From Wild Winds to Fresh Events—Tuesday’s Boulder Rundown
Spring Sunshine, Strong Winds & Fresh Events to Check Out
Weather
Tuesday’s forecast has a little bit of everything—sun, wind, rain, and even a chance of snow. The day starts off mostly sunny, but by the afternoon, clouds roll in, and the wind really picks up. Gusts could top 40 mph, making it feel cooler than the actual temperature. A 50% chance of rain moves in after 1 PM. As the evening progresses, temperatures drop, and there’s a chance of rain turning into snow. While accumulation is expected to be minimal, the wind could make for a blustery night.
🌡 High: 58°F | Wind: W 20-28 mph (gusts up to 41 mph)
🌙 Low: 25°F | Wind: NNW 19-24 mph (gusts up to 37 mph)
🌦 Afternoon: Increasing clouds, windy, with a 50% chance of rain.
❄️ Evening: Rain may turn to snow overnight, but little accumulation expected.
Heads up: The shifting weather could make for some slick roads late at night, so if you're driving, take it slow.
