DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 500 PM MDT WED JUL 1 2026
DENVER CYCLONE IS CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF KAPA, AND IS SLOW TO MOVE
EAST SO THAT COULD DELAY THE EXPECTED WIND SHIFT TO N-NW BEHIND
THE CYCLONE. ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE CYCLONE, ENHANCED
E WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 24-28 KTS ARE OCCURRING, AND WILL HOLD
TIL 02Z-03Z OR AS WINDS START SHIFTING NORTHERLY. AS MENTIONED,
THAT NOW APPEARS TO BE A SLOWER TRANSITION SO WE'VE DELAYED THAT
MORE NORTHERLY SHIFT TO AROUND 01Z FOR KAPA (MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS
CYCLONE IS VERY CLOSE HERE AND COULD ALSO HAVE VRB WINDS), AND TO
ABOUT 03Z-04Z FOR KDEN. KBJC SHOULD SEE A LITTLE EARLIER AND MORE
GRADUAL SHIFT 00Z-02Z. THERE IS STILL A SMALL (20% CHANCE) THAT
VIRGA DEVELOPS OVER THE AIRPORT FOR VRB GUSTY WINDS.
WINDS SHOULD TURN MORE NW-WSW OVERNIGHT, AND THEN BECOME VRB AGAIN
BY 15-16Z THURSDAY. EXPECT A MORE DIURNAL E WIND TO DEVELOP BY 18Z
THURSDAY BUT WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER THAN TODAY (8-14 KTS).
ADDITIONALLY, WE STILL EXPECT ENOUGH SMOKE FROM SOUTHERN COLORADO
FIRES TO IMPACT OPERATIONS THROUGH THE EVENING. THUS, IMC IS
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH 03Z DUE TO LIMITED SLANT RANGE
VISIBILITY. WE'RE ALSO SEEING SIGNS OF A MORE WSW FLOW TOMORROW
WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BRING IN EVEN THICKER SMOKE FROM
SOUTHWESTERN CO FIRES AND SOME VISIBILITY RESTRICTION DOWN TO
5-6SM POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON. THUS, WE'VE GONE WITH THE 6SM FU
FOR NOW TO ADDRESS THAT EXPECTED THICKENING.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION, ISSUED 1011 PM MDT WED JUL 1 2026
SOUTHERLY WINDS RETURN AROUND 05Z AND ARE THEN
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH 18-20Z AT WHICH TIME NORTHWEST WINDS
RETURN. THERE IS AROUND A 10% CHANCE HIGH BASED CONVECTION
DEVELOPS NEARBY AND PRODUCES GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS, WHICH WOULD
CARRY POTENTIAL FOR PROLONGED SOUTHERLY WINDS OR A PERIOD OF
VARIABILITY. MID AND UPPER LEVEL VFR CLOUD COVER PERSISTS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...OUTFLOW MAY RESULT IN SOME
CONTINUED VARIABILITY AT NORTHERN TERMINALS FOR A PERIOD, BUT
OTHERWISE EXPECT TYPICAL DIURNAL WINDS TO LARGELY PREVAIL AT AREA
TAF SITES. FOR NORTHERN TERMINALS (ESPECIALLY IN SW WY, OR NEAR THE
ID BORDER), THERE IS AROUND A 10-20% CHANCE HIGH BASED CONVECTION
RESULTS IN GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
AREAWIDE, MID TO UPPER LEVEL VFR CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TO PERSIST.

ISSUED AT 1037 UTC THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 433 AM MDT THU JUL 2 2026
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY. THE
MAIN CONCERN TODAY WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
(20 TO 40 PERCENT CHANCE) AFTER 19Z, WITH THE MOST NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE WESTERN TERMINALS, WITH GRADUALLY
DECREASING CHANCES EAST OF THE DIVIDE. UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES
WITH PINPOINTING THE STORMS, SO PROB30 GROUPS WERE INCLUDED AT
ALL TERMINALS. THE EXCEPTIONS WERE IN VICINITY OF KRKS, WHERE
VCTS WAS INCLUDED WITH THE CHANCE UNDER 20 PERCENT. AT CASPER,
NO PRECIPITATION WAS INCLUDED WITH THE CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM
LESS THAN 10 PERCENT. STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT
WITH ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. WIND WILL INCREASE A BIT AT
SOME TERMINALS, WITH THE STRONGEST WIND EXCEPTED AFTER 20Z AT
KRKS WHERE GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 22Z. ELSEWHERE,
GUSTS SHOULD BE 20 KNOTS OR LESS EXCEPT IN AND AROUND ANY SHOWER
OR THUNDERSTORM. MOST CONVECTION SHOULD END AFTER SUNSET, WITH
ALL CONVECTION ENDING BY 08Z FRIDAY.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1139 PM MDT WED JUL 1 2026
THE HRRR AND NAM NEST ARE TOO EXCITED ABOUT THESE STORMS
INTENSITY AND PROGRESSION. MEANING THERE IS NOT A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW
MORNING RIGHT NOW. THE CURRENT STORMS ARE TRACKING TO GO RIGHT
OVER KIMBALL AND MOVE NORTHEAST AND END UP IN BETWEEN KAIA AND
KSNY FOR VCTS. THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE SHOWER POPPING UP JUST
SOUTHWEST OF KCYS THAT MAY GIVE US SOME LIGHT RAIN AND A WEAK
THUNDERSTORM. THE LOW LEVEL JET LOOKS TO KICK IN OVERNIGHT AS
THIS SHORTWAVE LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST. WINDS ARE LIKELY TO
VARIABLE AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS BUT I CAN'T PUT ANYTHING OVER 6 KNOTS
WITHOUT A TSRA WITH IT.

EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL

TODAY. MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS (CIGS 9000FT AGL OR HIGHER)

WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS BEING POSSIBLE IN THE GARDEN CITY AREA
BETWEEN 22Z TODAY AND 02Z FRIDAY. THESE STORMS WILL THEN MOVE
INTO THE HAYS AREA BETWEEN 00Z FRIDAY AND 03Z FRIDAY. CURRENTLY
DODGE CITY LOOKS TO BE ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THESE STORMS SO
HAVE DECIDED TO NOT INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS
TIME GIVEN THE LOW PROBABILITY (<15%). SOUTHERLY WINDS AT
AROUND 10 KNOTS THIS MORNING WILL INCREASE INTO THE 20 TO 25
KNOT RANGE BETWEEN 15Z AND 20Z AS SKIES CLEAR.
