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.

ISSUED AT 500 PM MDT TUE JUL 29 2025
SHOWERS AND LINGERING THUNDERSTORMS WILL PULL EAST OF THE I-25
CORRIDOR AND THE COS AND KPUB TERMINALS BY 01Z. OTHERWISE EXPECT
LINGERING VFR CLOUDINESS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH WINDS
DIMINISHING TOWARDS 06Z. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR SOME
PATCHY MVFR STRATUS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR TOWARDS
MORNING BUT PROBABILITIES APPEAR TOO LOW GIVEN PERSISTENT HIGH
LEVEL CLOUD COVER TO INCLUDE IN THE KCOS TAF. OTHERWISE, ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR BOTH
TERMINALS WITH PROBABILITIES SUFFICIENT TO CARRY A PROB30 GROUP
AFTER 21-22Z.
KALS MAY SEE SOME INTERMITTENT -SHRA THROUGH 06Z, UNDER VARIABLE
MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER. WINDS WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT
AND REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER 22Z, THOUGH
HAVE STUCK WITH VCSH FOR NOW GIVEN UNCERTAINTIES ON COVERAGE AND
PROXIMITY TO TERMINAL. -KT

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.

CLOUD COVER HAS HINDERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG/SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON, BUT RECENT TRENDS ARE ON
THE UPSWING. ONGOING CONVECTION WILL SPREAD EAST THROUGH AT
LEAST MID-EVENING TUESDAY. FOR THE MOST PART, CONVECTION OCCURS
ALONG AND EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WHERE MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY ARE MOST FAVORABLE. WIDE TEMPERATURE-DEW POINT
SPREADS WEST OF THE DIVIDE SUPPORT GUSTY OUTFLOW WIND WITH ANY
SHOWERS AND STORMS. CONVECTION IS EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY
06Z/WEDNESDAY. ANY TERMINALS THAT RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN BEFORE
CLEARING OUT TOWARD WEDNESDAY SUNRISE COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
PATCHY FOG AND/OR LOW STRATUS WITH KCPR THE MOST LIKELY
LOCATION. FORECAST MAINTAINS SOME SCT DECKS TO REFLECT THIS
POSSIBILITY. LOW-LEVEL, MOIST NORTHEASTERLY FLOW PUSHES INTO
SOUTHWEST WYOMING TUESDAY NIGHT LEADING TO 10-18KT SURFACE WIND.
ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION RETURNS AROUND 21Z/WEDNESDAY AND
IMPACTS MAINLY AREAS EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE
AREA WITH THE GREATEST NEAR-TERM POTENTIAL FOR ON-STATION
IMPACTS AT KRWL. OTHERWISE A SECOND ROUND OF STRONG, TO
POTENTIALLY SEVERE, THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLE TERMINALS TONIGHT BEFORE DEPARTING ~07-08Z.
LOW CEILINGS ARE THEN EXPECTED OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING
FOR ALL HIGH PLAINS TERMINALS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN PROGRESS ACROSS MOST OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA, WITH THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL
AND GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS. CONDITIONS MAY DROP TO MVFR IN PERIODS OF
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. LATER TONIGHT, CONDITIONS DETERIORATE TO IFR
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION, AS A LOW STRATUS DECK BUILDS IN. WITH
THE HEAVY RAIN THIS EVENING AND LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT, BELIEVE THAT
FOG IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT IN ADDITION TO THE LOW CEILINGS.
SKIES REMAIN CLOUDY IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT GRADUALLY BEGIN TO IMPROVE
TO VFR CONDITIONS. AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED IN THE SHORT TERM TO
BETTER CAPTURE THE SCATTERED NATURE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING.

FOR KGLD... THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN IN THE VICINITY
FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS, THOUGH THEY SHOULD MOVE OFF OF
THE TERMINAL. WHILE I ONLY HAVE THE FIRST TWO HOURS WITH VCTS,
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA. BE ALERT
FOR POP UP THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH ABOUT 07Z. AFTER THAT, THE MAIN
SYSTEM SHOULD SHIFT SOUTH AND PRECIPITATION COME TO AN END. THE
LATEST FORECAST IS A LITTLE MORE PESSIMISTIC ON HOW LOW CEILINGS
WILL GET TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY IF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ARE MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA. SO WHILE NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED, THERE IS ABOUT
A 30% CHANCE THAT CEILINGS LOWER TO AROUND 100FT BETWEEN 09-16Z.
OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS WITH WINDS EVENTUALLY STEADYING FROM
THE NORTH ARE FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.
FOR KMCK... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE
TO MOVE OVER OR NEAR THE TERMINAL FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AS A
WHOLE, THE SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTHEAST, WHICH SHOULD PUSH THE
CURRENT STORMS AWAY FROM THE TERMINAL. THAT BEING SAID, THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED COULD KICK UP
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH ABOUT 08Z. THE CHANCES ARE
CURRENTLY LOW ENOUGH THAT I LEFT IT OUT FOR NOW. WITH ALL THE
TURBULENCE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES, THE CHANCE FOR CEILINGS
AROUND 1000FT HAS LOWERED A BIT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP OUT OF
THE TAF. CURRENTLY, THE FORECAST HAS CEILINGS LOWERING AROUND
SUNRISE, BUT THEY COULD LOWER AS SOON AS 09Z. TOWARDS THE MID
PART OF TOMORROW, SOME DRIER AIR SHOULD PUSH IN AND THE CEILINGS
SHOULD LIFT, ALLOWING FOR VFR CONDITIONS. WINDS SHOULD STABILIZE
FROM THE NORTH.

A FAIRLY ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER IN THIS TAF TIMEFRAME. AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT WITH THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN
AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH THE
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
LIKELIHOOD CLOSER TO 22Z.
