ISSUED AT 526 PM MDT SUN MAR 15 2026
SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE DENVER METRO, PARTICULARLY NEAR APA, HAVE
BEEN REMARKABLY PERSISTENT THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, THE NEAR
SURFACE UPSLOPE FLOW IS GRADUALLY DIMINISHING AND PRECIPITATION
COVERAGE HAS GRADUALLY DIMINISHED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. A
FEW MODELS ATTEMPT TO REDEVELOP ANOTHER ORGANIZED BAND OF SNOW
LATER THIS EVENING ALONG A RIBBON OF MID-LEVEL FGEN/CONVERGENCE.
HAVE EXTENDED THE TEMPO AND ADDED A PROB30 THROUGH 05-06Z FOR THAT
POTENTIAL ALONG WITH SOME CONTINUED MVFR CIGS. WINDS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY TURN CLOCKWISE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS
BEFORE SETTLING ON A DRAINAGE FLOW OVERNIGHT.
WINDS ARE A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN ON MONDAY, BUT SPEEDS WILL BE
MUCH WEAKER THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS. GUIDANCE HAS JUST ABOUT EVERY
PREVAILING DIRECTION AS AN OPTION. WOULD HAVE TO IMAGINE THAT
THERE'S ENOUGH SNOW COVER DOWN BY APA TO KEEP DRAINAGE THERE A
LITTLE LONGER, WITH WEAKER EAST/SOUTHEAST AT DEN AS THE PREFERRED
SOLUTION FOR NOW.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 503 PM MDT SUN MAR 15 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD, MID-TO-HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS
AROUND THE AREA. WINDS ARE RELATIVELY LIGHT OVERNIGHT, BUT INCREASE
EARLY IN THE MORNING (AROUND 15Z). GUSTY WINDS OCCUR MORE MOST
LOCATIONS THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. ONE CONCERN OVERNIGHT IS FOG,
GIVEN RECENT MOISTURE AND SOME MELT DURING SUNDAY. PLACES LIKE KCPR,
KJAC, KLND, AND KRIW WOULD BE THE MOST LIKELY PLACE. GIVEN THE
COLDER TEMPERATURES AND LACK OF MODELS INDICATING SATURATION AT THE
LOWER LEVELS, HAVE HELD OFF ANY FOG IN THE TAFS FOR NOW. LIGHT SNOW
IS ALSO POSSIBLE AT KJAC STARTING AROUND 10Z, WITH 30 TO 40 PERCENT
CHANCES CONTINUING THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
