DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1802 UTC WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 AM MDT WED MAR 25 2026
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS ARE CURRENTLY GUSTING
FROM THE NORTHWEST AT ALL TERMINALS, WITH APA AND BJC GUSTING THE
STRONGEST (UP TO 23 KTS AT TIMES). WINDS AT DEN SHOULD CONTINUE
TO STAY BELOW 20 KTS. HOWEVER, A ROGUE GUST UP TO 22 KTS IS
POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS. AFTER 22Z-23Z, LIGHT AND VRB
WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT DEN AND APA, AS THEY GRADUAL TURN CLOCKWISE
TO DRAINAGE BY 05Z (BJC SHOULD CONTINUE TO GUST FROM THE
NORTHWEST THROUGH 01Z).
FOR TOMORROW, DRAINAGE WINDS WILL HOLD ON TILL TILL MID-MORNING.
GUIDANCE HAS INDICATED A LIGHT PRE-COLD FRONT SURGE FOR DEN AND
BJC (APA SHOULD SEE NW WINDS INSTEAD), WITH WINDS COMING FROM
350-020 DEGREES (GENERALLY UNDER 10 KTS). SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH
TIMING OF COLD FRONT (COULD BE BETWEEN 21Z AND 02Z). FOR NOW, HAVE
DECIDED TO GO WITH 21Z. BUT THIS MAY BE DELAYED BY A COUPLE OF
HOURS. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT, WINDS COULD INITIALLY GUST
UP TO 35 KTS. WITH THIS MAGNITUDE OF WINDS, BLOWING DUST IS A
POSSIBILITY SO HAVE INTRODUCED A TEMPO FOR BLDU WITH 6SM
VISIBILITY BETWEEN 21Z AND 23Z. HOWEVER, THE TIMING OF THE TEMPO
GROUP WILL DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT. MID-LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL BE ADVECTED INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT,
RESULTING IN LOWERING OF CEILINGS BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON (SHOULD
STAY ABOVE 6000 FT).

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1720 UTC WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
LIGHT DIURNALLY NORMAL WINDS PERSIST THROUGH THE
DAYTIME WEDNESDAY, WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE IN VFR CLOUD COVER
THROUGHOUT. WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL
SEE A NARROW BAND OF HIGH BASED SHOWERS DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH.
MOST LIKELY IMPACTS WOULD BE SLIGHT LOWERING/THICKENING OF VFR CLOUD
DECK, AND SOME PERIODS OF GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. NEAR SUNRISE
THURSDAY A MORE MARKED SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL PUSH THROUGH, HELPING
TO SOLIDIFY NORTHWEST WINDS AND LEAD TO GRADUAL CLEARING THEREAFTER.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE
DIURNALLY NORMAL WINDS AND VFR SKIES AT AREA TERMINALS ONCE AGAIN
THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY EVENING, A NARROW BAND OF
HIGH BASED SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO FORM ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH TO
SOUTHWEST WYOMING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT. THESE ISOLATED
SHOWERS WILL LIKELY BE HIGH BASED IN NATURE, WITH BIGGEST IMPACTS
BEING GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS AND SOME SLIGHT LOWERING TO VFR
CIGS. AROUND SUNRISE THE SURFACE FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH NORTHERN
TERMINALS, REINFORCING NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BEHIND IT. SKIES THEN
GRADUALLY CLEAR THROUGH THE DAY, WITH THE FRONT REACHING SOUTHERN
TERMINALS BY LATE AFTERNOON.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1226 PM CDT WED MAR 25 2026
MAIN AVIATION HAZARD WILL BE LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR DEVELOPING
OVERNIGHT, DUE TO A LOW-LEVEL JET FROM THE SSW, AS DEPICTED IN RAP
FORECAST SOUNDINGS. OTHERWISE, VERY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR
PREVAILING AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, WITH EVEN HIGH
CLOUD COVERAGE VERY SPOTTY. NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY WINDS HAVE
FILTERED INTO THE NW PANHANDLES BUT SHOULD SHIFT MORE SOUTHERLY AS
THE AFTERNOON DEEPER MIXING ENSUES. GUSTY WINDS RETURN TO KAMA BY
LATE MORNING THURSDAY.
