AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 441 PM MST SUN FEB 15 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. AN ANTICYCLONE HAS
FORMED JUST WEST OF DEN, WHICH HAS ALLOWED GUSTY NW WINDS AT DEN
AND BJC, WHILE APA HAS WINDS FROM THE ENE. EXPECT NW GUSTS UP TO
20 KTS (25 KTS AT BJC) TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT HOUR, BEFORE THE
CYCLONE TREKS EAST. WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY TRANSITION TO THE SE FOR
A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE TURNING TO DRAINAGE BY 0700Z.
FOR TOMORROW, A CYCLONE WILL DEVELOP AND ALLOW STRONGER SOUTHERLY
WINDS BY 1900Z FOR DEN AND APA. WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 KTS IS
POSSIBLE FOR BOTH AIRPORTS, PARTICULARLY IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS. GUIDANCE FAVORS THE CYCLONE PASSING BY 2300Z, WHICH WILL
BRING LIGHT AND VRB WINDS BEFORE DRAINAGE FLOW TAKES OVER. SINCE
BJC WILL LIKELY BE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE, WINDS MAY BE FROM THE
EAST ENE BY THE AFTERNOON.
