A MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY NIGHT. OBSERVATIONS INDICATE LOW CLOUDS ARE NORTHEAST OF
THE DENVER AREA. HIGH CLOUDS ARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT
THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE LOW CLOUDS, BUT THE LOW CLOUDS SHOULD
MOVE INTO THE DENVER AREA BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z. EASTERLY WINDS WILL
CONTINUE OVER EASTERN COLORADO, WITH A CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY
SOMEWHERE OVER/NEAR THE DENVER AREA SUNDAY MORNING. A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS COLORADO SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
BRINGING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED/SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS.
CHANCE FOR A THUNDERSTORM AT THE DENVER AIRPORTS IS 20-30 PERCENT
AND OPTED TO GO WITH A PROB30 FOR THUNDERSTORMS 20-23Z SUNDAY.
CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO 3000-6000 FEET UNDER THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL LINGER PAST 00Z MONDAY,
AND ARE EXPECTED TO END BY 06Z MONDAY.

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

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1141 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
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.

IFR IMPACTS ARE THEN EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING, WITH RAIN TRANSITIONING BACK TO SNOW AFTER 00Z MONDAY,
WITH THE MAIN IMPACTS TRANSITIONING TO EAST OF THE DIVIDE. THE
MOST PERSISTENT IFR IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED AT KCPR, KLND, AND
KRIW. CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY IMPROVE FOR KBPI AND KPNA AFTER

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1055 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
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
BETWEEN BANDS OF SHOWERS THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
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.

ISSUED AT 1114 PM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
LOW CEILINGS WILL IMPACT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY SUNDAY. AT KMCK,
MORNING SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL
RESULT IN OCCASIONAL VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS, ENDING BY AROUND
17Z. AT KGLD, MID AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE, WITH ABOUT A 30% CHANCE OF DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE
TERMINAL WITH REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS. A SEVERE
STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT KGLD, WHICH WOULD ADDITIONALLY
BRING A THREAT OF HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.
DODGE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1049 UTC SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 545 AM CDT SUN APR 26 2026
LOW CLOUDS WITH FOG WILL DOMINATE MUCH OF THE TAF TIME PERIOD
FOR ALL THE TERMINALS WITH IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z.
BY 19Z DRIER AIR SHOULD START TO LIFT THE CEILINGS AT LBL TO VFR
AND AT GCK AND DDC BY 22Z. HYS WILL HAVE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF
STAYING IN IFR TO MVFR FLIGHT CATEGORY THROUGH 12Z MONDAY.
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE AROUND THE
TERMINALS THIS MORNING AND AGAIN THIS EVENING. AS A RESULT
PROB30 AND TEMPOS ARE IN THE TAFS TO REFLECT THE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL. THE STRONGER STORM SYSTEM THIS EVENING COULD LEAD TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AROUND GCK, DDC, AND POSSIBLY HYS BETWEEN
22-05Z. THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS OVER 50 KTS AND
LARGE HAIL.

AROUND 50 KT FROM LAS VEGAS SOUTHWARD TO SANTA ROSA, GRAN QUIVIRA,

EASTERN PLAINS. IN ADDITION, SCATTERED-TO-ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TODAY MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE
SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS, WHERE THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION AS WELL. THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU GO FROM THE
CO BORDER, THE LIGHTER THE SHOWERS WILL BE. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE
SOME GUSTY VIRGA SHOWERS IN THE MIX THE CLOSER YOU GET TO I-40 ON
THE SOUTH END OF THE SHOWERY AREA. INSTABILITY LOOKS SUFFICIENT
SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR ISOLATED AND GUSTY DRY THUNDERSTORMS FROM LAS
VEGAS TO RATON, AND ALSO FROM RATON TO CLAYTON, ON THE EAST END OF
THE SHOWERY AREA. IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT SNOW
TODAY ABOVE 9,000 FEET IN ELEVATION MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINS NEAR
