DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0812 UTC SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1137 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. DRAINAGE FLOW
HAS RETURNED TO DEN AND APA AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 14Z THIS
MORNING, WITH WINDS GENERALLY RANGING FROM 10-15 KTS. FOR BJC,
LIGHT WINDS (<8 KTS) WILL GIVE WAY TO LIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW IN A
COUPLE OF HOURS.
ON SATURDAY, WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY BY 14Z/15Z AND TURN MORE
NORTHWESTERLY BY 16Z/17Z AT ALL TERMINALS. GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS ARE
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. AFTER
THAT, A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND REACH DEN AND BJC
BETWEEN 01Z-02Z, WITH GUSTY NORTHEASTERLY WINDS BEHIND IT. EXPECT
THE FRONT TO ARRIVE TO APA BETWEEN 02Z-03Z.
BEHIND THE FRONT, EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING WITH
CEILINGS DROPPING AS LOW AS 1000 FT. THERE IS A CHANCE (<30%
CHANCE FOR NOW) THAT LIGHT RAIN AND POTENTIALLY FOG COULD IMPACT
ALL AIRPORTS, PARTICULARLY BETWEEN 05Z-12Z. IF THIS WERE TO
HAPPEN, VISIBILITIES COULD DROP BELOW 1 MILE. FOR NOW, HAVE KEPT
IT OUT OF THE TAF BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 945 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD FOR MOST TERMINALS.
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. KCOD HAS ALREADY REPORTED LIGHT RAIN, WITH THE BEST CHANCE
FOR MORE SHOWERS LATER TONIGHT THROUGH MID-MORNING SATURDAY. THESE
SHOWERS MAY IMPACT KWRL SATURDAY MORNING, BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD
REMAIN VFR WITH THESE SHOWERS THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP EAST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THIS CONVECTION MAY BRIEFLY DROP CONDITIONS TO
MVFR. THE BEST CHANCE OF IMPACTS AND REDUCTIONS IN FLIGHT CATEGORY
WILL BE AT KCPR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. FOR NOW KEPT THIS THREAT AS A
PROB30 DUE TO THE SCATTERED NATURE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS, BUT IT IS
PROBABLE (80%) A PREVAILING GROUP WITH -TSRA WILL BE NEEDED WITH
FUTURE TAF ISSUANCES.
A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE DOWN FROM THE NORTH SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, WHICH WILL RESULT IN WIND SHIFTING NORTHERLY.
THIS FRONT WILL MAKE IT TO KRKS SATURDAY EVENING, BUT LOSE STRENGTH
AS IT DOES SO, RESULTING IN WEAKER NORTHEASTERLY WIND THERE. FOR
MOST TERMINALS WIND WILL INCREASE BY MID-MORNING SATURDAY AND REMAIN
BREEZY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BEFORE SUNSET. STRONG, ERRATIC WIND CAN
BE EXPECTED WITH CONVECTION SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0546 UTC SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1145 PM MDT FRI MAY 8 2026
GENERALLY, VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS FOR MOST
OF THIS TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE THE THREAT OF STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BY 18Z SATURDAY. THESE STORMS WILL PRIMARILY BE
WIND PRODUCERS ALONG WITH BRINGING AMPLE LIGHTNING. HAIL IS NOT OUT
OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY, BUT WE ARE NOT EXPECTING SEVERE HAIL.
SO, EXPECT VIS AND CIGS TO BRIEFLY DIP IF A STORM COMES CLOSE TO OR
GOES OVER A TERMINAL. OTHERWISE, -SHRA WILL IMPACT MOST OF THE
SITES, REDUCING VIS EVER SO SLIGHTLY FOR MOST OF THE DAY.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRAKA THROUGHOUT THE EFFECTIVE TAF PERIOD. LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, BRIEFLY BECOMING
WESTERLY IN THE MORNING. AS A COLD FRONT TRACKS THROUGH THE REGION,
WINDS SHIFT TO NORTHERLY AND BECOME GUSTY THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. AFTER SUNSET, AS AN INVERSION DEVELOPS, WINDS AGAIN
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE. CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND
INTO THE MORNING, WITH VFR CEILINGS REMAINING AND LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS
ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. LATE AFTERNOON, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA, BUT
CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE IS LOW AT THIS TIME, SO WILL OMIT FROM
TAFS.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE 06Z TAF PERIOD AT ALL
TAF SITES. THE ONLY EXCEPTION COULD BE AT KAMA STARTING AROUND
08-10Z THROUGH AROUND 12-14Z WHERE LOW CIGS COULD IMPACT LEVELS,
BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN TAF AT THIS TIME.
OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED THROUGHOUT. WINDS
WILL BE SOUTHERLY AND SOUTHWESTERLY AT 5-15 KTS WITH SOME HIGHER
GUSTS AT TIMES.
