Comedy, Cosmic Country & A Live Podcast – What’s to do Thursday

Thursday Weather

It’s one of those classic Boulder days—sunny skies, crisp air, and just enough warmth to fool you into thinking winter is over (spoiler: it’s not). Weeks like this let us average of 300+ sunny days a year. That’s more than Miami! So go ahead, soak up the rays while they last.

☀️ Thursday: Bright and sunny, high of 61°F. Winds light and variable—no trash cans flying down the street today.
🌙 Tonight: Clear skies, low of 37°F. A great night for stargazing, or at least a solid excuse to sit outside with a warm drink.
☀️ Sunrise: 6:36 AM | 🌅 Sunset: 5:50 PM
🌙 Moon: New Moon | Moonset: 5:42 PM
