Chill, Chat, Dance: Here’s Boulder’s Sunday Rundown

☀️ Sunday, April 13

🌦️ Weather

It’s a “bring a jacket and sunglasses” kinda day.

• Morning: Chilly start in the upper 40s with scattered clouds.

• Afternoon: Partly sunny and breezy with a high near 69°F. A few stray showers could roll in after lunch — umbrella optional, but smart.

• Evening: Light rain gives way to a late-night mix of snow flurries and thunder (yes, really). Temps dip to 35°F by sunrise.

• Wind: SE winds turn NE at 10–15 mph with gusts near 18 mph. Calming after dark.

• Sunrise/Sunset: 6:25 AM / 7:37 PM

• Humidity: 31% daytime, rising to 68% by night.

📍 Heads-Up: A weird weather sandwich — sun, wind, showers, and maybe snow. Just another Boulder Sunday. Read more at NWS
