AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1152 AM MDT MON MAR 30 2026
MODELS HAVE A MORE WESTERLY COMPETENT TO THE CURRENT WINDS AT DIA
FOR THIS AFTERNOON. SPEEDS SHOULD COME A UP BIT AS THEY DID
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE DECENT MIXING EXPECTED. MODELS ARE
NOT SHOWING NORMAL DRAINAGE WINDS THIS EVENING BUT RATHER VARIABLE
AND WEAK FLOW UNTIL THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES. I WENT WITH WEAK
DRAINAGE. I LEFT THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT AS IS: 11Z AT DIA.
CROSS SECTIONS AND SOUNDINGS SHOW A BIT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN
THE UPSLOPE FLOW TUESDAY MORNING. I PUT A FEW-SCT030-040 DECK IN,
SO WE'LL SEE. THE BEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION AT DIA LOOK TO BE
AFTER 00Z TOMORROW EVENING.
