🎶 Bluegrass, Birdwatching & Boulder Symphony – Sunday Plans?

Need Sunday plans? Boulder’s bringing the vibes today. Yoga, symphony, bluegrass jams, a cosmic double feature, and even some birdwatching—because why not? Pick your adventure and make the most of the weekend!

Sunday Weather – Chilly, But Make It Cozy

Boulder’s serving up a classic winter Sunday special—mostly sunny, high of 38°F, and just enough chill in the air to remind you it’s still February. Winds will be light, so it’s a great day to bundle up and get outside before the snow rolls in tonight.

🌙 Overnight: A 40% chance of snow, but don’t get too excited—it’s looking like a light dusting at best. Low of 26°F, so if you're out late, maybe opt for an extra layer .

📅 Sunrise/Sunset: 6:51 AM | 5:37 PM
🌕 Moon: Waning Gibbous | Moonrise 9:57 PM | Moonset 8:38 AM

The Vibe:

• Day: Crisp, sunny, and actually kind of nice. ☀️

• Night: Could get snowy, could just be dramatic clouds. ❄️

• Monday morning commute? Probably fine.
