DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0034 UTC TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 633 PM MDT MON APR 6 2026
A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT IS CURRENTLY PRESENT OVER THE AREA
LEADING TO SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 20
TO 30 KTS, ESPECIALLY AT KAPA AND KDEN. WINDS WILL BE UNDER 10
KTS FOLLOWING THIS PERIOD UNTIL AT LEAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON AT ALL
THREE TAF SITES. GUIDANCE IS LEANING TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
LOWER CLOUD DECK AROUND 10Z TO 15Z. THE LATEST NAM AND HRRR RUNS
SHOW 850 MB RELATIVE HUMIDITY BETWEEN 60% AND 80% AT THAT TIME.
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY, SO WE WENT AHEAD WITH A SCT DECK
AT 3000 FEET WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR A BKN DECK AT 1000 FEET TO
DEPICT THIS POTENTIAL.
THE LATEST HI-RES GUIDANCE DEVELOPS A CYCLONE IN THE SOUTHERN
URBAN CORRIDOR ON TUESDAY MORNING. THIS IS EXPECTED TO LEAD TO A
PERIOD OF LIGHT AND VRB WINDS AS THE CYCLONE PASSES NEAR/OVER KAPA
AND KDEN FROM AROUND 14Z TO 19Z. WINDS WILL THEN TURN AND SETTLE
IN AN E TO SE DIRECTION AROUND 19Z AT KAPA AND KDEN, WHILE KBJC
WILL HAVE W TO NW WINDS AROUND 19Z. ISOLATED HIGH-BASED SHOWERS
(10-20%) WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE THREE TAF SITES TOMORROW AFTERNOON
STARTING AROUND 19Z TO 21Z. THESE COULD PRODUCE STRONG AND GUSTY
OUTFLOW WINDS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 20 TO 30 KTS POSSIBLE UNTIL
AROUND 00Z WEDNESDAY. FINALLY, A STRONGER THAN TYPICAL DRAINAGE
FLOW WILL SET IN EARLY TUESDAY EVENING (AROUND 2Z WED) WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 10 TO 15 KTS POSSIBLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE
IN RESPONSE TO A DEVELOPING LEE TROUGH.
