AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1149 PM MDT TUE APR 7 2026
VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. DRAINAGE FLOW SHOULD PERSIST
OVERNIGHT, BEFORE A TURN TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST LATE WEDNESDAY
MORNING. MAIN QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH WIND WILL MIX DOWN DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. GUIDANCE GENERALLY FAVORS UP TO AROUND 25KT
GUSTS AT BJC/DEN WITH WEAKER WINDS AT APA.
AT SOME POINT IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING, A WEAK BACKDOOR
FRONT SHOULD PUSH BACK TOWARDS THE TERMINALS. GUIDANCE REMAINS
RATHER UNCERTAIN WITH THE TIMING OF THIS WIND SHIFT, WITH MOS
GUIDANCE FAVORING A TURN TO THE NE AS SOON AS 21Z WHILE MOST
DETERMINISTIC CAMS HOLDING OFF CLOSER TO 02-05Z. NO SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES WERE MADE FROM THE PREVIOUS TAF HERE AS MUCH OF THE PRIOR
REASONING FROM THE 00Z AFD UPDATE WAS STILL RELEVANT.

A LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP TOWARD 12-14Z AND MIX TO THE
