DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1902 UTC SATURDAY, MAY 23, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1230 PM MDT SAT MAY 23 2026
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW LIGHT WINDS (<10KT) OF VARYING DIRECTIONS
ACROSS THE AREA DRIVEN BY SURFACE HEATING. WIND DIRECTION WILL BE
TRICKY THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN THE WEAK FLOW ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE,
BUT WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN LIGHT W-NW BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO THE
USUAL DRAINAGE WIND PATTERN LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE NEAR-TERM IS THE POTENTIAL (20% CHANCE) FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MICROBURSTS THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN 20Z AND 02Z,
GIVEN DCAPE VALUES AROUND 800 J/KG AND THE INCREASING CUMULUS
COVERAGE. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO FULLY
INCLUDE SHOWERS IN THE TAF GIVEN THAT ANY SHOWERS WILL BE HIGH-BASED
OR VIRGA. NEVERTHELESS, VARIABLE WIND GUSTS UP TO 25KT COULD
OCCUR WITH ANY MICROBURSTS THAT DEVELOP.
WINDS SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY, STARTING OUT LIGHT
AND VARIABLE BEFORE TURNING CLOCKWISE. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE FOR MICROBURSTS AND HIGH-BASED SHOWERS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON STARTING AT 19Z DUE TO MORE AVAILABLE MOISTURE IN THE
REGION.

CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE ROLLING THROUGH THE REGION BRINGING SOME ISOLATED

FROM KBFF TO KAIA. DUE TO DRY CONDITIONS AT THE LOWER LEVELS, THIS

ADDITION, THERE HAS BEEN NO LIGHTNING OBSERVED RECENTLY IN THIS
ACTIVITY. GUSTY WINDS WILL DIE DOWN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS FOR
ALL THE TERMINALS, GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KNOTS. WINDS WILL PICK

ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BE OUT OF THE VICINITY OF EACH
TERMINAL BY THE START OF THIS TAF PERIOD. A LOW LEVEL JET IS
STILL FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT LEADING TO LLWS CONCERNS FOR
EACH TERMINAL. THERE IS A 20-30% CHANCE THAT ENOUGH MIXING COULD
OCCUR THAT SOME OF THE WINDS COULD BE MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE
HOWEVER; IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN LLWS WOULD NOT BE A CONCERN
BUT SURFACE WINDS WOULD. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN AN AMD WOULD
BE NEEDED. WATCHING FOR SHOWER AND STORM POTENTIAL AGAIN AS
EARLY AS 18Z SUNDAY; CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN COVER AND EXACT
IMPACTS TO EACH TERMINAL SO WILL LEAVE OUT OF THE TAF FOR NOW.

A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
COMBINED PANHANDLES. FIRST IMPACTING KDHT, THEN KGUY, AND LASTLY
IMPACT KAMA. STRONG TO SEVERE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE RULED
OUT WITH THESE STORMS. THOUGH THE SEVERE POTENTIAL SHOULD LESSEN
AS IT GETS TO KAMA. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH PRIMARILY
LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 5-14 KTS. KAMA SHOULD BE STORM FREE
AFTER 05Z.

VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL AND ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST AT TAF SITES
WITH MOSTLY LIGHT WINDS. ANOTHER ROUND OF ISO/SCT SHOWERS AND
STORMS IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS EASTERN AREAS,
BUT IS FORECAST TO REMAIN NORTH OF KROW. PATCHES OF MVFR OR EVEN
IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW STATUS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
ACROSS FAR EASTERN NM, BUT FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO
INCLUDE IN KROW TAF. THE GUSTY EAST CANYON WIND LATE TONIGHT AT
KABQ IS STILL FORECAST, BUT SPEEDS ARE TRENDING DOWN AND
DEPENDENT ON WESTWARD BOUND OUTFLOW FROM AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS
ACROSS EASTERN NM.
