Winds are howling across the Foothills this morning, with gusts topping 70+ MPH and fire danger at historic levels. For the first time ever, Colorado is under a Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning—an extraordinary designation from the National Weather Service. While Boulder itself could dodge the absolute most extreme winds, conditions remain somewhat uncertain overall, and things will definitely be highly volatile in the Foothills. We breakdown the latest model updates and step through how this dangerous Friday will unfold across the area.

Hold onto your hats, Colorado—today’s forecast isn’t just another breezy afternoon. A fast‑developing mountain wave event is lining up to deliver some of the strongest winds we’ve seen in quite some time, with Boulder squarely in the bullseye for this event. We’re talking winds that can go from calm to extreme in minutes, near-critical fire danger with every gust, and even the likelihood of planned and unplanned power outages. Add in mountain snow squalls and a sharp cold front tonight, and it’s definitely a busy day in Colorado weather. Read on for the full breakdown of timing, impacts, and what you need to know to stay safe as the event unfolds.
The Front Range has been defined by relentless warmth, gusty winds, and bone‑dry conditions of late—and that theme isn’t breaking anytime soon. Even with a strong cold front charging through midweek, the cooldown will be pitiful, dropping us only back to “normal” while lasting only a single day, and it comes at the price of near‑critical fire danger beforehand. With highs hovering near or above 60° almost every day leading into Christmas and precipitation chances close to zero, a brown holiday is essentially guaranteed for the Boulder–Denver area. Read on for our full outlook of our weather heading into the holiday period.
