DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 601 PM MDT MON APR 28 2025
ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE DIMINISHING, BUT VARIABLE WINDS ASSOCIATED
WITH THOSE WILL HAVE SOME IMPACTS TIL 01Z-02Z. A COLD FRONT IS ON
TRACK TO REACH KDEN BY 0130Z, AND KAPA BY 0230Z WITH A PERIOD OF
GUSTY NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS TO 30 KTS. BEHIND THAT FRONT, THE MAIN
CONCERN SHIFTS TO STRATUS. UPSTREAM OBS STILL HAVE WIDESPREAD
STRATUS, SO DESPITE THE LATEST GUIDANCE STILL BEING BEARISH ON
THIS POTENTIAL WE'LL HAVE MVFR CEILINGS FORECAST 06Z-15Z.
ANY STRATUS TUESDAY MORNING SHOULD QUICKLY BURN OFF, WITH
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS GRADUALLY INCREASING FROM THE LATE MORNING
INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. GUSTS TO 20-25 KNOTS EXPECTED.
OTHER CONCERN WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. WE THINK IT'LL
BE A LATE DAY OCCURRENCE MAINLY AFTER 22Z AND AT LEAST ENOUGH FOR
A PROB30 -TSRA WITH GUSTY WINDS.

SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 2-3
HOURS BEFORE DIMINISHING. THESE SHOWERS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
BRIEF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS,
ALONG WITH LOWERED CEILINGS. SOME LOCATIONS MAY SEE CEILINGS
DROP BRIEFLY BELOW BREAKPOINTS WITH PASSING SHOWERS. AS ACTIVITY
TAPERS OFF TONIGHT, WINDS WILL BECOME GENERALLY LIGHT AND
TERRAIN DRIVEN UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KJAC/KRKS/KPNA/KBPI TERMINALS
KJAC SEES LOW-END VFR UNTIL AROUND SUNSET EARLY IN THE FORECAST AS
WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE MOVES TO THE EAST. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH
CLEARING TONIGHT TO ALLOW FOR MVFR CEILINGS TO FORM PRIOR TO SUNRISE
GIVEN A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER. THESE LOWER CEILINGS SHOULD DISSIPATE
BETWEEN 15Z-17Z/TUESDAY AS MID/HIGH CLOUD COVER ARRIVES AHEAD OF THE
NEXT WEATHER DISTURBANCE. THE REMAINING TERMINALS SEE VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH PROB30 BRIEF LOW-END VFR SHOWERS LATE UNTIL
02Z/TUESDAY. GUSTY WEST-NORTHWEST WIND 12-22KTS AT KRKS/KBPI/KPNA
SLOWS BY EARLY EVENING, AND KRKS SEES A SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST
BEHIND A SURFACE COLD FRONT. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR LOCALIZED MVFR
AROUND KRKS UNTIL 05Z/TUESDAY. MOUNTAIN TOPS FREQUENTLY
OBSCURED UNTIL 15Z/TUESDAY.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCPR/KCOD/KRIW/KLND/KWRL TERMINALS
SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS SHIFT ALMOST ENTIRELY TO CENTRAL
WYOMING TO BEGIN THE PERIOD. CONDITIONS GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO VFR
FROM NORTH-TO-SOUTH MONDAY EVENING REACHING A KLND-KCPR LINE BY THAT
TIME. HOWEVER, FAVORED UPSLOPE FLOW AND BETTER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
MAY ALLOW FOR LINGERING MVFR AT KCPR UNTIL 08Z-09Z/TUESDAY. ENOUGH
CLEARING OVER A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER COULD CERTAINLY LEAD TO FOG AT
KRIW BETWEEN 11Z-15Z/TUESDAY, WHERE THE CHANCE OF MVFR VISIBILITY
STANDS AT 30 PERCENT. NORTHERLY SURFACE WIND 10-20KTS SLOWS BY EARLY
EVENING LEAVING WINDS UNDER 10KTS BY 06Z/TUESDAY. MOUNTAIN TOPS
OBSCURED UNTIL 03Z/TUESDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO NORTHERN COLORADO OVER THE

02Z AND THEN DIMINISH. RAIN SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH GRADUALLY TAPER OFF
BY 05Z WITH LOW CIGS REMAINING OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH MOST

HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT
KLAR AND KRWL OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 18 HOURS WITH WINDS BECOMING LIGHT
OUT OF THE SOUTH. FURTHER EAST, EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS TO
EITHER DEVELOP (KCYS) OR CONTINUE FOR THE WESTERN NEBRASKA
TERMINALS. IFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE, BUT CURRENT THINKING IS MVFR CIGS
AROUND 1500 FEET AGL WILL PREVAIL. CAN'T RULE OUT A FEW STRIKES OF
LIGHTNING AROUND KCYS UNTIL 01Z.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 620 PM CDT MON APR 28 2025
CONTINUED AVIATION CONCERNS FOCUS ON STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS IN
THE WAKE OF THE PASSING COLD FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. MEASURED
GUSTS HAVE RANGED IN THE 35 TO 45 KNOT RANGE FOR AREA REPORTING
STATIONS, TO INCLUDE NORTH PLATTE. THIS WILL LIKELY PERSIST FOR
ANOTHER HOUR OR SO BEFORE WANING.
CONVECTION IS LARGELY OUT OF THE LOCAL AREA AND CONCERNS WILL
THEN TRANSITION TO INCOMING LOW STRATUS THAT WILL INTRODUCE MVFR
CIGS. THESE CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY AFFECTING VTN AND WILL
GRADUALLY WORK THEIR WAY SOUTH TO LBF BY LATE TONIGHT. THESE
LOWER CIGS WILL LIKELY PREVAIL THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING TUESDAY
BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE AND WINDS DECREASE LEAVING CLEAR TO
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND A RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS.

VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST ACROSS ALL THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. THERE IS
CURRENTLY GUSTY WINDS FROM THE SW AT KDHT AND KGUY AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. ONCE THE FRONT PASSES DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS THESE
WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND SEE STRONGER GUSTS. KAMA BEING FURTHER
SOUTH WILL NOT SEE FRONTAL PASSAGE TIL THE MID MORNING HOURS
SHOWING THE SAME NORTH WIND SHIFT AND GUSTS. LOWER CLOUDS HAVE A
HIGH CHANCE OF BUILDING IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND MAY LEAD TO MVFR
CONDITIONS. THIS IS MOST LIKELY AT KAMA AS IT HAS HIGHER MOISTURE
AMOUNTS FOR THE LOW DECK TO FORM FROM. THIS SAME MOISTURE MAY LEAD
TO RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE KAMA AREA DURING THE
EVENING WHICH IS CURRENTLY JUST OUTSIDE THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ARE SPARSE OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO EARLY THIS EVENING WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ONGOING
IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE. WINDS WILL SETTLE IN MOST
LOCATIONS AROUND SUNSET, HOWEVER A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE IN
NORTHEASTERN AREAS, BRINGING SHIFTING DIRECTIONS (NORTH NORTHEAST)
AND GUSTY CONDITIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL CREATE
PATCHY LOW CEILINGS (DOWN TO 2000-3000 FT, OR MVFR) IN
NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO TUESDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL ALSO
ACCELERATE THROUGH GAPS AND CANYONS WITHIN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AROUND DAWN TUESDAY, BRINGING GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS TO ABQ
WHICH WOULD REQUIRE AN AVIATION WEATHER WARNING. WINDS WOULD VEER
IN DIRECTION INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH GENERALLY MODERATE SPEEDS OF
10 TO 20 KT. HIGH-BASED CUMULUS WOULD THEN FORM OVER MUCH OF
NORTHERN NEW MEXICO LATE IN THE DAY, LEADING TO LIGHT SHOWERS.
MUCH OF THIS WOULD FALL AS VIRGA (EVAPORATING RAINFALL), PRODUCING
MORE WIND THAN APPRECIABLE RAINFALL. HOWEVER, MORE PERSISTENT
SNOW WOULD BE FOUND OVER THE COLDER NORTHERN MOUNTAINS,
PARTICULARLY THE SANGRE DE CRISTOS WITH MVFR TO OCCASIONAL IFR
CEILINGS/VISIBILITY AND OBSCURED MOUNTAIN PEAKS TUESDAY.
