The slow, eastward progression of the ridge has also allowed for temperatures to continue to creep up to record breaking heat with no precipitation in sight. <\/p>\n<p>Several stations broke their record high temperatures yesterday. Denver saw a high of 96, breaking the previous record of 94 set in 1994. It&rsquo;s often harder for Denver to see record heat due to the official observation location at DIA, which tends to be a few degrees cooler than within the city itself &ndash; making this new record that much more impressive!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet tw-align-center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A new daily record high in Denver!
