DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0224 UTC THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2025
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 533 PM MDT WED SEP 17 2025
CURRENTLY, SOME WEAKER THUNDERSTORMS ARE PRESENT TO THE WEST AND
SOUTH OF THE DENVER AREA TAF SITES. SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ARE
ALSO PRESENT ACROSS THE TAF SITES. THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS TAF
PERIOD WILL BE FOR CIGS TO DROP TO MVFR CONDITIONS, AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF WEAK THUNDERSTORM TO MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE
TAF SITES (KAPA HAS THE BEST CHANCE). HOWEVER, IT'S STILL LOOKING
LIKE SHOWERS ARE THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO AS INSTABILITY IS STILL
LACKING ACROSS THE AREA, AND STORMS CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS THEY
MOVE OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. SHOWERS SHOULD DIMINISH BY LATE
TONIGHT, WITH LOWER CIGS REMAINING THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING.
THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR CIGS TO LINGER SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN WHAT IS
IN THE TAF AS SOME OF THE MORE MOISTURE AGGRESSIVE MODELS SHOW
THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TAKING A LITTLE LONGER TO PUSH EASTWARD,
BUT THE DRIER SOLUTIONS HAVE THEM SCATTERING OUT BETWEEN 9-11Z.
TOMORROW IS EXPECTED TO BE A TYPICAL DIURNAL WIND PATTERN DAY,
WITH LIGHT AND VRB WINDS IN THE MORNING, GIVING WAY TO NE, TO E
WINDS FOR THE AFTERNOON. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN
PLACE ONCE THE MORNING CIGS SCATTER OUT, WITH NO PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CONTINUING ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA
AND SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING. AS THE LOW LIFT TO THE
NORTH, SHOWER ACTIVITY MAY BEGIN TO DIMINISH ACROSS THE REGION.
HOWEVER, CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN MOSTLY MVFR TO IFR ACROSS MOST OF
NORTHERN NEBRASKA, INCLUDING THE KVTN TERMINAL THROUGH MOST OF THE
EFFECTIVE TAF PERIOD. WITH THE AMPLE MOISTURE ACROSS THE NORTH,
PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT, INTRODUCING VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS TO TERMINALS ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA. FURTHER SOUTH,
SKIES HAVE BEEN RAPIDLY CLEARING AS THE LOW TRACKS NORTH. WITH THE
CLEARING ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA, CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE EFFECTIVE TAF PERIOD, THOUGH SOME CLOUD
DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT MAY BRING IN SOME LOW END VFR CEILINGS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 529 PM MDT WED SEP 17 2025
PREDOMINATELY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR TEMPORARY
VISIBILITY DROPS IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. ONE STORM IS
CURRENTLY CROSSING THE CO/NE BORDER HEADING IN THE GENERAL
DIRECTION OF MCK. IT IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO WEAKEN, WITH ONLY
A 20% CHANCE OF MCK BEING IMPACTED, SO WILL LEAVE OUT OF THE TAF
AND AMEND IF NECESSARY. FOR GLD, WILL BE WATCHING STORMS MOVING
EASTWARD OUT OF CENTRAL COLORADO. HIGHER PROBABILITIES OF TSRA
WILL BE SOUTH OF GLD, BUT PROBABILITIES WARRANT A PROB30 MENTION
OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL RANGE FROM NORTHERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY AT
6 TO 10 KTS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 656 PM CDT WED SEP 17 2025
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS
TONIGHT AND INTERACT WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO YIELD WIDESPREAD
THUNDERSTORMS. A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND T-STORMS WILL MOVE
EASTWARD FROM THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS INTO KGCK AND KLBL
BETWEEN 05 AND 07Z AND PERSIST FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. BY 07-09Z THE
STORMS WILL REACH KDDC. EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST AHEAD OF
THE LINE AT 20-30 KTS AS A GUST FRONT PASSES BEFORE SETTLING
DOWN AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR. VISIBILITIES AND CIGS MAY DROP TO MVFR
DURING THE HEAVIEST RAIN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. AFTER 12Z EXPECT
IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO VFR, WITH LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS.

VFR CONDITIONS TO START WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS LATER IN THE TAF
PERIOD. STORMS HAVE DEPARTED THE AMA AREA, AND WE SHOULD BE CLEAR
OF THEM FOR AWHILE, BUT STILL HAVE A TEMPO FOR THE NEXT HOUR, JUST
IN CASE A REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS. THE 2-6Z TIME PERIOD LOOKS MOST
FAVORED FOR STORMS AT KDHT AND KGUY, WITH SOME LINGERING SHOWERS
AND STORMS AFTER, WHICH WE'LL DEAL WITH VIA PROB30S. WITH THE
FRONT THROUGH FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE LOOKING AT VARIABLE WINDS
AROUND 5 TO 10KTS. THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING MUCH HIGHER GUSTS 30
TO 50KTS, BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO NOTE AT THIS TIME, AND
WILL BE DEALT WITH VIA AMENDMENTS. CIGS DOWN TO IFR FROM THE
06-18Z TIME PERIOD AS LOW CLOUDS WILL BE IN PLACE WITH SOME OF
THESE SHOWERS AND OR STORMS TONIGHT.

ISSUED AT 508 PM MDT WED SEP 17 2025
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS FAR
NORTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL NM THRU LATE THIS EVENING. SOME OF THE
STRONGER CELLS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, VERY HEAVY
RAIN, AND INTENSE LIGHTNING. ELSEWHERE OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
NM, ISOLATED SHRA/TS ARE PRODUCING STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 35KT
WITH BRIEF RAIN. A NORTHEAST WIND SHIFT WILL MOVE THRU EASTERN NM
TONIGHT WITH INCREASING LIKELIHOOD FOR LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG.
THE LATEST NBM HAS A 10-15% CHANCE OF MVFR VSBYS OVER NORTHEAST
NM, A 30-50% CHANCE OF MVFR CIGS, AND A 10-30% CHANCE OF IFR
CIGS. GAP WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AROUND KABQ AS THE
BOUNDARY MOVES WEST AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE NBM 75TH PERCENTILE WIND
GUSTS ARE NEAR 28KT. LOW CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO ERODE OVER EASTERN
NM THURSDAY MORNING WHILE HIGH CLOUDS SPREAD OVER MUCH OF NM. THE
NEXT ROUND OF SHRA/TS IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAINLY FOR
THE SOUTHERN HIGH TERRAIN AND SOUTHEAST NM.
