DENVER (AP) -- The hot weather continues along Colorado's Front Range after the hottest August in Denver's history.

The National Weather Service said Thursday that August had an average temperature of 77 degrees, beating the previous record of 76.8 set in 1937. The temperature was in the 90s on 22 days during the month, tying the amount seen in Augusts in 1995 and 1960.

In Colorado's mountains, meanwhile, truckers are being reminded to get ready for snow. From Thursday through the end of May, commercial vehicles on Interstate 70 between Dotsero and Morrison are required to carry chains in their vehicles in case of snow.
