💡 Why is Boulder’s Front Range sometimes cooler than the higher elevation foothills?
It sounds counterintuitive, but temperature inversions can trap colder air in lower elevations while the foothills stay milder. This happens more in winter, but can pop up any time of year—just another quirk of Boulder’s wild weather!
