PUEBLO AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1916 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1202 PM MDT THU APR 30 2026
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PERIOD ARE WITH PERIODS OF RAIN
THROUGH MUCH OF TONIGHT, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON, AND WITH MVFR AND IFR CEILINGS.
RADAR IMAGERY HAS SHOWN A LULL IN THE PRECIP DEVELOPMENT HERE
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD AND ANTICIPATE THIS TO CONTINUE FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. BY MID AFTERNOON, EXPECT COVERAGE AND
EVEN INTENSITY OF THE RAIN SHOWERS TO INCREASE, ESPECIALLY AT
COS AND PUB. FOR ALS, DEVELOPMENT DOES SPREAD SOUTH BUT WITH
LOWER CONFIDENCE ON EXACT IMPACTS AND DURATION, HAVE MAINTAINED
THE PROB30 GROUP FOR SHOWERS. THERE IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE FOR COS
AND PUB FOR THESE SHOWERS AND MADE NO CHANGES TO THIS IN THE
PREVAILING GROUPS. NO CHANGES NEEDED TO THE MENTION OF THUNDER
FOR COS AND PUB, WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR THUNDER STILL
EXPECTED AT COS LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
THUNDER CHANCES QUICKLY END EARLY THIS EVENING, THOUGH RAIN WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE AT PUB AND COS. THINKING PRECIP TYPE THIS
EVENING INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING SHOULD STAY ALL RAIN, BUT
SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT, A PERIOD OF A RAIN SNOW MIX IS POSSIBLE
AT COS. SO, DID INCLUDE PROB30 GROUP TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
TONIGHT. AT THIS TIME, IMPACTS FROM ANY SNOW SHOULD BE LIMITED.
PRECIP DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED TO DIMINISH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THE CURRENT MVFR CEILINGS IN PLACE AT COS
AND PUB WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD, AND LIKELY FALL TO
IFR FOR COS FOR A PERIOD EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. OVERALL IMPROVING
TRENDS LIKELY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.
WINDS GENERALLY STAY LIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD, WITH EVEN A
DIURNAL COMPONENT TO THEM. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE AT ALS, WHERE A
PERIOD OF GUSTIER NORTHERLY WINDS ARE LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON, PRIMARILY AROUND THE MOUNTAINS. A FEW ADJACENT
VALLEYS COULD SEE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AS SHOWERS MOVE OFF OF THE
TERRAIN. INCLUDED TEMPO WIND CONDITIONS AT SEVERAL TERMINALS TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE GUSTY WINDS. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME SMALL HAIL
TODAY AS WELL. BREAKPOINT CEILINGS WILL BE A PROBLEM TOO, AS THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH. NORTHWEST COLORADO AND
NORTHEAST UTAH WILL SEE CONDITIONS IMPROVE THIS EVENING, WITH
THE DIVIDE MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHWEST COLORADO HOLDING ON TO CLOUDS
AND PRECIPITATION INTO THE MORNING HOURS OF FRIDAY AND BEYOND.

TERMINAL THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH TYPICAL DIURNAL WIND CHANGES.
CURRENT NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO SOUTHEAST
AROUND 04Z. THERE IS A 10-20% CHANCE OF BRIEF SHOWERS NEAR THE
TERMINAL LATER THIS AFTERNOON, WHICH MAY PRODUCE GUSTY AND ERRATIC
WINDS. ANY OUTFLOW WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 25KTS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST FOR THE ENTIRE AIRSPACE THROUGH THE PERIOD. DIURNAL
CUMULUS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON, WITH

BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWERS. WINDS
REMAIN LIGHT ACROSS NEARLY ALL TERMINALS WITH ONLY KCOD AND KRKS
SEEING A BREEZE OF 15-25 KNOTS DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
THEN BECOME LIGHT ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND
