DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2333 UTC WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 527 PM MDT WED APR 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD.
GUSTY WINDS HAVE LARGELY SUBSIDED AT THIS HOUR, AND WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO VEER E TO SE TO S THROUGH THE EVENING AT KDEN/KAPA
WITH DRAINAGE FLOW CONTINUING OVERNIGHT. KBJC WILL BE LIGHT AND
VRB DURING THIS PERIOD.
DAYTIME MIXING IS EXPECTED TO FAVOR DEVELOPMENT OF RELATIVELY
LIGHT 08-11KT NE/NNE WINDS BEGINNING 18-19Z FRI AT ALL OF THE
TERMINALS. BETWEEN 19-20Z, MID-LEVEL CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT AND
ASSOCIATED VIRGA AND -SHRA IS ANTICIPATED, WITH THIS SCATTERED
ACTIVITY PERSISTING THROUGH AT LEAST 01Z, AND POSSIBLY AS LATE AS
03Z, BEING MOST NUMEROUS AND CONSISTENT IN THE VICINITY OF KDEN
AND KBJC, FOR WHICH TEMPO GROUPS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED.
CONVECTIVE-INDUCED GUSTS OF 18-22 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH AND
NEAR PASSING -SHRA. AN ISOLATED TS CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH
MARGINAL INSTABILITY IN PLACE. WITH THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY
EXPECTED TO FAVOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA, WIND
DIRECTIONS SHOULD THUS TEND TO FAVOR NW/N/NE COMPONENTS, BUT SOME
VARIABILITY IS LIKELY NONETHELESS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 528 PM MDT WED APR 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT ALL THREE
STATIONS, KCOS, KPUB, AND KALS. A WIND SHIFT TOWARDS EAST WINDS
IS CURRENTLY PUSHING THROUGH KCOS AND KPUB, AND GUSTS WILL
WEAKEN AFTER SUNSET. SCATTERED TO BROKEN MIDDLE AND UPPER-LEVEL
CLOUD DECKS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE NORTH OF KCOS AND EAST
OF KPUB LATE IN THE PERIOD, BUT CHANCES WERE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE
IN EITHER TAF (LESS THAN 30 PERCENT).

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0156 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 443 PM MDT WED APR 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AT ALL TAF SITES ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN WY. HIGH
CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH SOME MID-LEVEL
CUMULUS OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND SW WY. GUSTY WINDS WILL
DECREASE AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING WITH GENERALLY NORTH WINDS EAST
OF THE DIVIDE AND WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS WEST OF THE DIVIDE. AS A WEAK
DISTURBANCE MOVES FROM NORTHERN UTAH INTO FAR NORTHERN CO TOMORROW
MORNING, CLOUDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN WY, WITH
SOME SHOWERS DEVELOPING AROUND THE UINTA MOUNTAINS AND MOVING SOUTH
OF KRKS DURING THE AFTERNOON. GUSTY WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
DEVELOP AGAIN ACROSS SOUTHWEST WY BEFORE DECREASING AROUND SUNSET
THURSDAY EVENING.
ANOTHER "DRY" DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN MT OVERNIGHT,
BRINGING A COOL FRONT INTO NORTHERN WY THURSDAY MORNING. GUSTY NORTH
WINDS WILL PUSH INTO KCOD MID- TO LATE-MORNING, THEN MOVE SOUTHWARD
INTO CENTRAL WY DURING THE DAY. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT KCOD
WILL SEE MVFR CONDITIONS WITH THE COOL FRONT, BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE TO VFR BY EARLY AFTERNOON. OVERALL, THERE SHOULD BE MORE
CLOUDS ON THURSDAY OVER WY, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE STATE.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1142 AM MDT WED APR 8 2026
MAINLY A WIND FORECAST FOR THE UPCOMING TAF PERIOD. AT ALL
TERMINALS EXCEPT RWL, WINDS WILL VEER THROUGH NEARLY THE ENTIRE
COMPASS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL TURN EAST AND THEN SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. A BRIEF
SURGE OF SOUTHERLY WINDS IS EXPECTED THURSDAY MORNING, BEFORE
WINDS FLIP BACK TO THE WEST OR NORTHWEST NEAR THE END OF THE
PERIOD.
IN ADDITION, SOME ISOLATED VIRGA SHOWERS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING MAY LEAD TO BRIEF GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS. VIS OR CIG DROPS ARE NOT EXPECTED. EXPECT
INCREASING MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER. A FEW LOW CLOUDS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT THURSDAY MORNING, BUT THE PROBABILITY (10%)
IS TOO LOW TO ADD TO THE TAF.

WINDS WILL STAY BREEZY OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 10-20 KTS THROUGHOUT
THE PERIOD, WITH GUSTS OF 25-30 KTS THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. INCREASING WINDS OFF THE DECK MAY POSE SOME MARGINAL
LLWS CONCERNS TONIGHT, BUT THE BREEZIER SURFACE WINDS SHOULD
MOSTLY NEGATE THAT. WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON STORM POTENTIAL TOWARDS
THE END OF THE PERIOD TOMORROW AFTERNOON, WHICH MAY REQUIRE SOME
PROB30 GROUPS PRIMARILY FOR KGUY AND KDHT IN LATER TAF ISSUANCES.
OTHERWISE, VFR SKY CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR A MAJORITY OF THE
