AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 442 PM MST FRI DEC 12 2025
VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. CURRENT WESTERLY WINDS AT KDEN ARE
EXPECTED TO TREND TOWARDS DRAINAGE THROUGH THE EVENING (BY 3/4Z).
KAPA WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE BEFORE ALSO
TURNING TO DRAINAGE. GUSTY WEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT KBJC THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A MOUNTAIN WAVE IS EXPECTED TO REAMPLIFY.
THERE IS A CHANCE (15-20%) A FEW FINGERS OF GUSTY WINDS SPILL
INTO THE PLAINS AND MAKE THEIR WAY INTO KDEN, WITH THE GREATEST
CHANCES BETWEEN 12-14Z THAT WOULD LEAD TO DRAINAGE WINDS SHIFTING
TO THE WEST AND GUSTING BETWEEN 25-30 KTS.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE N AND THEN NE BY LATE MORNING AS
A COLD FRONT SLIDES SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS. SHOULD SEE SOME GUSTY
WINDS (20-25 KTS) FOR A FEW HOURS AS IT MOVES THROUGH. THERE HAS
BEEN A SLIGHT DELAY IN TIMING WITH THE LATEST GUIDANCE, THOUGH
MODELS ARE NOTORIOUSLY LATE ON COLD FRONT ARRIVALS, SO WE EXPECT
THE GUSTY NE WINDS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 17-19Z. WINDS SHOULD TREND TO
THE EAST FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE
BY AROUND 22Z.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 406 PM MST FRI DEC 12 2025
MVFR CEILINGS CONTINUE AT KWRL LATE THIS AFTERNOON. RECENT TRENDS
FAVOR THE PERSISTENCE OF THIS LATER THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED, AND WE
NOW HAVE LOW CLOUDS THROUGH 03Z THERE. OTHERWISE, REMAINING
TERMINALS SHOULD STAY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD AS LOW CLOUDS DEPART.
THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE WIND, MOST NOTABLY AT KCOD, KCPR,
KRIW AND KRKS WHICH WILL SEE SOUTHWEST GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS FOR
MUCH OF THE PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

FOG ACROSS THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE LOOKS TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN
TONIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD 1/4SM TO 1SM ALREADY OCCURRING AND
LIKELY TO CONTINUE AMID THIS UPSLOPE REGIME. WINDS OF 10-15MPH
WILL DO LITTLE TO MIX THE FOG OUT AND MAY ACTUALLY WORK TO JUST
PUSH IT FURTHER WEST UP THE VALLEYS. IFR TO LIFR CIGS ARE COMMON
AS WELL WITH A FEW SITES SHOWING ONLY 100-200FT OF VERTICAL
VIS. FOR WYOMING TERMINALS GUSTS REMAIN THE PRIMARY HAZARD AT
30-40KTS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

ISSUED AT 424 PM MST FRI DEC 12 2025
FOR KGLD & KMCK... DIFFICULT AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST
WITH CEILINGS AS LOW AS A FEW HUNDRED FEET AND FREEZING FOG. LOW
CEILINGS AROUND 1000FT ARE ALREADY OBSERVED AT KMCK AND KGLD IS
EXPECTED TO JOIN WITHIN THE FIRST FEW HOURS. AN AREA OF FOG IS
FORECAST TO FORM ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER AND IMPACT KGLD AS
EARLY AS 01Z. THE FOG SHOULD THEN EXPAND EAST AND INCLUDE KMCK.
WHETHER AT THE SURFACE OR JUST A BIT ABOVE, ICING IS A CONCERN
ONCE THE FOG FORMS AS TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY NEAR FREEZING.
MOST OF THE NIGHT SHOULD HAVE CONDITIONS THAT ARE NOT IDEAL FOR
FLYING. AS WE GET CLOSER TO 12Z, A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO PUSH IN FROM THE WEST AND START MOVING THE MOISTURE
OUT. THIS SHOULD ALLOW KGLD TO CLEAR AND SEE VFR CONDITIONS BY
18Z. CONVERSELY, KMCK MAY NOT FULLY CLEAR DURING THE PERIOD, BUT
SHOULD HAVE THE FOG LIFT BY 16Z.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PRIMARILY PREVAIL ACROSS THE TAF
PERIOD. THERE DOES EXIST SOME PATCHY FOG POTENTIAL LATE TONIGHT
AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING THAT COULD LEAD TO A PERIOD OF
MVFR/IFR, BUT CHANCES FOR IMPACFUL VISIBILITY REDUCTION AT THE
TERMINALS IS VERY LOW, MAINLY LESS THAN 20%. THEREFORE, MENTION
IS LEFT OUT FOR NOW. WINDS WILL MAINLY BE OUT OF THE SOUTHWARD
DIRECTION 5-10 KNOTS TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE
WINDS SHIFT AND INCREASE OUT OF THE NORTH 10-20 KNOTS LATE
SATURDAY MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON.
