DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2357 UTC SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 557 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
FORECAST IS ON TRACK WITH ONLY MINOR CHANGES. WE SEE A FEW HIGH
BASED SHOWERS/VIRGA DEVELOPING IN/NEAR THE MOUNTAINS AND ATTEMPTING
TO SPREAD ONTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS. WE DON'T SEE MUCH IN THE WAY
OF LOWER CEILINGS AND IMC CONCERNS UNTIL STRATUS DECK OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS SPREADS BACK WESTWARD. THAT MOST LIKELY ARRIVES
04Z-07Z AND THEN GRADUALLY LOWERS OVERNIGHT WITH CONTINUED
EASTERLY FLOW AND DENVER CYCLONE IN PLACE. THAT CYCLONE DOES BRING
SOME CONCERNS FOR WIND DIRECTION. KBJC IS ALREADY ON THE BACK
SIDE OF CYCLONE WITH NORTHERLY WINDS AND THOSE WILL STAY THROUGH
THE ENTIRE TAF PERIOD. KAPA WILL LIKELY TRANSITION FROM E-NE TO NW
05Z-08Z, WHILE KDEN WILL LIKELY STAY MORE E-NE UNTIL CYCLONE
PASSES NEARBY AND POTENTIALLY OVERHEAD WITH VRB WINDS AS EARLY AS
10Z-12Z SUNDAY. THERE IS MORE CERTAINTY THAT WINDS GO NW EVEN AT
KDEN AFTER 18Z-20Z SUNDAY, ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CYCLONE.
THERE IS STILL RELATIVELY HIGH CONFIDENCE (70-80% CHANCE) THAT
CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO AROUND 1000-1400 FT AGL AT ALL AIRPORTS
07Z-16Z, AND HAVE SOME CIGS BELOW 1000 FEET FOR A FEW HOURS
10Z-14Z. THEN EXPECT STRATUS TO BREAK 16Z-17Z, ALTHOUGH GIVE OR
TAKE AN HOUR OR TWO LIKE TODAY.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER 19Z SUNDAY. WE THINK THE COVERAGE OF
TSRA IS LIMITED (MLCAPE ONLY 200-400 J/KG) AND THE PROBABILITY
WOULD BE LIMITED TO ABOUT 30%. BUT AT THIS TIME, WENT WITH THE
VCTS FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS DURING THE MOST LIKELY TIME (20Z-23Z) WITH
TEMPO -SHRA AND G25KTS WITH PASSING SHOWERS (DCAPE ONLY ABOUT
300-500 J/KG). BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PASS TO THE EAST
BY ~23Z, WITH ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS BEHIND INITIAL CONVECTION. IT
WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR LOWER CEILINGS TO DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF
CONVECTION WITH SOME DOWNSLOPE JUST OFF THE DECK AFTER THE FIRST
BATCH OF SHOWERS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 542 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO EXPAND AND REACH THE GROUND THROUGH THE
EVENING. EXPECT VFR TO CONTINUE TO PREVAIL AT THE TAF SITES WITH
A FEW SITES REACHING ILS CONDITIONS TOWARD MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT
SHOWERS WILL COVER MOST OF THE AREA WITH ILS TO IFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING IN LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CLOUDS. AS WE MOVE
THROUGH SUNDAY INSTABILITY INCREASES INTRODUCING THE THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS. THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES COULD LEAD TO
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. GUSTY WINDS NEAR STORMS
AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS WELL.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 542 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO EXPAND AND REACH THE GROUND THROUGH THE
EVENING. EXPECT VFR TO CONTINUE TO PREVAIL AT THE TAF SITES WITH
A FEW SITES REACHING ILS CONDITIONS TOWARD MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT
SHOWERS WILL COVER MOST OF THE AREA WITH ILS TO IFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING IN LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CLOUDS. AS WE MOVE
THROUGH SUNDAY INSTABILITY INCREASES INTRODUCING THE THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS. THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES COULD LEAD TO
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. GUSTY WINDS NEAR STORMS
AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS WELL.

AVIATION...KSLC
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE
SPREADS INTO THE AREA, WITH CIGS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL ABOVE 6KFT
UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. NORTHWEST WINDS SHOULD STAY ON
THE LIGHT SIDE AT THE TERMINAL UNTIL A SLIGHTLY DELAYED DIURNAL
SHIFT TO SOUTHEAST AROUND 04Z, THOUGH AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT COULD CREATE SOME VICINITY MICROBURST WINDS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. RAIN SHOWERS MOVE NORTHWARD AND INCREASE IN INTENSITY,
EXPECTED TO BEGIN IMPACTING THE TERMINAL AROUND 10Z, ACCOMPANIED BY
GUSTY WINDS. PERIODS OF MVFR ARE LIKELY, WITH BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE
DURING THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION. A WESTERLY WIND SHIFT IS EXPECTED
AFTER 18Z.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE SPREADS INTO THE AREA. WINDS AT THE NORTHERN
TERMINALS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE UNTIL SHOWERS APPROACH THE
REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT, THOUGH AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT COULD
CREATE SOME VICINITY MICROBURST WINDS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. RAIN
IS EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS EXCEPT FOR SNOW AT EVW. PERIODS OF MVFR
ARE LIKELY, WITH BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE DURING THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION. SOUTHERN TERMINALS CAN EXPECT GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, BECOMING ERRATIC WITH SHOWERS. VFR CIGS ARE
POSSIBLE AT CDC, WITH A 10 PERCENT CHANCE OF REDUCED VISIBILITY
THERE AS WELL.

THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. PRECIPITATION CHANCES MOVE IN THE FROM THE
WEST-SOUTHWEST STARTING AROUND 12Z. INITIAL PRECIPITATION FEATURES
LOW CLOUDS AND AND SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW MIX. PRECIPITATION IS MORE
LIKELY TO BE RAIN THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING AS TEMPERATURES WARM. BY
AROUND 18Z, PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO TRANSITION TO A MORE CONVECTIVE
MODE, MEANING SCATTERED SHOWERS. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR A
THUNDERSTORM DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON, WITH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS BEING
THE MAIN HAZARD. CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IS GREATEST SOUTHWARDS,
WITH NORTHERN LOCATIONS LIKE KCOD AND KWRL HAVING THE LOWEST CHANCES.

A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN NEAR THE COLORADO AND WYOMING BORDER
TONIGHT BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEAST SLOWLY AS A WARM FRONT AHEAD OF THE
NEXT PACIFIC UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
MOVEE EASTWARD INTO UTAH AND WYOMING BY SUNDAY MORNING. WIDESPREAD
LOW CIGS, PERIODS OF RAIN AND SNOW, AND SOME FOG POSSIBLE IN BETWEEN
BANDS OF SHOWERS THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE FOR MOST TERMINALS
AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT WITH MODELS TRENDING TOWARDS IFR CIGS
BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z FOR ALL EASTERN PLAINS TERMINALS AND CONTINUING
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR SOME LOCATIONS. EXPECT UPSLOPE WINDS TO
CONTINUE WITH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OCCASIONALLY GUSTY TONIGHT.
BANDS OF RAINFALL (SNOW ABOVE 6500 FEET) WILL DEVELOP DURING THE TAF
PERIOD, WITH THE MAIN BAND DEVELOPING ALONG THE SURFACE WARM FRONT
BY 12Z SUNDAY. MAY SEE PERIODS OF IFR VIS, ESPECIALLY AROUND KRWL,
KLAR, AND KCYS, WHERE SOME SNOWFALL IS LIKELY. DENSE FOG IS POSSIBLE
AROUND KCYS BETWEEN 09Z AND 15Z, BUT CONFIDENCE IS ONLY AROUND 20%

OVERCAST SKIES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH INCREASING
PRECIPITATION CHANCES INTO SUNDAY MORNING. RAIN SHOWERS WILL MOVE
BACK INTO THE REGION AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY MORNING FOR MOST LOCATIONS
DECREASING CEILINGS DOWN TO 500 FEET OR LESS AS WELL AS REDUCING
VISIBILITY DUE TO RAIN AND LIGHT FOG. SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON, BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW IN
DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVAILING
FORECAST. ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD CAUSE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AT
BOTH TERMINALS AS WELL, BUT OTHERWISE WINDS WILL REMAIN UNDER 12
KNOTS FOR THE MAJORITY OF SUNDAY.

HIGH-BASED SHOWERS AND AREAS OF VIRGA ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN

LEVEL TURBULENCE. MID LEVEL CIGS WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET OVER
MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM BUT LOWER AND PERSIST IN THE AREA
FROM NEAR FARMINGTON INTO THE NORTHERN MTS. THERE IS A 10-20%
CHANCE THAT CIGS WILL FALL BELOW 3,000FT OVER NORTHWEST NM. THE
FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO WIDESPREAD STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS AND PERHAPS
AREAS OF BLDU SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT WIND
GUSTS WILL EXCEED 40KT AREAWIDE WITH GUSTS >50KT IN THE AREA FROM
NEAR LAS VEGAS TO CLINES CORNERS AND RUIDOSO.
