AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 452 AM MDT FRI MAR 13 2026
WINDS AT DIA HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE ALL NIGHT AS THEY HAVE REMAINED
FROM THE WEST AND GUSTY AT TIMES. TO COMPLICATE THINGS EVEN
FURTHER, THERE IS A COOL FRONT JUST TO THE NE AND E OF DIA WHICH
HAS BEEN SLOWLY TRYING TO MOVE WESTWARD. IF THE WESTERLIES WEAKEN,
THEN MAY SEE A BRIEF WIND SHIFT TO THE EAST BEFORE THINGS MIX OUT
LATER THIS MORNING. ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF THIS FRONT, SMOKE
FROM FIRES OVER NEBRASKA HAS BEEN MOVING WESTWARD ACROSS THE
PLAINS OVERNIGHT. VISIBILITY ON SOME SENSORS HAS DROPPED DOWN
TO 1-3 MILES. AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY A 10 PERCENT
CHANCE OF VISBILITY RESTRICTIONS THIS MORNING AT DIA IF THE COOL
FRONT WERE TO MOVE ACROSS.
DON'T THINK THE COOL FRONT WILL AFFECT APA OR BJC. WINDS HAVE BEEN
GUSTING ALL NIGHT AT BJC FROM THE WNW SO WINDS MAY JUST STAY GUSTY
FROM THE WEST OR WNW ALL MORNING.
BY 16Z SHOULD SEE DECENT MIXING OCCUR WITH WINDS MAINLY FROM THE
WEST AT APA AND DIA. BY 19Z, WINDS AT ALL OF THE AIRPORTS SHOULD
BE WNW WITH GUSTS FROM 30 TO 35 MPH THRU THE AFTN.
FOR TONIGHT, WINDS SHOULD DECREASE BY 01Z AND BECOME MORE SW OR
SSW BY 05Z.
FINALLY, VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THRU THE PERIOD EXCEPT FOR
A 10% CHANCE OF LOWER VISBILITY AT DIA THRU 15Z DUE TO SMOKE
BEHIND THE COOL FRONT.

WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KJAC/KRKS/KPNA/KBPI TERMINALS
CONTINUED MID-LEVEL CLOUD DECK AT KJAC IN STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD, WITH OCCASIONAL SIMILAR DECKS AT
KPNA AND KBPI. THE ARRIVAL OF A QUICK-MOVING SHORTWAVE PROVIDES FOR
A PROB30 OF MVFR AND LIGHT SNOW AT KJAC JUST BEFORE 18Z/SATURDAY.
OTHER TERMINALS REMAIN DRY AND VFR. THE PRIMARY HAZARD REMAINS GUSTY
WESTERLY WIND 34-48KTS AT KRKS AND 25-35KTS ELSEWHERE UNTIL AROUND
01Z-03Z/SATURDAY. SPEEDS DECREASE AFTER THAT TIME BUT REMAIN BREEZY.
WESTERLY SURFACE WIND AGAIN INCREASES 15Z-17Z/SATURDAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS WITH AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE. KJAC SEES
LOWERING CEILINGS LATE SATURDAY MORNING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
LATE MORNING MVFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT SNOW. MOUNTAIN TOPS OBSCURED.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCPR/KCOD/KRIW/KLND/KWRL TERMINALS
WIND IS AGAIN THE PRIMARY AVIATION HAZARD THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD AS ALL TERMINALS REMAIN VFR. WESTERLY SURFACE WIND 25-40KTS
WILL BE COMMON FRIDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE DECREASING 01Z-03Z/SATURDAY.
THE WIND RETURNS 15Z-17Z/SATURDAY WITH COMMON SPEEDS 34-46KTS PRIOR
TO 18Z. KWRL IS THE EXCEPTION AS MIXING MAY OCCUR THERE SHORTLY
