Boulder's Thanksgiving Forecast, Holiday Races, and Green Grants

Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, November 27th, 2025.
Happy Thanksgiving, Boulder. We're starting this holiday morning with perfect weather in your favor. Today brings sunshine and light winds with highs in the mid-50s, making it ideal for whatever adventures you've got planned, whether that's football watching or turkey feasting. Enjoy it while you can though, because Mother Nature is about to flip the switch. A strong cold front barrels in Friday night, ushering in our first real taste of winter this season. We're talking highs tumbling into the 20s and 30s through the weekend, with one or two rounds of light snow likely. Accumulations should stay modest, a few inches at most, but it'll be enough to finally break Boulder's snowflake drought.
If you're looking to get out this morning and do something meaningful, the Alpine Bank Boulder Thanksgiving Day 5K and Kids Fun Run is happening right now with a brand new downtown course connecting Pearl Street from West to East, finishing on the Pearl Street Mall in front of the courthouse. It's a BOLDDERBoulder qualifier and all proceeds benefit Harvest of Hope Pantry, which serves about 750 shoppers weekly and distributes an average of 3500 pounds of food each day.
Speaking of community giving, if you're interested in supporting Nederland's recovery efforts after the Caribou Village Fire, Comedy Works headliners Vinnie Montez, Nancy Norton, and John Novosad are hosting Stand Up for Nederland tomorrow night at the Dairy Arts Center. The fire tore through almost 20 businesses near downtown, though many have already reopened in new locations. Some businesses like Brightwood Music and Mountain Man Outdoor Store are already back in action, but others like Augustina's Winery and Tres Gringos are still working on their comeback.
On the policy front, Colorado's ethics commission is reviewing a complaint involving Boulder Senator Judy Amabile and Longmont Representative Karen McCormick, along with other members of the Opportunity Caucus. Watchdog group Common Cause Colorado questions whether a political nonprofit properly covered costs for a caucus retreat under the state's gift ban rules. The lawmakers say they relied on legal guidance and call the allegations inaccurate and politically motivated.
Looking ahead to next week, Boulder County is launching a new Grey to Green fund in December, offering grants up to 20000 dollars to turn paved or concrete areas into green landscapes. Applications open December 9th through February 3rd, 2026.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
