Boulder Braces for Fire Weather While Farmers Face Drought Challenges
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
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.
