DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2304 UTC MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 504 PM MDT MON MAR 30 2026
UPDATED THE LATEST TAFS FOR VRB WINDS DUE TO WEAK BUT IMPACTFUL
MICROBURSTS. LATEST ACARS SOUNDINGS SHOW A DEEP MIXED LAYER TO
ABOUT 550 MB, YIELDING DCAPE NEAR 1200 J/KG. SATELLITE AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS SHOW A FAIR AMOUNT OF HIGH LEVEL CUMULUS AND VIRGA.
THEREFORE, SOME GUSTY VRB WINDS TO 25-30 KTS POSSIBLE THROUGH 02Z,
AND AT LEAST A HIGH ENOUGH CHANCE TO WARRANT TEMPO VRBG25KTS
TIL 01Z AT KDEN AND KAPA. WILL WATCH ACCORDINGLY.
OUTSIDE OF THAT, VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST AT LEAST THROUGH 12Z
WEDNESDAY. WINDS SHOULD SETTLE A LITTLE MORE W-SW THAN NORMAL
OVERNIGHT, BEFORE A COLD FRONT ARRIVES BY ~11Z, SWITCHING WIND
AROUND TO THE N-NE WITH A FEW GUSTS 20-24 KTS. THERE IS MODEST
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT (AS NOTED BY A
STRATUS DECK IN EASTERN MONTANA), AND AN EARLIER ENOUGH ARRIVAL
DOES GIVE AT LEAST A 30-40% CHANCE OF A BKN CEILINGS BETWEEN
2,000 AND 3,500 FT AGL 13Z-18Z. ANY LOWER CEILING WOULD MOST
LIKELY BREAK/LIFT THEREAFTER, BUT MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALSO
BRING SCATTERED -SHRA INTO THE FORECAST AFTER ~21Z WEDNESDAY.
THERE WILL BE A GROWING CHANCE OF IMC (INCREASING TO 60% CHANCE
AFTER 00Z WEDNESDAY). WINDS WILL TURN MORE E-SE 18Z TUESDAY - 06Z
WEDNESDAY.

ISSUED AT 532 PM MDT MON MAR 30 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED AT KALS, KCOS, AND KPUB
THROUGH 24 HOURS. GUSTY WEST WINDS WILL PERSIST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS
AT ALL THREE TERMINALS, GUSTING BETWEEN 20-30 KNOTS. MID-LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL MOVE IN AND OUT, WITH CALMER WINDS OVERNIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED AT KALS IN THE AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE, A FRONT WILL MOVE IN
CLOSE TO THE END OF THE PERIOD AT KCOS, BRINGING GUSTY SOUTHEAST
WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THE LOW-END CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS.
WINDS AT KPUB SHOULD GENERALLY BE LESS GUSTY, AND THE CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS THERE IS NEAR ZERO AT THIS TIME, SO NO MENTION IN THIS ROUND
OF TAFS.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 629 PM CDT MON MAR 30 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS TAF CYCLE. WINDS WILL STAY
OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT WITH SOME GUSTS UPWARDS OF
20-25 KTS, PARTICULARLY AT KAMA. WINDS BEYOND 12-15Z ARE TRICKY,
AS THEY WILL DEPEND UPON ON FAR SOUTH A COLD FRONT GETS DURING THE
DAY. RIGHT NOW, KGUY HAS THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN NORTHERLY WINDS
BEHIND THE FRONT AND KDHT MAY ALSO END UP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
COLD FRONT. WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT COULD GUST UPWARDS OF 20-30
KTS. MID TO HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE IN ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES.
