Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, March 30.

Start your day with caution, folks, because the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Boulder County and surrounding areas, kicking in at 11 AM and lasting until 8 PM tonight. Expect west winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour in the foothills and down to 30 on the plains, with relative humidity dropping as low as 9 percent.

Its a reminder of how quickly our dry mountain air and gusts can turn a small mishap into a real threat to homes and trails we all love.

Shifting gears to the skies, space weather enthusiasts take note: early this morning, an X1.5 solar flare from Region 4405 triggered an R3 radio blackout, hitting high-frequency communications hard over Southeast Asia and Australia.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, March 29th, 2026.

We're starting this Sunday with some significant community activity happening around Boulder today. Thousands of people from across Colorado are gathering for the third "No Kings" protest, which is drawing crowds to express their concerns about the policies and actions of the second Trump administration. Between three and four thousand protesters are expected to participate in marches, speeches, and food drives in both Longmont and Boulder, so if you're heading out, you may want to plan your route accordingly.

On a more spiritual note, local congregations are coming together this morning for a Palm Sunday celebration called "Unified in Holy Joyful Disruption." That event is happening at nine thirty this morning on Pine Street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, and it sounds like a meaningful way for the community to observe this important religious holiday together.

We also want to acknowledge a significant moment for Boulder's cycling community. On Friday, a Boulder County court handed down an eighteen year prison sentence to Dante Johnson for the hit and run death of cyclist John Wilkinson. The incident occurred back in May of twenty twenty five near Ninety Fifth Street and Avocet Lane. John Wilkinson, forty one years old from Broomfield, was struck by a vehicle that swerved into the bike lane with such force it destroyed the windshield. Johnson fled the scene, but was later apprehended. The cycling community has deeply felt this loss, and many see this sentencing as an important step toward justice.

If you're looking for entertainment options today, there's plenty happening around town. The Boulder Magic Show is running through tonight at the Dairy theater, featuring Braden Carlisle and Ben Young. And over at the Junkyard Social Club, there's a Queer Art Organics Open Mic happening at four thirty this afternoon if you want to catch some local creative talent.

As we head into the week ahead, remember to stay safe out there, especially with the larger gatherings happening today. The weather should be pleasant for being outdoors, so it's a great day to explore what Boulder has to offer.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, March 22nd.

We start with some serious news on the wildfire front. Boulder County is experiencing an unprecedented surge in red flag warnings this year. Firefighters have already responded to eleven red flag warnings in 2026, and we're not even out of March yet. That exceeds what fire departments typically see in an entire year, which is usually between eight and ten warnings. For context, red flag warnings occur when heat, wind, and low humidity create conditions where fires can ignite easily and spread rapidly. The National Weather Service just issued another red flag warning for Boulder County yesterday.

Division Chief of Wildland Fire Brian Oliver tells us the situation is unlike anything they've seen before. Snowpack has been unusually low this winter, and the region hasn't received its typical winter and spring moisture. Oliver says our fuels are dangerously dry, and any spark could create a fire that burns aggressively and resists control. The repeated cycle of warnings is taking its toll on fire crews, with Oliver noting that everyone at the department is exhausted. Fire officials continue monitoring conditions and say they expect to remain on heightened alert until we get meaningful precipitation.

On a more uplifting note, today is Boulder Strong Day of Remembrance, happening at the Museum of Boulder. This free community gathering honors those lost five years ago in the Table Mesa King Soopers tragedy. It's a meaningful way for our community to come together and support one another.

For those looking for entertainment, the world premiere of Daughtering wraps up today at the Dairy Arts Center. This funny and poignant production features three generations and four women across two urns, and it's the final performance of the run.

If you're heading to CU Boulder, there are several events happening today, including men's lacrosse facing off against San Diego State at noon at Kittredge Field, and planetarium shows at Fiske throughout the afternoon.

Downtown Boulder continues to buzz with activity this month. The Taste of Pearl is coming up, featuring sixteen local restaurants and Colorado beverage partners along Pearl Street. And mark your calendars for January 2027, when the Sundance Film Festival makes its Colorado debut right here in downtown Boulder.

Stay safe out there, Boulder. With these dangerous fire conditions persisting, please remain vigilant and prepared. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for March 21, 2026. What a crisp Saturday to kick off the weekend in our vibrant mountain town, where the Flatirons are glowing under clear skies as seen from Louisville this morning, promising perfect conditions for outdoor adventures.

First, a sobering update from our streets: Boulder police are grappling with rising drug concerns after a harrowing incident Tuesday evening in a downtown park plagued by open use and overdoses. Officers responding to complaints spotted a woman smoking suspected meth, who pointed them to dealer Kai Brown. When they approached, he bolted, leading to a chase that ended with both tumbling into Boulder Creek. Brown landed on top of an officer, who smashed his skull on a rock, suffering a serious concussion but heroically helping cuff the suspect before collapsing. Brown, a repeat offender with baggies of meth, faces felony charges including assault, yet walked free on just $100 bond despite prosecutors pushing for $20,000. Chief Steve Redfearn called it deeply troubling, highlighting how such revolving-door justice endangers everyone amid 26 fatal overdoses last year. It underscores the real risks our officers face daily to keep our community safe.

Shifting to brighter horizons, Boulder's gearing up for its biggest moment yet: the Sundance Film Festival premieres here next January after 40 years in Park City, drawing 85,000 visitors for screenings, panels, and star-studded parties that run till 2 a.m. or later. City officials, fresh from scouting the Utah event, are turbocharging our HOP bus system with free rides along key routes to venues like the Boulder Theater, dodging car chaos with high parking fees and road closures. Expect expanded late-night service to Chautauqua Auditorium, plus connections via Flatiron Flyer from DIA, BOLT from Longmont, and a new Brighton line. Transit boss Darcy Kitching says ditch the car, you might bump into celebs eavesdropping on wild festival tales. Lodging's heating up too, with 3,000 local hotel rooms and ordinances easing short-term rentals so homeowners can cash in, aided by new services like Marquee Stays. Prices could soar, but it's all about immersing visitors in Boulder's magic.

For today, catch Jonah Kagen lighting up the Fox Theatre tonight, or Shadowgrass jamming there last night if you missed the bluegrass vibe. Students are making waves with BoulderMOD, building affordable modular homes in Ponderosa Neighborhood for below-market sales, tackling our housing crunch one innovative unit at a time.
