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 /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1055 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
VFR TO MVFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP AT KCOS AND KPUB BY 07Z AS
ENHANCED EAST TO SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE WINDS CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NIGHT. CIGS COULD DROP INTO THE IFR CATEGORY AT KCOS TOWARDS
MORNING WITH LOWER END MVFR CIGS AT KPUB TOWARDS DAWN. CIGS AT
BOTH TERMINALS WILL BREAK TOWARDS 18Z WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS INCREASING DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE SHIFTING FROM
THE SOUTHWEST AND GUSTING UP TO 40 KTS AS A BROKEN LINE OF -SHRA/-TSRA
MOVES OFF THE MOUNTAINS AND PASSES THROUGH THE TERMINALS AROUND
20-21Z. KCOS WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE OF -TSRA AT THE TERMINAL
WHICH WILL BE CARRIED IN A PROB30 GROUP THROUGH 00Z. KPUB IS
MORE LIKELY TO SEE ENHANCED OUTFLOW WINDS BUT NO RAINFALL, SO
VCSH SHOULD SUFFICE TO REFLECT CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT TO THE
WIND. OTHERWISE WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE WEST TO NORTHWEST AT
BOTH TERMINALS AND DECREASE TOWARDS 03-04Z.
ENHANCED SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AT KALS WITH
VCSH POSSIBLE AT TIMES THROUGH SUN MORNING. WINDS PICK UP IN
EARNEST AROUND 16Z WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING UP TO 35 MPH BY
LATE MORNING AND UP TO 45 MPH THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS COULD PASS IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL
DURING THE AFTERNOON, BUT ODDS LOOK LOWER THAN THIS MORNING SO
WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE AFTERNOON TAF PERIODS JUST YET. -KT

GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0421 UTC SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
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.

A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN NEAR THE COLORADO AND WYOMING BORDER
TONIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY LIFTING NORTHEAST SLOWLY AS A WARM FRONT AHEAD
OF THE NEXT PACIFIC UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. WIDESPREAD LOW CIGS AND
IFR CONDITIONS, PERIODS OF RAIN AND SNOW, AND SOME FOG POSSIBLE IN

HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: IFR CIGS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE WESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WITH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS. EXPECT
THESE WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF SUNDAY, SO TRANSITIONED TO
PREVAILING IFR TO LIFR CIGS FOR ALL WESTERN NEBRASKA TERMINALS. KCDR
WILL BE THE LAST TO SEE IFR CONDITIONS...TOWARDS DAYBREAK SUNDAY.
PERIODS OF RAINFALL AND/OR SNOW/RAIN MIX WILL RESULT IN BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS AT TIMES.
LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS WITH SOME DELAY
IN TIMING AND ANOTHER BAND OF SNOW LIFTING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING. KLAR AND KRWL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING
ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL FROM THIS WARM FRONT AS IT SLOWLY LIFTS NORTH,
SO ADDED SOME MENTION OF SNOW AND IFR CONDITIONS. KCYS HAS THE BEST
CHANCE TO SEE LOCALLY DENSE FOG WITH MODELS BECOMING MORE AGGRESSIVE
WITH LOWERING VIS. ADDED VIS BETWEEN 1/2 TO 1 MILE THROUGH 13Z
SUNDAY.

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.

THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA, BUT AGAIN, VERY ISOLATED NATURE WILL

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.
