DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1135 UTC THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 435 AM MST THU JAN 22 2026
VFR WILL PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THIS TAF PERIOD, BUT AREAS OF
STRATUS AND MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED TOWARD 12Z FRIDAY. WITH REGARD
TO THE WINDS...LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
THROUGH ABOUT 15Z-16Z. THEN THEY'LL BECOME LIGHT AND VRB FOR A
COUPLE HOURS BEFORE MAKING THE TRANSITION TO NE-E WINDS AT 8-12
KTS 18Z AND BEYOND. HOWEVER, AFTER ABOUT 03Z FRIDAY THERE IS
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY WITH WIND PROGRESSION AS A WEAK CYCLONE
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP RIGHT NEAR KDEN. WHILE THAT WOULD ALMOST
CERTAINLY BRING NNW WINDS TO KBJC, OTHER AIRPORTS LIKE KAPA AND
KDEN WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF THE SHEAR ZONE/CYCLONE. AS A RESULT,
THE SLIGHTLY ENHANCED E-SE WINDS 00-03Z COULD BECOME VRB ANYTIME
AFTER 03Z, AND MORE LIKELY TOWARD 06Z. THERE IS HIGHER PROBABILITY
(BUT ONLY 50-60%) THAT WE TURN MORE NORTHERLY AT KDEN LATE IN THE
NIGHT AFTER 10Z. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE REMAINS QUITE LIMITED
DESPITE THE FRONTAL SURGE THROUGH TONIGHT, BUT EVENTUALLY WE
MOISTEN SUFFICIENTLY FOR AREAS OF STRATUS AROUND 2,000 FT AGL TO
DEVELOP AFTER 10Z, AND MOST LIKELY TOWARD 12Z-15Z FRIDAY.

ONE LAST DRY LOOKS TO BE PRESENT TODAY WITH CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO
STAY VFR FOR THE PRESENT PACKAGE. HOWEVER, THE ARRIVAL OF THE
COLD FRONT LATER TODAY WILL BE THE FIRST SIGNAL OF THE WEATHER
PATTER CHANGING WITH LATEST CAMS SUGGESTING IMPACTS TO CEILINGS
COULD BE FELT AT THE TERMINALS DURING THE OVERNIGHT. FOR NOW,
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH ON THE EXACT TIMING OF THIS CHANGING
CEILINGS TO PLACE IN THE PACKAGE. OTHERWISE, LOOK FOR SURFACE
WINDS TO START THIS MORNING OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST, BEFORE
TURNING NORTH WITH THE FRONT.
