AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 430 AM MST SAT JAN 31 2026
THE WORST OF THE VISIBILITY AND CEILING RESTRICTIONS HAS PASSED,
WITH S/SW WINDS GAINING PROMINENCE AT THIS HOUR, AND CURRENTLY
EXTENDING TO JUST AROUND THE WELD/ADAMS COUNTY LINE. SEE LITTLE
REASON FOR ANY W OR N COMPONENT TO RETURN IN ANY CAPACITY PRIOR TO
DAYTIME MIXING, SO THE FORECAST ANTICIPATES A STEADY LIFTING OF
VIS/CIG RESTRICTIONS THROUGH 13-14Z. CLEARING IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR
RATHER QUICKLY, AND VFR CONDITIONS MAY RETURN SLIGHTLY EARLIER
THAN CURRENTLY ADVERTIZED FOR KBJC AND KDEN IF CURRENT TRENDS
HOLD.
PAST 14Z THIS MORNING, VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR
ALL TERMINALS, WITH A GRADUAL DIMINISHMENT OF MID- AND HIGH-LEVEL
CLOUD COVER THROUGH THE DAY. ACARS SOUNDINGS INDICATE
STRENGTHENING NW FLOW IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE LOW-LEVEL INVERSION.
ONCE THIS INVERSION IS ERODED (~17Z, OR 18Z AT THE LATEST), THESE
BREEZIER WINDS WITH DIRECTION 300-340 WILL MIX DOWN QUICKLY AND
EFFICIENTLY. HAVE INTRODUCED A MENTION OF GUSTS INTO THE MID 20 KT
RANGE AS WE ENTER THE AFTERNOON HOURS. EXPECT SPEEDS TO REDUCE
JUST AS QUICKLY BETWEEN 23-01Z, WITH A PERIOD OF LIGHTER AND MORE
VRB FLOW GIVING WAY TO TYPICAL SSW DRAINAGE PATTERNS LATER THIS
EVENING.

FOR KGLD: MVFR STRATUS WITH A FEW POCKETS OF IFR STRATUS IS
LINGERING OVER EASTERN ND AND FAR NORTHWEST ND WITH THE EDGE OF THIS
STRATUS LAYER NEAR KGLD. THIS STRATUS LAYER IS EXPECTED TO LINGER
NEAR THE TAF SITE UNTIL LATE MORNING WHEN IT BEGINS TO SHIFT TO THE
EAST AND SOUTHEAST AND LIFT IT AS A RESULT OF DAYTIME MIXING AND A
WAVE PASSING TO THE NORTH SHIFTING FLOW TO A DRIER DIRECTION OFF THE
SURFACE. ONCE THIS STRATUS FULLY CLEARS BY MIDDAY VFR SHOULD THEN
PREVAIL AT KGLD. WINDS FROM THE SOUTH 12-16KT ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE 21-23Z PERIOD, WITH PERIODIC GUSTS TO 25KT. WINDS DECREASE BELOW
12KT AND SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST THEN WEST LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING AS
LOW PRESSURE BUILDS EAST.
FOR KMCK: VFR CONDITIONS ARE IN PLACE AND SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE
TAF PERIOD. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY IF
SNOW SHOWERS MOVE OVER THE TERMINAL LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON,
HOWEVER COVERAGE/CHANCES ARE LOW AT THIS TIME. WINDS WILL FOLLOW
SIMILAR TRENDS AS KGLD WITH STRONGEST SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND DECREASING SHIFTING WINDS TO THE SOUTHWEST THEN WEST
THIS EVENING.
