DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0039 UTC TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 606 PM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS THROUGH 03Z AT DEN
WILL LIKELY VARY IN DIRECTION BETWEEN 260-300 WITH 270 AND 280
BEING THE MOST COMMON WIND DIRECTIONS. SOME WIND GUSTS UP TO 20
KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE BUT WIND SPEEDS BETWEEN 10-12 KNOTS WILL BE
MOST COMMON. WINDS WILL TURN SOUTHWESTERLY AND TO DRAINAGE
OVERNIGHT. THE WINDS BETWEEN 13-17Z AT DEN WILL BE VERY TOUGH TO
PREDICT. A SHALLOW BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHEAST
COLORADO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. THIS FRONT COULD MAKE IT THROUGH
DEN AND SHIFT THE WINDS TO THE NORTHEAST WITH LIGHT SPEEDS. OR THE
FRONT COULD STALL TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AIRPORT AND WESTERLY
WINDS COULD FORM EARLY THAN THE TAF SUGGESTS AT AROUND 16-17Z.
THERE IS AROUND A 50/50 CHANCE THAT THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH DEN
BUT THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT PREFERENCE TOWARDS THE FRONT NOT MAKING
IT TO THE TERMINAL AND SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS PREVAIL.
THERE IS THEN HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT MODERATE WESTERLY WINDS WILL
DEVELOP IN THE LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT ALL
TERMINALS. GUSTS UP TO 35 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE AT BJC AND UP TO 30
KNOTS AT DEN AND APA. WINDS WILL WEAKEN IN THE EVENING AND TURN
MORE NORTHWESTERLY.
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH ALL TERMINALS AROUND 02-05Z TUESDAY
NIGHT. GUSTY WINDS UP TO 35 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT
FROM THE NORTH.

EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WITH FLOW WEAKENING AND TRANSITIONING TO A
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AROUND 21Z. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS MAY OCCUR AS
EARLY AS 20Z (15-20% CHANCE) AND AS LATE AS 23Z (20% CHANCE).
OTHERWISE, EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH CIGS
LOWERING TO AROUND 12KFT AGL DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS AND GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
THROUGHOUT THE VALID TAF PERIOD. ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF UTAH,
PEAK WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 25KTS. FOR SOUTHWEST
WYOMING, GUSTS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 35KTS. GUSTY WINDS WILL DECREASE
AFTER SUNDOWN, HOWEVER, A WEAK COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BRING A
NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT OVERNIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 526 PM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
WIND CONTINUES TO BE THE STORY OF THE DAY LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING. STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KTS WILL
IMPACT MOST OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH SUNSET BEFORE DECREASING.
NORTHERN WYOMING IS SEEING A COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVING SOUTH OUT
OF MONTANA, EARLIER THAN EXPECTED, WHICH IS SHIFTING THE WINDS
TO THE NORTH AT KCOD. A FEW OF THE TAF SITES WILL SEE SOME
PERIODS OF BREEZY WINDS OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE DIVIDE
AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO CENTRAL WY. THE COLD FRONT WILL
BRING SOME MID-LEVEL CLOUDS OVERNIGHT INTO NORTHERN WYOMING.
SOME OF THESE CLOUDS WILL LOWER TO AROUND 3000 FEET OVERNIGHT
AROUND KBYG, AND MAY MOVE INTO THE KCPR VICINITY AFTER 09Z.
CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO MOVE ACROSS KCOD/KWRL OVERNIGHT, BUT CIGS
ARE EXPECTED TO STAY WELL ABOVE MVFR LIMITS.
WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS TUESDAY MORNING WILL CAUSE THE BOUNDARY TO
RETREAT BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.
PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN WY UNTIL EARLY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH A SECONDARY PUSH/COLD FRONT, WHICH WILL
BRING MVFR CONDITIONS TO NORTHERN WY AND KJAC AROUND 18Z
TUESDAY. AHEAD OF THE SECONDARY PUSH TO THE SOUTH, STRONG WEST
WINDS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN WY AS THE BOUNDARY PUSHES FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE
BOUNDARY DOES TONIGHT. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL THUS IMPACT
MOST SITES (EXCEPT KRKS) ON TUESDAY BEFORE MOVING SOUTHEAST.
BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT A FEW SITES, ESPECIALLY
KJAC AND KCOD, AND THE MOUNTAINS ACROSS THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF WY
WILL BE MOSTLY OBSCURED FROM 10/06Z TO 11/06Z. AS THE COLD FRONT
LATE TUESDAY MOVES FURTHER SOUTHWARD, GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN WY WITH SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS IMPACTING KJAC TO KRIW/KLND TO KCPR TUESDAY
EVENING.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZLC AND ZDV FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 550 PM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
THERE LOOKS TO BE SOME RESIDUAL WIND SHEAR OVERNIGHT MAINLY FOR
OUR WYOMING TERMINALS BETWEEN 40 TO 50KTS. SOME MID TO HIGH
BASED CLOUDS ARE GOING TO BE PASSING THROUGH OVERNIGHT AS THE
WINDS CALM DOWN AFTER 03-06Z. THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF RAIN
SHOWERS ACCOMPANYING THOSE LOWER CLOUDS MAINLY NEAR KCDR BUT
THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THAT. HOWEVER, AFTER 18Z THE CLOUDS
WILL START TO LOWER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF A SHORTWAVE MOVING FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH. KCDR WILL BE THE FIRST WITH EVERY TERMINAL BEING
UNDER OVERCAST SKIES UNDER 10,000FT BY 00Z. SHOWERS LOOK TO
ARRIVE AT KCDR BETWEEN 23Z TUES AND 03Z WEDNESDAY. THESE SHOWERS
LOOK TO AFFECT THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS MORE BUT ARE STILL
POSSIBLE FOR KLAR AND KCYS AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE LARGELY EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL ARRIVE INTO THE AREA LATER TONIGHT AND
BRING STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS FOR A FEW HOURS FOLLOWING PASSAGE.
INCREASING COLD AIR AND SHOULD PROMOTE LOW STRATUS ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA TO INCLUDE THE LBF TERMINAL.
HAVE INTRODUCED A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CONDITIONS THOUGH SOME
GUIDANCE HINTS AT GREATER IMPACTS SO WILL MONITOR TRENDS AND
