AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1151 AM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS HAVE
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE ACROSS THE DENVER TAF SITES LATE THIS
MORNING. THE LATEST KFTG VAD PROFILER SHOWS WESTERLY WINDS ARE
JUST OFF THE DECK, AND WITH FURTHER MIXING EXPECTED THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON, THESE WESTERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE
SURFACE. THE LATEST ACARS SOUNDING SHOWS A SLIGHT INVERSION AROUND
750 MB (3,500 - 4,000' AGL) WITH 20KT WINDS JUST ABOVE IT. WITH
JUST A FEW MORE DEGREES OF SURFACE HEATING WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
MIX THAT OUT, BRINGING THE STRONGER GUSTS DOWN. EXPECT GUSTS
BETWEEN 15-25 KTS ONCE THIS OCCURS, STARTING BY 20-21Z, AND
SETTLING DOWN AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING.
DRAINAGE WINDS ARE LIKELY TO SET IN ACROSS THE TAF SITES BETWEEN
3-6Z TONIGHT. EARLY TOMORROW MORNING (11-12Z) WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO MAKE A MORE SOUTHERLY TURN BEFORE TURNING BACK WSW BY 16Z WITH
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WEST WINDS TO CHANNEL THEIR WAY INTO THE TAF
SITES SHORTLY THEREAFTER (17-18Z).
