DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 439 AM MST SAT JAN 3 2026
VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. LIGHT S/SSW WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE AT
DEN AND APA THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY, WITH A LITTLE MORE
VARIABILITY AT BJC. A WEAK CYCLONE IS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
LATER THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A BRIEF SHIFT TOWARDS THE NORTH OR
NORTHEAST POSSIBLE. DRAINAGE WINDS SHOULD QUICKLY KICK BACK IN
THIS EVENING. THERE IS MORE UNCERTAINTY WITH SUNDAY'S WINDS AS
A FEW CAMS TRY TO MIX GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS INTO THE METRO WHILE
THE REST OF THE DETERMINISTIC/STATISTICAL GUIDANCE FAVORS LIGHT
EASTERLY WINDS DURING THE DAY.
NO CEILING OR VISIBILITY CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED WITH A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN HIGH CLOUD COVER LIKELY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.
