only passing reference to the incident during a speech in the chamber, his voice somewhat muffled.“One particular moment of my time back home has received its f...
