DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1120 UTC THURSDAY, MAY 14, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 506 AM MDT THU MAY 14 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. DRAINAGE FLOW OF
10-15 KTS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS FOR DEN AND APA
WHILE BJC WILL CONTINUE TO STAY LIGHT AND VRB THROUGH THE MORNING.
GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT OF WEST/NORTHWESTERLY WINDS TAKING
PLACE BY LATE MORNING (BETWEEN 16Z-19Z), WITH SPEEDS GENERALLY RANGING
FROM 12-17 KTS. A FEW GUSTS UP TO 20-25 KTS IS POSSIBLE,
PARTICULARLY IN THE MID-TO-LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING (BETWEEN 21Z
AND 01Z). THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (<30% CHANCE) OF ISOLATED
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON PRODUCING GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS. HOWEVER,
IF THIS MATERIALIZES, IT SHOULDN'T IMPACT THE AIRPORTS. APA HAS
THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE THESE OUTFLOW WINDS IF A STORM DOES POP UP.
TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN IS EXPECTED IN THE EVENING, WITH WINDS
TRANSITIONING TO DRAINAGE BY 06Z/07Z. SOME HI-RES GUIDANCE DOES
INDICATE EASTERLY WINDS HANGING AROUND TONIGHT FOR DEN AND BJC,
BUT DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE HAVE LEFT IT OUT OF THE TAF FOR NOW. IF
THIS WERE TO HAPPEN, IT WOULD MOST LIKELY OCCUR BETWEEN 02Z AND
06Z.

PUEBLO AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1121 UTC THURSDAY, MAY 14, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 515 AM MDT THU MAY 14 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT ALL
3 TAF SITES, KPUB, KALS AND KCOS.
AS FOR THE WINDS, CONFIDENCE IN THE WIND FORECAST AT KCOS IS
LOW. HIGH RESOLUTION GUIDANCE IS ALL OVER THE COMPASS FOR LOW
LEVEL WINDS AT KCOS THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. WILL HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR GUIDANCE FOR SURFACE WINDS AT KCOS
THROUGH THE DAY. REASON FOR THIS IS BLOCKING FROM PIKES PEAK AS
PREVAILING 700 MB FLOW IS DUE WEST.
CONFIDENCE IS IN THE WIND FCST AT KALS AND KPUB IS HIGHER.

SOUTH WINDS AT THE START OF THIS TAF PERIOD WILL GRADUALLY
BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY LATER THIS MORNING AS A SURFACE TROUGH AXIS
PUSHES EAST ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. IN VICINITY OF THIS TROUGH
AXIS, HIGH-BASED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP
IN THE DRY AIR MASS. WE WILL CONTINUE THE PROB30 GROUP FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE GREATEST RISK BEING VERY GUSTY WINDS IN
VICINITY OF STORMS. BY EARLY EVENING, THE THUNDERSTORM RISK WILL
WANE AND WINDS WILL SETTLE BACK DOWN TO 10 KNOTS OR LESS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD.
