AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1057 PM MST THU MAR 5 2026
MAIN CONCERN IS THE TRENDS IN SNOW AND DURATION OF POTENTIAL
MODERATE SNOW. MODELS HAVE ALL SLOWED THE PROGRESSION OF THIS
STORM SYSTEM WHICH MEANS A LONGER SNOW EVENT. WHILE THE ONSET MAY
BE DELAYED BY AN HOUR OR SO TIL 12Z-14Z, WE HAVING GROWING
CONFIDENCE IN MODERATE SNOW DEVELOPING BY 15-16Z ACROSS THE METRO
DENVER TAF SITES. THE HEAVIEST WILL INITIALLY BE NEAR THE
FOOTHILLS, BUT SPREADING EAST TO KDEN BY 16Z. THAT SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OF NEAR MODERATE INTENSITY WITH VISIBILITY
DOWN TO ~1/2SM AND CIGS/VERTICAL VISIBILITY NEAR 500 FEET THROUGH
20Z, WITH A CHANCE IT LASTS A LITTLE LONGER THAN THAT NEAR KAPA
DUE TO BETTER OROGRAPHCIS IN NORTHERLY FLOW. LIGHTER SNOW
(VISIBILITY 1-3SM AND CIGS 006-012) IS THEN LIKELY TO LINGER TIL
ABOUT 03Z BEFORE SKIES CIGS LIFT AND SKIES CLEAR RATHER QUICKLY
BEHIND STORM SYSTEM.
ONE SURGE OF THE COLD FRONT HAS ALREADY PASSED, BUT EXPECT
ANOTHER SURGE OR TWO DURING THE OVERNIGHT TO MID MORNING FRIDAY
WITH GUSTS TO 20-25 KTS. THE STRONGER WINDS WITH GUSTS AROUND 25
KTS ARE THEN LIKELY TO PERSIST 16Z-00Z BEFORE DIMINISHING AND
TURNING TO LIGHT SOUTHWEST BY 06Z SATURDAY.

LOW STRATUS AND FOG WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD TERMINALS NEAR
AND EAST OF HWY 83 EARLY THIS MORNING, LEADING TO IFR/LIFR CIGS
AND VISIBILITIES. AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH BY LATE
MORNING, THE IFR/LIFR CIGS AND FOG WILL EXIT OFF TO THE EAST.
HOWEVER, MVFR CIGS AND SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA INTO
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
WINDS BECOME NORTHERLY AT ALL TERMINALS PRIOR TO SUNRISE AND
STRENGTHEN. WIDESPREAD NORTH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35KTS ARE EXPECTED
FOR ALL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

KGLD IS FORECAST TO SEE VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT MOVES IN, AROUND 8-11Z. CEILINGS ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO
IFR/LIFR AND A WAVE OF FOG MAY ALSO DROP VISIBILITIES TO IFR.
VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS SHOULD BOUNCE BACK TO MVFR BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT, AND LIKELY REMAIN THERE THROUGH THE REST OF THE
PERIOD. KMCK WILL SEE IFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE NIGHT,
COMING BACK UP TO MVFR AROUND 16Z TOMORROW MORNING.
LIGHT PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IS STILL FORECAST, BUT
HOW WIDESPREAD AND ITS INTENSITY IS STILL A BIT OF A QUESTION.
AS IT STANDS, THE PRECIPITATION POSES THE BIGGEST THREAT AROUND
22-3Z FOR KGLD AND 0-4Z FOR KMCK DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR
BLOWING SNOW.

FOG AND LOW STRATUS HAS DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINED ACROSS DDC, HYS,

BY AROUND 10Z, THE CEILINGS, VISIBILITIES, AND LLWS WILL SLOWLY

WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY TURN AND SHIFT OUT OF THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE
FRONT. ALL THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD IS FORECAST

OF THE STATE THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. THIS FRONT WILL BRING GUSTY
WINDS FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST ALONG WITH A SMATTERING OF LIGHT

CEILINGS OR VISIBILITY WILL TYPICALLY BE BRIEF AND TEMPORARY, BUT
A FEW LOCALIZED AREAS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND NEARBY
HIGHLANDS OF NORTH CENTRAL TO NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO COULD SEE
MVFR CONDITIONS (CEILINGS AT OR BELOW 3,000 FT AND/OR VISIBILITY
AT OR BELOW 5 MILES) FOR A COUPLE TO A FEW HOURS. MUCH OF EAST
CENTRAL TO NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO WILL BE POISED TO OBSERVE GUSTS
OF 35 TO 45 KT DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. WINDS WILL THEN DECREASE
