DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2329 UTC WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 525 PM MDT WED JUN 17 2026
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS HAVE
MAINTAINED AN EASTERLY COMPONENT TODAY, THOUGH SPEEDS HAVE SLOWLY
DIMINISHED OVER THE LAST COUPLE HOURS. STILL EXPECT THE ARRIVAL
ANOTHER FRONT WITH A PUSH OF NE/NNE WINDS BY AROUND 03Z THIS
EVENING. WE COULD END UP WITH A FEW HOURS OF FEW-SCT060 OVERNIGHT
INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING BEHIND THE FRONT BUT LITTLE ELSE IS
EXPECTED. WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN AND TRY TO TURN SOUTHEASTERLY BY
THURSDAY MORNING.
QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED AGAIN ON THURSDAY. GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT A DIFFUSE CYCLONE OR BROAD SHEAR ZONE WILL DEVELOP
BY THE LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. CHANCES ARE BJC REMAINS
LIGHT NORTH/NORTHEAST AND APA MAINTAINS A SOUTHEASTERLY
DIRECTION... WITH DEN ENDING UP SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 531 PM MDT WED JUN 17 2026
WEAK COLD FRONT HAS BACKED ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS TODAY, AND IS
CURRENTLY SITTING IN A NW TO SE DIAGONAL ACROSS EL PASO AND PUEBLO
COUNTIES. THIS WILL MAKE WIND DIRECTIONS A PROBLEM AS THE FRONT
LAZILY CROSSES THE KCOS AND KPUB TERMINALS. A STRONGER COLD FRONT
WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE EASTERN CO PLAINS TONIGHT, BRINGING AN
INITIAL NE SHIFT, THAT WILL SWING AROUND TO A SE DIRECTION THROUGH
THE DAY THU.
THEREFORE, VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS FOR
THE FORECAST AREA, INCLUDING THE THREE MAIN TAF SITES OF KCOS, KPUB
AND KALS. MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE SHIFTING, GUSTY WINDS WITH GUSTS UP
TO 30 KTS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS, AFFECTING KCOS AND KPUB LATE
BETWEEN 05Z AND 11Z.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 511 PM MDT WED JUN 17 2026
BREEZY CONDITIONS CONTINUE AT KRKS AND KLND FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS,
BEFORE RELAXING OVERNIGHT. CIGS REMAIN VFR FOR ALL LOCATIONS
OVERNIGHT, WITH ONLY HIGH CIRRUS CONTINUING. ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY
WINDS BEGIN TO DEVELOP SUNDAY, WITH GUSTY WINDS AT KRKS AND KCPR
REACHING 25 TO 30KTS IN THE AFTERNOON.

ISSUED AT 2314 UTC WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 513 PM MDT WED JUN 17 2026
VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE TAF PERIOD AS CONDITIONS REMAIN DRY UNDER
LARGE-SCALE SUBSIDENCE. GUSTY N/NW WINDS OF 25-30 KNOTS WILL
GRADUALLY VEER TO MORE N/NE FOR THE WYOMING TERMINALS AFTER 06Z
WEAKENING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS AS A THERMAL LOW AND ASSOCIATED
INVERTED TROUGH TRANSLATES TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OVER SE COLORADO.
AFTER 12Z, LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS BELOW 10 KNOTS FOR ALL
TERMINALS. CALM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR ALL TERMINALS
EXCEPT FOR KLAR AND KRWL WHERE WNW WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15-20
KNOTS AFTER 21Z. KCDR AND KAIA MAY EXPERIENCE CIGS FROM 7-10 KFT
FROM 00Z TO 06Z DUE TO LOWER T/TD SPREADS AS RADIATIVE COOLING WILL
BE MORE EFFECTIVE AS WINDS WEAKEN OVERNIGHT, THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH (>80%) THAT CIGS REMAIN ABOVE MVFR CRITERIA.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/

VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST FOR THE TAFS. THE MAIN IMPACT WILL BE
THE INCREASE IN WINDS AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
WINDS WILL NOT INCREASE AS MUCH AS THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FROM
THIS MORNING; THIS PASSAGE WILL BE MUCH MORE MUTED IN INTENSITY.
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 505 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2026
A SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN ACROSS SOUTHWEST
KANSAS OVERNIGHT AS A COLD FRONT STALLS OVER NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA
AND A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE EASTERN COLORADO. THIS WILL
RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN THE EAST NORTHEAST TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS
BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z THURSDAY. IMPROVING ISENTROPIC LIFT NORTH OF
THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY LATE TONIGHT WILL PRODUCE VFR CEILINGS
AFTER 09Z. CEILINGS WILL DECREASE TO 5000-10000FT AGL AT HAYS
AND GARDEN CITY. CEILINGS IN THE 3000-5000FT AGL CAN BE EXPECTED
AT DODGE CITY AND LIBERAL WITH A 30-40% CHANCE OF MVFR
CONDITIONS (2000-3000FT AGL) AT LIBERAL BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z
