Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13th, 2025.
The big talk across Boulder today is skyward: Coloradans were treated to a rare and brilliant display of the northern lights last night, and tonight promises another shot to catch the aurora. Space weather experts at the National Center for Atmospheric Research right here in Boulder say a severe geomagnetic storm is still forecast, so gaze north and get away from city lights if you want another glimpse. Your best chance is before 10 p.m., with your phone camera in night mode handy. Just remember, clouds could be patchier tonight, but if you missed yesterday’s magic, tonight still holds promise for glowing skies.
Now, turning to community happenings: There’s plenty on tap for locals today. At the University of Colorado Boulder, campus life is in full swing. The Wind Symphony is showcasing their performance, The Blue Marble, and entry is free if you’re looking to soak up some innovative music. If you’re more of a maker, BLDG 61 at Boulder Public Library is opening up the woodshop from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., perfect for anyone wanting to work on hands-on projects or try something new. Across town, the creative pulse continues at the Junkyard Social Club as they host drop-in Mahjongg and flow jams in the evening, welcoming all ages to an eclectic community for arts, games, and dancing.
If you’re craving a more thoughtful exchange, Chautauqua is hosting a Difficult Dialogues session tonight, focusing on Israel, Palestine, and Boulder—an important conversation in these challenging times, offering a space for nuanced discussion and local voices.
Wildlife news continues to make headlines as Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation in north Boulder County reports a record-setting year for animal intake. Fewer options for animal rehab have sent more injured and orphaned wildlife their way, a sign of the growing need to support our feathered and furry neighbors.
More locally, Nederland’s most recent police reports are a snapshot of mountain town life: a stuck RTD bus necessitating a semi-wrecker rescue, various wildlife interventions including the safe hazing of a wayward bear, and a notable increase in welfare checks and mental health outreach. Law enforcement and first responders remain busy, reminding us all to look out for each other as the seasons start to change.
On campus, the Staff Council Blood Drive wraps up today for those feeling generous; details are at the UMC and online. And for readers and lifelong learners, the Boulder Public Library has a slate of youth and adult programs across its branches, from storytimes to tech help and exhibitions.
And for everyone waiting on the weather, bundle up but keep your eyes peeled—tonight could be another one for the memory books if those northern lights make a repeat performance.
