DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2340 UTC WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2025
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 536 PM MDT WED OCT 15 2025
VFR IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. A NEARLY
STATIONARY SURFACE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO BE THE FOCAL POINT OF THE
NEAR TERM FORECAST. THIS BOUNDARY CURRENTLY SITS BETWEEN DEN/CFO
AND EXTENDS TOWARDS PARKER/CASTLE ROCK (SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF APA).
RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST THIS IS JUST BEGINNING TO RETREAT BACK TO THE
WEST AND COULD EVENTUALLY PRODUCE WIND SHIFTS AT DEN/APA BY
02-03Z. THERE IS ALSO A LIMITED CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPING NEAR THIS BOUNDARY, THOUGH THAT POTENTIAL CONTINUES TO
DIMINISH AS WE'VE REMAINED MOSTLY CAPPED IN THE AREA.
SOUTHEAST WINDS BEHIND THAT BOUNDARY WILL EVENTUALLY TRANSITION TO
DRAINAGE WINDS LATER THIS EVENING, AND SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. A GRADUAL CLOCKWISE TURN TO THE WINDS IS
EXPECTED DURING THE DAY THURSDAY, WITH WEST-NORTHWEST GUSTS LIKELY
BY THE AFTERNOON.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 524 PM MDT WED OCT 15 2025
KALS: GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING, WITH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN
NOW AND ABOUT 05Z. GUSTS WILL APPROACH 35-45 KNOTS AT TIMES, WITH
WINDS BECOMING MORE VARIABLE NEAR PASSING THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS WILL
BE MOVING QUICKLY TONIGHT, SO ANY PRECIPITATION AT THE TERMINAL WILL
BE GENERALLY SHORT-LIVED. MVFR CLOUDS CEILINGS WILL LAST INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING, BEFORE VFR RETURNS THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD.
THURSDAY WILL SEE CONTINUED SOUTHWEST WINDS, BECOMING GUSTY IN THE
EARLY AFTERNOON.
KCOS: MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH 24 HOURS. THERE IS A
CHANCE THAT PASSING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING, MOVING
OFF OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN, COULD IMPACT THE TERMINAL BETWEEN ABOUT
03-07Z. SCATTERED AND QUICK-MOVING NATURE OF STORMS ONLY IMPROVES
CONFIDENCE ENOUGH TO PUT IN AS PROB30 FOR NOW. IF STORMS MOVE CLOSE
TO THE TERMINAL, WINDS COULD GUST TO AROUND 40 KNOTS WITH BRIEF RAIN
AND THUNDER, BEFORE STORMS MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. SOUTHEAST
WINDS WEAKEN OVERNIGHT, WITH CEILINGS RAISING THURSDAY MORNING. BY
AFTERNOON, SKIES CONTINUE TO CLEAR AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS MOVE IN.
KPUB: VFR GENERALLY EXPECTED THROUGH 24 HOURS. GUSTY WINDS WILL LAST
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WITH A LOW CHANCE OF QUICK-MOVING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS PASSING BY THE TERMINAL AROUND 05-09Z. STORMS
COULD PRODUCE OUTFLOW WINDS 35-40 KNOTS AND BRIEF PERIODS OF RAIN,
AS WELL AS THUNDER. CONFIDENCE IS CURRENTLY ONLY HIGH ENOUGH TO
INCLUDE AS PROB30 GROUP. OVERNIGHT, WINDS WILL WEAKEN AND TURN MORE
WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY, WITH SKIES SLOWLY CLEARING THURSDAY MORNING.

ISSUED AT 0002 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2025
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 554 PM MDT WED OCT 15 2025
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST
COLORADO WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
AREAS THIS EVENING WITH SHOWERS CONTINUING OVERNIGHT ACROSS
NORTHWEST COLORADO AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH.
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS IS SCATTERED SO CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE AT
TAF SITES IS LOWER SO INCLUDED PROB30 GROUPS TO ACCOUNT FOR
THESE SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. EXPECT GENERALLY
VFR CONDITIONS WITH PERIODS OF MVFR DURING ANY SHOWERS. THE
HEAVIER SHOWERS ARE FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA
WHICH DO NOT APPEAR TO IMPACT TAF SITES. DRIER AIR WILL
ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL PASSAGE OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY, FURTHER
REDUCING SHOWER COVERAGE. EXPECT BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS OF
25 TO 35 KTS TO TAF SITES THIS EVENING INTO PORTIONS OF THE
OVERNIGHT AS THIS SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST
COLORADO WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
AREAS THIS EVENING WITH SHOWERS CONTINUING OVERNIGHT ACROSS
NORTHWEST COLORADO AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH.
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS IS SCATTERED SO CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE AT
TAF SITES IS LOWER SO INCLUDED PROB30 GROUPS TO ACCOUNT FOR
THESE SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. EXPECT GENERALLY
VFR CONDITIONS WITH PERIODS OF MVFR DURING ANY SHOWERS. THE
HEAVIER SHOWERS ARE FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA
WHICH DO NOT APPEAR TO IMPACT TAF SITES. DRIER AIR WILL
ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL PASSAGE OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY, FURTHER
REDUCING SHOWER COVERAGE. EXPECT BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS OF
25 TO 35 KTS TO TAF SITES THIS EVENING INTO PORTIONS OF THE
OVERNIGHT AS THIS SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 609 PM MDT WED OCT 15 2025
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS CENTRAL
WYOMING EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH KCPR SEEING THE BEST CHANCE
OF IMPACTS UNTIL 01Z/02Z. ADDITIONAL WEAK CONVECTION REMAINS
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST-QUARTER OF THE STATE DURING THE EVENING.
IFR/MVFR CEILINGS HAVE REMAINED OR HAVE QUICKLY RETURNED ACROSS
THE BIGHORN BASIN, INCLUDING KCOD AND KWRL, LATE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, EARLY PERIOD CONDITIONS REMAIN VFR ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA.
IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT AS A CLOSED
LOW MOVES NORTHEAST FROM UTAH AND CROSSES THE STATE. THE BEST
CHANCE OF RAIN STRETCHES FROM 10Z-18Z/THURSDAY. KCOD AND KWRL
SEE LITTLE IF ANY IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. KCPR
FINDS LOWERED CEILINGS ARRIVING LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING, WHILE
KRKS CAN EXPECT A PERIOD OF SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS MUCH OF
THURSDAY MORNING IN IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS. GUSTY WEST TO
NORTHWEST SURFACE WIND 15-30KTS ARRIVES IN SOUTHWEST WYOMING
AROUND MIDDAY THURSDAY ALLOWING FOR CONDITIONS TO DRY OUT AND
IMPROVE, ESPECIALLY AT KRKS. SIMILARLY, SOUTHWEST SURFACE WIND
PUSHES INTO KCPR AND ERODES THE LOWER CEILINGS AS VFR RETURNS
AROUND 18Z/THURSDAY. THE GENERAL TREND AT THE VERY END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE TOWARD DRIER AND SLOWLY IMPROVING
CONDITIONS FROM WEST-TO-EAST. MOUNTAIN TOPS OBSCURED ACROSS THE
BIGHORN BASIN THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, WHILE MOUNTAIN
TOPS ARE OBSCURED ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PERSIST FOR AREAS WEST OF THE
LARAMIE RANGE THIS EVENING. THESE STORMS COULD EVENTUALLY MAKE IT
OVER THE LARAMIE RANGE AND AFFECT TERMINALS IN WESTERN NEBRASKA.
STORMS COULD CAUSE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND VISIBILITY DROPS. LOW
STRATUS AND FOG CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND
IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. FOG WILL LIKELY ALSO BE
PRESENT AT MANY NEBRASKA TERMINALS OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING AS
WELL. LOW STRATUS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE OUT WEST WITH LATE NIGHT
SHOWERS. MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS
OVERNIGHT.

DRY WEATHER REMAINS PRESENT OVER THE PANHANDLES TODAY WITH ALL
TERMINALS LOOKING TO STAY AT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. ONE THING THAT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR TO BE PRESENT AT KGUY AND KDHT
LATER TONIGHT THANKS TO A LOW-LEVEL JET HOLDING OVER THE AREA.
HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT THESE WINDS WILL BE VERY
IMPACTFUL, SO HAVE LEFT MENTION OUT OF CURRENT PACKAGE.

ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CONFINED TO NORTH CENTRAL
NEW MEXICO EARLY THIS EVENING, AND ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY TRANSITION
TO MORE NORTHEASTERN AREAS OF THE STATE OVERNIGHT INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS THURSDAY. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS THAT WILL TEMPORARILY REDUCE CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
WHILE ALSO DROPPING HAIL AND GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS. GUSTY SOUTH
SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE IMPACTING MANY AREAS, INCLUDING KABQ WHERE AN
AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING IS IN EFFECT (GUSTS TO 35 KT). LOW
STRATUS CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT AREAS JUST EAST OF THE
SANGRE DE CRISTOS, INCLUDING KLVS AND KRTN WHERE CEILINGS WILL
DROP FROM MVFR (LESS THAN 3000 FT) TO IFR (LESS THAN 1000 FT).
RAIN AND PATCHY FOG WILL ALSO REDUCE VISIBILITY IN THESE
NORTHEASTERN AREAS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
THURSDAY. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE THROUGH LATE THURSDAY MORNING
AND THE EARLY AFTERNOON WITH LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ERODING AND
BURNING OFF. A VERY LOW (20%) CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL EXIST ALONG THE EASTERN NEW MEXICO BORDER THURSDAY AFTERNOON
WITH REMAINING AREAS STAYING MOSTLY CLEAR AND VFR WITH LIGHT TO
MODERATELY BREEZY CONDITIONS PREVAILING.
