    Boulder Braces for Fire Weather While Farmers Face Drought Challenges

    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, March 12th, 2026. We're starting the day with some important weather news that affects everyone in our community. Xcel Energy is warning of potential power outages as critical fire weather moves across Colorado's Front Range through the end of the week. We're looking at a stretch of warm, dry, and windy conditions that will significantly increase wildfire risk, so please stay alert and have your emergency plans ready. On the agricultural front, Boulder County farmers are bracing for a challenging growing season. After experiencing the warmest winter on record and the second-driest conditions in Colorado, local growers are preparing to work harder for fewer crops this year. Many are expecting reduced yields at farmers markets and local food sources, so it's a good time to support our regional agriculture however you can. In higher education news, the University of Colorado system continues to expand its campus presence across the state. CU Anschutz has officially acquired the Benson Hotel and Faculty Club, a landmark property adjacent to campus that's been an important gathering place for faculty, staff, and partners. Meanwhile, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs will be welcoming the Air Force ROTC program starting this fall, bringing new opportunities to students while strengthening military partnerships in our region. CU Boulder is celebrating its 150th anniversary with the creation of the Sesquicentennial Scholars program. This initiative supports exceptional undergraduate student leaders who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential, honoring our institution's rich history and future promise. If you're looking for things to do this evening, Boulder has plenty of options. The Boulder Salsa Social is happening at Avalon Ballroom from six thirty to eleven with Rueda lessons kicking off at six thirty. If you prefer West Coast Swing, Argentine Tango, or Salsa and Bachata, those lessons and socials are also happening tonight at Avalon starting at seven thirty. For music lovers, Thompson Jazz Studies Combos perform at seven thirty at CU's College of Music, and the Longmont Museum is presenting The Birth of American Classical Music from seven to nine this evening. The Denver area also has concerts and entertainment happening all night, including performances by established acts downtown if you're willing to venture slightly outside Boulder proper. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, March 9. Boulderites, kick off your week with some electrifying local buzz. Our Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team wrapped up the regular season with a gritty fight against No. 2 Arizona right here at the CU Events Center, falling 89-79 in a thriller that saw freshman star Isaiah Johnson drop a career-high 28 points, shattering the school's freshman scoring record. Now seeded No. 11 in the Big 12 Tournament, the Buffs face Oklahoma State tomorrow in the first round, their only shot at an NCAA bid hanging on this underdog run led by Johnson's heroics. Fans, rally at watch parties around Pearl Street to cheer them through what could be a season-defining miracle. Just minutes away in Superior, tonight's Town Council meeting at 6 p.m. at Town Hall on Coal Creek Drive dives into community priorities, fresh off last week's talks on affordable housing near the RTD bus rapid transit site and a fun chainsaw wood carving event tied to the Mural Festival. Head over to weigh in on shaping Superior's future, or catch the Open Mic Night tomorrow at the Superior Community Center for local talent shining bright. Over in Longmont, city leaders preview big moves tomorrow like annexing marijuana retail spots in Boulder County enclaves and unveiling the 2025 Sustainability Report, pushing greener living that hits home with water-wise Garden in a Box kits selling fast through Resource Central. Test a free all-electric induction cooktop at the Longmont Service Center, courtesy of Boulder County's lending program, and swap those gas stoves for cleaner cooking that slashes your energy bills. Music lovers, the Longmont Symphony Orchestra teams up with the museum Thursday for American classics from Dvorak to Copland at 7 p.m., tickets flying at longmontmuseum.org. Or unwind at Art and Sip watercolor classes same night, painting spring veggies at 4 or 6:30 p.m. Creatives, Boulder's Fireside Ink nonprofit just launched IGNITE, their first playwriting festival for Colorado scribes, with submissions open till March 16 and winners getting staged readings May 9 at Junkyard Social Club, backed by the Boulder Arts Commission to fuel our theater scene ahead of Sundance's 2027 arrival. Catch live tunes tonight like Many Mountain's acoustic rock at 6 p.m. on Walnut Street or She's Green with Tiny Tomboy at eTown Hall. As spring nears, Longmont reminds us to keep creeks pristine, ditching harsh detergents and picking up pet waste to protect our waterways.

    Boulder Local Frequency: March Eighth - Community Remembrance and Spring Entertainment

    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, March eighth. We start this morning with big news from the University of Colorado as the campus community gathered yesterday to remember quarterback Dominiq Ponder. The twenty-three-year-old Buffs player passed away last weekend in a car crash, and friends and family came together in Boulder to celebrate his life and legacy. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. On the athletics front, it was a tough night for Colorado football as the Buffs faced the Arizona Wildcats in a regular season finale that didn't go their way. Arizona dominated the game with a final score of eighty-two to sixty-seven, capping off an impressive Big Twelve campaign. The Wildcats, led by their talented trio of Koa Peat, Brayden Burries, and Jaden Bradley, controlled the game from start to finish. Peat had a particularly strong performance with eighteen points and nine rebounds. For Colorado, Isaiah Johnson led the charge with seventeen points, but the Buffs struggled to find consistent scoring against Arizona's defensive intensity. The loss drops Colorado to seventeen wins and fourteen losses overall. Arizona improves to an impressive twenty-nine and two, cementing their status as one of the top teams in college basketball this season. Looking ahead for your week, if you're in the mood for some live entertainment, Boulder has quite a bit happening. Today at eTown Hall, you can catch Nick Forster performing. If you're looking ahead to next weekend, the Last Dinosaurs are coming to town on March fourteenth for an all ages show, and Nimino will also be performing that same day. Both shows welcome attendees under sixteen with an adult, so it's a great opportunity to get the whole family out for some live music. Spring is in the air here in Boulder, and with it comes plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy what our community has to offer. Whether you're interested in supporting local music venues, catching up with friends, or just enjoying the season, there's something for everyone this week. Stay tuned to Boulder Local Frequency for updates on everything happening in our community. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Early Spring Layering: A Perfect Boulder Day to Get Outside and Explore

    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for today. Waking up along the Front Range, expect a classic early spring mix: cool morning temps climbing into the mild range by afternoon, with a light breeze and a decent chance of sunshine breaking through. It is a good day to layer up, get that first coffee, and plan some time outside. If you want to ease into the day from indoors, there is even a live stream of the Flatirons and Indian Peaks running this morning from just over in Louisville, so you can watch the light change on the rocks before you head out yourself. Out on the trails, Chautauqua, Mount Sanitas, and the Boulder Creek Path will be busy, so consider heading a bit farther afield to quieter spots on the edge of town or starting earlier to beat the crowds. Recent thawing and refreezing means you may hit some mud and lingering icy patches at higher elevations, so good boots or traction are a smart call. As always, keep dogs leashed where required and bring extra water; the dry air can sneak up on you even on cooler days. In town, Pearl Street will be lively by late morning, with buskers, coffee shop patios, and plenty of brunch traffic. Local cafes are rolling out seasonal menus, so it is a nice moment to support independent spots from north Boulder down to South Pearl and Table Mesa. If you are looking for something indoors, check listings at the Boulder Theater and Fox Theatre for tonight’s shows, along with smaller sets at breweries and taprooms around town; weekend evenings usually feature a good mix of local bands and touring acts. Families might look to library events, story times, or kids craft sessions, and the museum and science exhibits are solid options if the wind picks up later in the day. For those training for spring races, the Boulder Reservoir and the paths along the Diagonal offer room to run or ride, though it is wise to check for any event closures or construction before you go. As always, keep an eye on city and county updates for any late-breaking weather advisories, trail closures, or road work that could affect your plans today. This has been Boulder Local Frequency.

    Boulder Wildfire Alert: New Blaze in Heil Valley, Rebate Program Opens Early

    Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, March 5th. Folks, were kicking off today with some critical wildfire updates that hit close to home after yesterdays action in our backyard. A wildland fire sparked up in the Heil Valley Ranch Open Space between Boulder and Lyons, starting as a 30 by 30 foot blaze around 3:45 p.m. By late afternoon, it had grown to about seven acres, smoldering in the grass and understory within the old Calwood Fire scar from 2020. The good news? Fire crews jumped on it fast, and the ranch is temporarily closed to keep everyone safe, but no structures are threatened and its the second such incident in the county this week. This is a stark reminder of our dry winter and elevated risks, so if youre planning hikes there, check Boulder County Sheriffs updates before heading out.[1] Speaking of staying ahead of flames, Boulders got your back with timely help. Wildfire Partners just opened their 2026 mitigation rebate program two months early, thanks to this unusually warm, dry season. Any Boulder County homeowner or renter can snag up to 500 bucks for smart moves like decluttering under decks to stop embers, swapping the first five feet around your house for noncombustible landscaping, junking those flammable junipers, or screening vents with fine mesh. Applications are live now through October 8th at wildfirepartners.org/rebate, and past years saw over 1,500 folks claim nearly 673,000 total. Commissioner Marta Loachamin nailed it: proactive steps now protect our neighborhoods for real. Grab that rebate and harden your home before summer sneaks up.[2] Shifting gears to brighter vibes, music lovers rejoice. Tonight at Ned General in Nederland, catch Kimmerjae Macarus and Morgan McHugh lighting up the stage in a Music of the Mountains double feature. These local talents are bringing fresh sounds to the foothills, perfect for shaking off the fire news with some live energy. Doors open early, so swing by for drinks, dancing, and that unbeatable mountain community spirit.[3] And keep an eye on tomorrows big hearing: Suncor Energy versus Boulder County kicks off at noon, a pivotal clash over oil and gas ops that could shape our energy future and local lands. Tune in live for the details.[4] Meanwhile, those iconic Flatirons are stunning under clear skies today, as captured from Louisville views crisp enough to inspire a quick trail run or picnic at one of our open spaces, just steer clear of Heil Valley for now.[5] This has been Boulder Local Frequency.

This isnt just practice; its the foundation for a Boulder squad ready to rumble, impacting everything from local tailgates to national hype as media training ramps up Monday. Shifting gears to your day ahead, that overcast sky is clearing just in time for daylight savings this weekend, so lace up for Pearl Street hikes or a quick Chautauqua trail run the fresh mountain air will recharge you after winters chill.
