Weather watch

Treat the numbers as the story for Boulder: temperature band and rain risk, then decide if the trip is on.

Boulder, Colorado

Weekend air in Boulder sits near 86°F / 63°F, plus a workable rain total around 0.35 in — enough to decide whether the trip is on.

With highs near 86°F, Boulder works as a food-and-wander weekend — patio time, a long lunch, then whatever the evening weather allows.

If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 86°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”

Bottom line
