• All regularly scheduled and daily drop-in youth and adult classes at the North Boulder Recreation Center have been cancelled due to health concerns about the smoke. The recreation center will be open for walk-in fitness and swimming until further notice.
• All downtown city offices closed at 12:30 p.m. today due to anticipated rolling power outages.
