DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2014 UTC TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2025
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1149 AM MDT TUE JUL 29 2025
STRATUS HAS BEEN PERSISTENT DUE TO CONTINUED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTION AND MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK ON TOP. THERE ARE MORE BREAKS
NOW SHOWING UP IN SURFACE OBSERVATIONS, SO WE THINK A DISSIPATION
OR LIFT TO SCT STRATOCU DECK IS EXPECTED THROUGH 19Z. MAIN CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS IS DELAYED SLIGHTLY DUE TO A STRONGER CAP IN
PLACE THANKS TO THE MORNING STRATUS. AT THIS POINT, THE HIGHEST
RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS STILL EXISTS TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST,
ROUGHLY KAPA AND POINTS S/SE, BUT STILL A PROB30 WARRANTED FOR
KDEN AS STORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE. ANY STRONGER STORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL AND BRIEF VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS.
FOR TONIGHT, WE EXPECT MOST OF THE STORM THREAT TO BE OVER BY
02Z-03Z, AND THEN VFR CONDITIONS FOR AWHILE. HOWEVER, ANOTHER
SURGE IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT 09Z-12Z (SLIGHTLY AHEAD
OF AVERAGE MODEL GUIDANCE) WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BRING IN MORE
STRATUS AND MVFR CEILINGS (~70% CONFIDENCE) THROUGH MUCH OF
WEDNESDAY MORNING. STORM CHANCES INCREASE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AGAIN AS THE AIRMASS DESTABILIZES.

AVIATION...KSLC
GUSTY SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON BEFORE A DELAYED SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST, LIKELY
AROUND 01-02Z, THEN BACK TO DIURNAL SOUTHEASTERLIES BETWEEN
04-05Z. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THE INITIAL SHIFT TO NW
WILL NOT OCCUR AT ALL. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
CONDITIONS REMAIN SIMILAR TO
YESTERDAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA, WITH BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS CONTINUING INTO EARLY EVENING AND ELEVATED SMOKE PRODUCING
HAZY SKIES ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL/EASTERN UTAH. MVFR-IFR VIS/CIGS
WILL ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO LOCAL WILDFIRES.
ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN EAST OF
THE WASATCH AND INTO SW WYOMING SHOULD BE PUT TO BED BETWEEN
01-02Z. THESE STORMS REMAIN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY AND ERRATIC
OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 40KTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1120 AM MDT TUE JUL 29 2025
LINGERING MVFR CEILINGS AT KCPR SHOULD SCATTER OUT IN THE NEXT
HOUR OR SO AS DAYTIME HEATING ERODES THE LOW-LEVEL CLOUDS.
OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED AT ALL TAF
SITES FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER, STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG AND EAST OF THE
DIVIDE, AND MVFR CONDITIONS ARE QUITE LIKELY UNDER THESE STORMS.
ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE HIGH LEVEL OF BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE
AFTER THE STORMS OVERNIGHT, PATCHY FOG AND/OR LOW STRATUS IS
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY AT KCOD/KWRL/KCPR INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
HAVE INCLUDED SOME SCT DECKS TO REFLECT THE POSSIBILITY. AS
MENTIONED, STRONG STORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING, WITH GUSTY WIND AND SMALL HAIL ACCOMPANYING BRIEF HEAVY
RAIN. FROM NORTH-CENTRAL WY INTO CENTRAL WY AROUND KCPR THOUGH
CONDITIONS COULD BE WORSE IN THE EARLY EVENING WITH LARGER HAIL
AND WIND GUSTS OF 50+ KTS. SHOWERS COULD LINGER EAST OF THE
DIVIDE THROUGH 30/06Z. WEST OF THE DIVIDE, ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AT THE 4 TAF SITES IN THE AFTERNOON,
BRINGING GUSTY WIND AND SMALL HAIL WITH BRIEF HEAVY RAIN. LOW-
LEVEL NORTHERLY AND EASTERLY FLOW WILL REINFORCE AGAIN OVERNIGHT
EAST OF THE DIVIDE, THEN PUSH INTO WESTERN (KJAC) AND SOUTHWEST
WY FOR A FEW HOURS OF MODERATE SURFACE WINDS BEFORE BECOMING
MORE VARIABLE AROUND SUNRISE.
A SIMILAR PATTERN WILL DEVELOP AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE
MOISTURE BOUNDARY HUNG UP ALONG THE DIVIDE. STORMS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON THOUGH SHOULD BE MORE ACROSS THE WIND RIVER BASIN AND
SOUTHERN BIGHORN BASIN INTO NATRONA COUNTY, WITH LESS OF A
CHANCE ACROSS SOUTHWEST WY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 230 PM MDT TUE JUL 29 2025
LINGERING LOW CIGS WILL CLEAR UP SHORTLY, WITH ATTENTION
SHIFTING TO THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY LOW IN THE GENERAL EVOLUTION OF TODAY'S
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY, BUT STORMS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO
KICK OFF SHORTLY IN ALBANY COUNTY. THE FIRST ROUND WILL MOVE
EAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING, BUT MAY STRUGGLE HEADING EASTWARD
WITH MORE STABILITY PRESENT. A SECOND ROUND IS POSSIBLE MAINLY
IMPACTING THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NE PANHANDLE TERMINALS LATE

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1124 AM MDT TUE JUL 29 2025
FOR KGLD & KMCK... VFR CONDITIONS ARE INITIALLY FORECAST FOR THE
FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE PERIOD WITH GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES.
STARTING AROUND 21Z, BUT MORE LIKELY BETWEEN 23-02Z, STORMS ARE
FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AND INTERMITTENTLY IMPACT
THE TERMINALS. THESE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE WITH WIND GUSTS OF
50-55 KTS. HAIL RANGING FROM 0.25-1.25" MAY ALSO OCCUR.
MULTIPLE ROUND OF STORMS ARE POSSIBLE, SO CONTINUE TO USE
CAUTION ONCE A STORM PASSES. STORMS ACTIVITY SHOULD LOWER/END
AROUND 03Z, BUT HAS A LOW CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE THROUGH 07Z WITH
SHOWERS BEING MORE LIKELY. AROUND THIS TIME, EXPECT LOW LEVEL
WINDS TO BECOME MORE FROM THE NORTH AS A SURFACE LOW PUSHES
SOUTH. THE OTHER CONDITION OF INTEREST IS LOW CLOUD CEILINGS,
FORECAST TO DEVELOP BETWEEN 08-12Z. KMCK IS LIKELY TO SEE LOWER
CEILINGS AS A WHOLE AND BEFORE KGLD, BUT BOTH SITE SHOULD LOWER
TO AROUND 1000FT. ONCE CEILINGS LOWER, THEY LIKELY WON'T LIFT
UNTIL CLOSER TO 15-17Z. IN SHORT, STORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING,
LOW CEILINGS TOMORROW MORNING.

A FAIRLY ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER IN THIS TAF TIMEFRAME. AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT WITH THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN

OVERNIGHT. IN GENERAL FLIGHT CATEGORY SHOULD BE VFR HOWEVER WITH
PASSING THUNDERSTORMS WE COULD SEE DOWNGRADES TO MVFR OR IFR
DURING THE TIME A THUNDERSTORM IS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
AIRPORT.
FOR HYS: THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
AROUND 03Z WITH PROB30S THROUGH 12Z. WINDS SHOULD BE VARIABLE
OUT OF THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AT 8-15 KTS. PROB30S RETURN AFTER
18Z WITH SURFACE VISIBILITY FALLING TO AROUND 3-4 SM AND
CEILINGS TO 2,500 FT.
FOR DDC, GCK, AND LBL: THE FRONT AND WIND CHANGE WILL BE AROUND
07-08Z WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION OUT OF THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST
THROUGH 12Z. PROB30S FOR STORMS WILL BE AFTER 18Z WITH HIGHER
