AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 532 AM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
VFR WILL PERSIST WITH ONLY SCT-BKN HIGH CLOUDS. SOUTH/SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD AT KDEN AND KAPA THROUGH AT LEAST 18Z,
ALTHOUGH A COUPLE PERIODS OF LIGHTER S/SE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
MOUNTAIN WAVE ALONG THE FRONT RANGE THIS MORNING. THE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO START TURNING MORE SW-W-WNW WITH PEAK HEATING AND
MIXING, BUT WITH SOME CIRRUS CLOUDS THAT FULL MIXING AND WESTERLY
SHIFT COULD BE DELAYED TIL ABOUT 20-21Z. THERE'S EVEN A SLIGHT
CHANCE (20-25%) THAT THE WEST WINDS NEVER DO MIX AND WE END UP
WITH VRB OR LIGHT EAST WINDS AT TIMES 20Z-24Z. WINDS WILL THEN
TURN BACK SOUTH/SOUTHWEST 01Z-05Z AND HOLD THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY.
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT DOES APPROACH TUESDAY MORNING SO SOMETHING
TO KEEP AN EYE ON FOR A SNEAKY WIND SHIFT.
KBJC WILL BE A FEW HOURS EARLIER (17Z-20Z) WITH THE WESTERLY WIND
INCREASE, WITH GUSTS TO 20-27 KTS EXPECTED OFF/ON THROUGH 04Z.
THEN, WINDS SHOULD SETTLE AGAIN TO A LIGHTER SOUTHWEST COMPONENT.
