DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 541 PM MDT TUE MAR 24 2026
VFR CONDITIONS TO PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WINDS HAVE BECOME
LIGHT AT THE DENVER AIRPORTS AND ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT AND
VARIABLE BEFORE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST DRAINAGE WINDS KICK IN 03-06Z. FOR
WEDNESDAY, THE WIND PATTERN AFTER 18Z BECOMES MESSY, AS A SURFACE
TROUGH DEEPENS ALONG THE BASE OF THE FOOTHILLS (FAVORING EASTERLY
WINDS), AND DEEP MIXING UP TO 500MB (FAVORING WESTERLY WINDS)
OCCURS. MODELS GENERALLY FAVOR A WESTERLY DIRECTION, BUT WOULDN'T
BE SURPRISED IF LIGHTER VARIABLE WINDS OCCUR. HIGH BASED CUMULUS
CLOUDS DEVELOP AFTER 21Z WEDNESDAY. ISOLATED VIRGA SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED TO FORM, WITH NO RAIN EXPECTED TO REACH THE GROUND.
HOWEVER, A FEW AREAS MAY SEE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THIS.

AVIATION...KSLC
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS THE DOMINATING INFLUENCE,
BRINGING VFR CONDITIONS. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
THE REST OF THE NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. A SHIFT TO
NORTHWESTERLY IS EXPECTED AROUND 18-19Z WEDNESDAY. THERE IS A 20%
CHANCE OF OCCASIONAL LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OR VIRGA WEDNESDAY EVENING
BETWEEN 00-07Z, ALTHOUGH ASSOCIATED CIGS SHOULD LARGELY REMAIN ABOVE
6KFT. THE DIURNAL WIND SHIFT TO SOUTHERLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL
LIKELY EITHER BE DELAYED OR NOT OCCUR AT ALL.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE ONGOING
PATTERN AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL. SOME HIGH CLOUDS WILL
FILTER IN OVERHEAD AT NORTHERN TERMINALS TONIGHT, BUT VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAIL AREAWIDE. WINDS WILL TEND TO FOLLOW A DIURNALLY NORMAL
PATTERN, WITH SOME MODEST GUSTS MIXING IN AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND
EXPOSED TERMINALS (E.G. EVW/CDC) WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
