SOMEWHERE OVER/NEAR THE DENVER AREA SUNDAY MORNING. A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS COLORADO SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
BRINGING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED/SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS.
CHANCE FOR A THUNDERSTORM AT THE DENVER AIRPORTS IS 20-30 PERCENT
AND OPTED TO GO WITH A PROB30 FOR THUNDERSTORMS 20-23Z SUNDAY.
CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO 3000-6000 FEET UNDER THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL LINGER PAST 00Z MONDAY,
AND ARE EXPECTED TO END BY 06Z MONDAY.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1055 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
VFR TO MVFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP AT KCOS AND KPUB BY 07Z AS
ENHANCED EAST TO SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE WINDS CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NIGHT. CIGS COULD DROP INTO THE IFR CATEGORY AT KCOS TOWARDS
MORNING WITH LOWER END MVFR CIGS AT KPUB TOWARDS DAWN. CIGS AT
BOTH TERMINALS WILL BREAK TOWARDS 18Z WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS INCREASING DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE SHIFTING FROM
THE SOUTHWEST AND GUSTING UP TO 40 KTS AS A BROKEN LINE OF
-SHRA/-TSRA MOVES OFF THE MOUNTAINS AND PASSES THROUGH THE
TERMINALS AROUND 20-21Z. KCOS WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE OF -TSRA
AT THE TERMINAL WHICH WILL BE CARRIED IN A PROB30 GROUP
THROUGH 00Z. KPUB IS MORE LIKELY TO SEE ENHANCED OUTFLOW WINDS
BUT NO RAINFALL, SO VCSH SHOULD SUFFICE TO REFLECT CONVECTIVE
ENHANCEMENT TO THE WIND. OTHERWISE WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE
WEST TO NORTHWEST AT BOTH TERMINALS AND DECREASE TOWARDS
03-04Z.
ENHANCED SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AT KALS WITH
VCSH POSSIBLE AT TIMES THROUGH SUN MORNING. WINDS PICK UP IN
EARNEST AROUND 16Z WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING UP TO 35 MPH BY
LATE MORNING AND UP TO 45 MPH THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS COULD PASS IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL
DURING THE AFTERNOON, BUT ODDS LOOK LOWER THAN THIS MORNING SO
WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE AFTERNOON TAF PERIODS JUST YET. -KT

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1141 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
OVERNIGHT SHOWERS WILL COVER MOST OF THE AREA WITH ILS TO IFR
CONDITIONS DEVELOPING IN LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CLOUDS.
AS WE MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY, INSTABILITY INCREASES INTRODUCING
THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES
COULD LEAD TO IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. GUSTY WINDS
NEAR STORMS AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS WELL.

THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES
COULD LEAD TO IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. GUSTY WINDS
NEAR STORMS AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS WELL.

AN INCOMING SYSTEM WILL BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IMPACTS TO
TERMINALS THIS PERIOD. RAIN AND SNOW WILL BEGIN INCREASING ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING BETWEEN 10Z AND 12Z, BRINGING MVFR IMPACTS TO
KRKS AND THEN IFR IMPACTS TO KBPI AND KPNA. MOSTLY RAIN IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY, WITH PRECIPITATION SPREADING EAST OF THE
DIVIDE BY LATE MORNING. MVFR TO IFR IMPACTS ARE THEN EXPECTED AT
MOST TERMINALS THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING, WITH RAIN TRANSITIONING BACK
TO SNOW AFTER 00Z MONDAY AND FOCUSING MOST ON AREAS EAST OF THE
DIVIDE. THE MOST PERSISTENT IFR IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED AT KCPR, KLND,
AND KRIW. CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY IMPROVE FOR KBPI, KJAC, AND KPNA
AFTER 00Z MONDAY. FREQUENT MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD AFTER 12Z TODAY.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1055 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN NEAR THE COLORADO AND WYOMING BORDER
TONIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY LIFTING NORTHEAST SLOWLY AS A WARM FRONT AHEAD
OF THE NEXT PACIFIC UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. WIDESPREAD LOW CIGS AND
IFR CONDITIONS, PERIODS OF RAIN AND SNOW, AND SOME FOG POSSIBLE IN
BETWEEN BANDS OF SHOWERS THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: IFR CIGS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WITH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS. EXPECT
THESE WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF SUNDAY, SO TRANSITIONED TO
PREVAILING IFR TO LIFR CIGS FOR ALL WESTERN NEBRASKA TERMINALS. KCDR
WILL BE THE LAST TO SEE IFR CONDITIONS...TOWARDS DAYBREAK SUNDAY.
PERIODS OF RAINFALL AND/OR SNOW/RAIN MIX WILL RESULT IN BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS AT TIMES.
LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS WITH SOME DELAY
IN TIMING AND ANOTHER BAND OF SNOW LIFTING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING. KLAR AND KRWL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING
ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL FROM THIS WARM FRONT AS IT SLOWLY LIFTS NORTH,
SO ADDED SOME MENTION OF SNOW AND IFR CONDITIONS. KCYS HAS THE BEST
CHANCE TO SEE LOCALLY DENSE FOG WITH MODELS BECOMING MORE AGGRESSIVE
WITH LOWERING VIS. ADDED VIS BETWEEN 1/2 TO 1 MILE THROUGH 13Z
SUNDAY.

ISSUED AT 1114 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
LOW CEILINGS WILL IMPACT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY SUNDAY. AT KMCK,
MORNING SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL
RESULT IN OCCASIONAL VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS, ENDING BY AROUND
17Z. AT KGLD, MID AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE, WITH ABOUT A 30% CHANCE OF DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE
TERMINAL WITH REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS. A SEVERE
STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT KGLD, WHICH WOULD ADDITIONALLY
BRING A THREAT OF HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1126 PM CDT SAT APR 25 2026
LOW CLOUD STRATUS IS AGAIN EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGHOUT
MUCH OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY. EXPECTING SUB IFR OR LOWER CIG
CATEGORIES THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE PERIOD AS CLOUDS LINGER
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. THERE IS STILL A RISK OF SOME
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA, BUT AGAIN, VERY ISOLATED NATURE WILL
PRECLUDE ME FROM MAKING MENTION OF THEM IN THE TAFS. SOME
MOMENTS OF DRIZZLE AND LIGHT RAIN WILL BE ADDED TO HYS, WHERE
THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION EXISTS THERE. WINDS WILL
BE 10-15 KNOTS.

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME STRONG BY MID-TO-LATE MORNING SUNDAY
WITH GUSTS FROM 35-45 KT IN THE AFTERNOON, EXCEPT FOR PEAK GUSTS
AROUND 50 KT FROM LAS VEGAS SOUTHWARD TO SANTA ROSA, GRAN QUIVIRA,
RUIDOSO, AND DUNKEN. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY SATURDAY NIGHT IN
THE MOUNTAINS, ALONG ADJACENT EAST SLOPES, AND ALSO ACROSS THE
EASTERN PLAINS. IN ADDITION, SCATTERED-TO-ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TODAY MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE
SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS, WHERE THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION AS WELL. THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU GO FROM THE
CO BORDER, THE LIGHTER THE SHOWERS WILL BE. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE
SOME GUSTY VIRGA SHOWERS IN THE MIX THE CLOSER YOU GET TO I-40 ON
THE SOUTH END OF THE SHOWERY AREA. INSTABILITY LOOKS SUFFICIENT
SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR ISOLATED AND GUSTY DRY THUNDERSTORMS FROM LAS
VEGAS TO RATON, AND ALSO FROM RATON TO CLAYTON, ON THE EAST END OF
THE SHOWERY AREA. IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT SNOW
TODAY ABOVE 9,000 FEET IN ELEVATION MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINS NEAR
THE CO BORDER, WHERE MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE THE MOST
PERSISTENT.
