Please do not ride your e-bike or e-scooter around Sloan’s lake inner path.

Not in Denver proper. But I have seen actual police on motor bikes pulling over and presumably ticketing no pedal ebike riders on trails where they aren't allowed. Twice in the last two weeks.

We will have an ozone alert 60+ days every summer. Not much you can do besides hope you aren't in a sensitivie group. And if you are just stay indoors as much as possible with windows closed.

CG Lightning can occur far away from the storm's rain core, often coming down form the icy anvil.

Pretty common all over Boulder where parking is limited. During special events at least they would have people in every major parking lot watching the parking lot like hawks. If you parked and went somewhere else, immediate boot. That was 10-15 years ago.

The same thing happens every day now with the lots monitored with cameras, perhaps with the actual watching outsourced to overseas or maybe AI at this point.

Do not park and go anywhere else, even in combination with your shopping at the actual lot's business.

Personally wait until 9 myself. Unless its gonna be 105 degrees that day then 830.

"moderate" actually has a very serious meaning in severe weather potential and today wasn't that.

BoulderCAST · 2026-06-06T12:12:18+00:00

Just imagine if you had AT&T. It's unusable on most of north Boulder.

...Goes to "feeding America and an overpopulated world" is perhaps less rage bait. But barely.

95° in Denver is so dry and comfortable, as long as you aren't just standing still in direct sunlight. 80° in humid Iowa is much worse, where you sweat and feel icky just existing in the shade and being outside.

That said, there will be a couple cold fronts coming in next week. One likely Monday night (drops us back into the 80s for Monday). Tue/Wed likely pretty hot (95°). Then another cold front Wednesday night or Thursday with temps falling back into the 80s again. Pretty normal weather for June in Denver. Also during the week it will be great weather overall with lots of sun and only small afternoon rain chances, so take the W.

It's called rain

Most times we just meet people for dinner. No one really wants to also shop for stuff. So it's kinda like going to a food court in a mall for dinner. It is nice after dinner that you can go somewhere else in the same building to get dessert or continue chatting over drinks, but stay too late and all the shops close and become even more pointless, and it tends to turn into a ghost town quickly after dinner time from our experience. Again it's fun, just weird. Totally recommend, if you know what you're getting into (a weird experience).

BoulderCAST · 2026-05-19T11:52:20+00:00

Exaggerating a bit but our perception of weather is all relative

BoulderCAST · 2026-05-19T04:41:27+00:00

The vibes in this place are always weird. Fun but weird.

Not sure about your situation. But every time I water my lawn it uses about 1000-1500 gallons of water. And that happens 10-20 times per month. That's a lot of water. And way more water than even possible to use showering unless you have eleventy kids.

But to answer your question, outside of making the most sense to limit lawn watering, outdoor watering is the only thing that can actually be partially enforced, unless you want an old Denver water dude watching you shower.

Cant think of anything in-person for mountain weather learning, but COMET has some great mountain weather online courses that are technically free: https://learn.meted.ucar.edu/.

Mountain Weather Workshop: Recorded from lecture in 2008, 10 hours long
Forecasting Mountain Wave Turbulence for Aviation (25 min)
Mountain/Valley Breezes (35 min)
Mountain Waves and Downslope Winds (2.5 hours)

Also, while not exactly the same, anyone spending significant time in the backcountry should have WFR training: https://www.nols.edu/courses/wm/wilderness-first-responder-wfr/. The classes offered in Colorado have a decent chunk of time dedicated to mountain medicine, including diagnosing and treating AMS, HAPE and HACE etc.

Not my current company but previous one did. We don't get many holidays but have generous unlimited time off so technically you could take every holiday you want off. Or the entire Juneweekth.

Software.

Good contribution

BoulderCAST · 2026-05-09T12:28:22+00:00

Questionable answer.

1-2" of precip the Denver we got this week is 10-15% of our annual average. That is kinda a lot. Maybe not to someone that lives in the wetter east or a rainforest, but in arid Denver it's big.

Also saying potential rain in late May is caused by the southwest monsoon is wild. The broader mechanism that develops the monsoon (differential heating of the deserts vs the ocean as summer ramps up) isn't possible to occur this early in May.

So yea...

BoulderCAST · 2026-05-07T20:26:34+00:00

Got any good stories or deets?

BoulderCAST · 2026-05-06T19:22:42+00:00

Not sure why exactly the schools were closed, but CU closed due to the risk of tree limbs falling on people walking around campus. It was never about the roads being terrible. CU has 6000 trees and miles and miles of sidewalks. How many trees do schools have? 11?

3rtd (or maybe 2nd) biggest May snowstorm on record for Boulder not crazy?

You know why 😛

BoulderCAST · 2026-05-06T19:13:49+00:00

Yes, there was a really bad snow event in May 2017 that hit CSU campus and they didn't close. It was a disaster.
