DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1928 UTC SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1143 AM MDT SUN MAR 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. CURRENTLY, LIGHT
AND VARIABLE WINDS ARE DOMINATING ALL THE TAF SITES. THIS SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FOR DEN AND APA. FOR BJC, AFTERNOON
MIXING SHOULD ALLOW WESTERLY WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS AT TIMES.
SNOW ACROSS THE PLAINS SHOULD KEEP DEN AND APA FROM SEEING THESE
STRONGER WESTERLY WINDS MIXING DOWN. HOWEVER, CAN'T RULE OUT THAT
POSSIBILITY SINCE HI-RES GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE TWO
SITES SEEING WNW WINDS BRIEFLY, PARTICULARLY BETWEEN 20-22Z. IF
THIS DOES OCCUR, EXPECT WINDS TO GENERALLY STAY BELOW 15 KTS.
VARIABLE WINDS WILL GIVE WAY TO DRAINAGE FLOW, WITH A BIT MORE
SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO IT THIS EVENING FOR DEN AND APA. SOUTHWEST
WINDS LIKELY WILL INCREASE TOMORROW MORNING, WITH GUIDANCE
INDICATING WESTERLY WINDS BY 19Z/20Z WITH GUSTS UP TO 25-30 KTS
DUE TO A MOUNTAIN WAVE. HOWEVER, STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH HOW
FAR EAST THE GUSTS WILL MAKE IT. FOR NOW, HAVE INCLUDED IT IN THE
TAF BUT IT MAY BE REMOVED IN FUTURE FORECAST UPDATES. IF THE
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS DO NOT MATERIALIZE TOMORROW, LIGHT NNE WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE.
A LITTLE UNCERTAIN WITH WINDS AT BJC FOR THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. GUSTS LIKELY WILL WEAKEN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, HOWEVER
SOME GUIDANCE INDICATES GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS
WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON THE STRENGTH OF THE WEAK MOUNTAIN WAVE AND
IF THE WINDS RETREAT BACK UP THE FOOTHILLS OR NOT. MODELS DO
INDICATE ANOTHER MOUNTAIN WAVE FORMING TOMORROW MORNING, WHICH
WILL LIKELY AFFECT BJC WITH WESTERLY WIND GUSTS UP TO 25-30 KTS AT
TIMES.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1126 AM MDT SUN MAR 8 2026
KJAC WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SHOWERS IN THE VICINITY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL LEAD TO MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH THE FIRST FEW
HOURS, WITH AN IMPROVEMENT TO VFR CEILINGS EXPECTED AFTER 21Z.
STILL, AN OCCASIONAL SHOWER MOVING OFF THE MOUNTAINS COULD IMPACT
KJAC THROUGH SUNSET, THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS LOW FOR IMPACTS. ANOTHER
WEAK WAVE WILL PUSH IN OVERNIGHT, AGAIN BRINGING VICINITY SHOWERS
AND LOWER, VFR CEILINGS THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY MORNING AT KJAC.
OTHERWISE, THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE WIND. MOST TERMINALS
WILL SEE GUSTS OF 25 TO 40 KNOTS THROUGH THE EVENING. WIND WILL
DECREASE BUT REMAIN ELEVATED FOR MOST OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT KCOD
AND KCPR WHICH WILL SEE FREQUENT GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS. WIND WILL
INCREASE AGAIN AT TERMINALS LATE MONDAY MORNING, PERSISTING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
