Thunderstorms, Trains, and Outdoor Delights: Your Boulder Update for July 17, 2025
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, July 17, 2025.
As you step outside today, keep an eye on the sky, Boulder. Widespread rain is rolling through northeastern Colorado, and parts of Boulder County are under flash flood warnings. Severe thunderstorms have brought damaging winds and hail across the region—and while Boulder itself is on alert, our neighbors in Gilpin County just had a close brush with a major accident. Earlier this week, an Amtrak train collided with a semi at a crossing near South Beaver Creek Road. Thankfully, all 268 train passengers and the crew are okay, but the semi driver was airlifted with non-life-threatening injuries. Local residents pitched in, comforting the driver until emergency crews arrived. Authorities remind all of us to slow down and stay vigilant, especially near railroad crossings, and to follow official updates to keep everyone safe.
Now, for some sunny news amidst the storms. Tonight, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival brings magic and mischief to the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre with The Tempest at 7 p.m. Prospero’s island comes alive under the Boulder stars—if you love live theater, don’t miss this iconic play right in the heart of the city.
If you’re the active type, there’s a variety of ways to get moving today. At 5:30 this evening, the Boulder Achilles Running and Walking group meets for a community jog or stroll—runners and walkers of all levels are invited. For a different kind of challenge, the Movement Thursday Night Meetup welcomes climbers to scale the walls and then wrap up the evening with some well-earned relaxation at a local brewpub. Whether you’re in it for personal bests or just to unwind with good company, it’s a great way to plug in and make some friends.
For those looking to find a bit of peace, the Boulder Shambhala Center is hosting its weekly public meditation at 5:30 tonight. Anyone is welcome to sit in and find some calm before the weekend.
On a different note, CU Boulder’s Theoretical Advanced Study Institute recently wrapped up, bringing sixty-five of the world’s rising stars in physics to campus for a month of collaboration and discovery. This annual program puts Boulder on the map for cutting-edge research, and the innovations shared here ripple out into the scientific world for years to come.
Don’t miss the sunrise views of the Flatirons this morning—if clouds allow, it’s a perfect moment to feel connected to Boulder’s iconic landscape before storms potentially roll back through.
Looking ahead toward the weekend, you can mark your calendars for the Summer Art Market at BMoCA on Saturday and a host of concerts and summer happenings both in Boulder and nearby Denver.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
