DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1932 UTC SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1238 PM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS THAT SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE ALREADY
DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND QUICKLY MOVING OFF THE
FOOTHILLS. ALL AIRPORTS WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF SEEING A FEW
LIGHTNING STRIKES THIS AFTERNOON AS THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY PRESENT (200-400 J/KG CAPE) A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO TO
FORM OVER THE DENVER METRO AREA. VISIBILITIES MAY BRIEFLY REDUCE
TO ABOUT 3-4SM WITH THE STRONGEST SHOWERS. GUSTY WINDS MAY ALSO
OCCUR WITH DOWNBURSTS AND ANY RESULTING OUTFLOWS. SHOWER ACTIVITY
WILL TAPER OFF AROUND 03Z THIS EVENING.
WINDS ARE CURRENTLY N-NE AT ALL THREE AIRPORTS BUT THIS IS LIKELY TO
CHANGE WITH THE ONGOING SHOWER ACTIVITY AS WELL AS DUE TO A CYCLONE
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST AND OVER THE EAST COLORADO PLAINS.
WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT BEFORE A COLD FRONT
ARRIVES BETWEEN 10Z AND 13Z, BRINGING A NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT.
LOW CEILINGS WILL BE A CONCERN IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS MONDAY AND
THERE IS RELATIVELY HIGH CONFIDENCE (70-80% CHANCE) THAT MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE OCCURRING DUE TO CEILINGS DROPPING TO
1000-2000FT, AND POTENTIALLY BELOW 1000FT AT KBJC. THERE IS ALSO A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PATCHY FOG, BUT WE DECIDED TO ONLY INCLUDE A
VCFG FOR NOW DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE. CEILINGS SHOULD IMPROVE BY
AROUND 17Z ALTHOUGH SOME LOW CLOUDS MAY LINGER UNTIL A BIT LATER
AS WE HAVE SEEN THE LAST TWO MORNINGS. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON STARTING AROUND 19-20Z.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1111 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CHANCES OCCUR
THROUGH TODAY AND INTO MONDAY MORNING. INDIVIDUAL TAFS VARY GREATLY
BY PRECIPITATION TYPE, TIMING, AND CLOUD CEILINGS. HOWEVER, THE
OVERALL TREND IS FOR MVFR AND IFR PREVAILING CONDITIONS MOST
LOCATIONS. THIS AFTERNOON, SHOWERS BECOME MORE SCATTERED, SO RAIN
MAY NOT PREVAIL, BUT SHOULD OCCUR FREQUENTLY ENOUGH THAT PREVAILING
GROUPS WERE USED. A COLD FRONT THEN MOVES THROUGH STARTING THIS
EVENING, BRINGING A NORTH WIND SHIFT (STRONGEST FOR KCOD, KCPR, AND
KWRL) AND COLDER TEMPERATURES, TRANSITIONING RAIN TO SNOW.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TREND DOWN OVERNIGHT, WITH MODELS IN
DISAGREEMENT IN HOW QUICKLY CLOUD CEILINGS INCREASE TO VFR. FOR NOW,
HAVE TAFS WITH MORE PESSIMISTIC CEILINGS, KEEPING MVFR CLOUDS
CEILINGS TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1158 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
A SERIES OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE THROUGH FROM COLORADO AND MOVE
NORTHEAST. KRWL AND KLAR HAVE THE HIGHEST CHANCES OF SEEING
TSRA AS THEY HAVE SOME CLEARING AND HIGHER BASED CLOUDS BETWEEN
3,000 AND 8,000FT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CAPE. THE LOW CLOUDS ARE
EXPECTED TO STAY OVER THE PANHANDLE THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE
DAY. THESE SHOWERS SHOULD HELP RAISE THE CEILING INTO
POTENTIALLY MVFR RANGE BUT BY EARLY MORNING (12Z) THE PANHANDLE
IS EXPECTED TO BE SOCKED IN AGAIN AT AROUND 500FT OR LESS. THEN
WASH, RINSE, AND REPEAT FOR SHOWERS STARTING BACK UP IN THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING TIMEFRAME ON MONDAY.

GLD: ONGOING IFR CEILINGS THIS MORNING WILL LIFT TO MVFR DURING
THE EARLY AFTERNOON. FURTHER IMPROVEMENT TO VFR IS EXPECTED TO
OCCUR DURING THE MID-LATE AFTERNOON. IMPROVEMENT WILL LIKELY BE
SHORT-LIVED, AS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS WILL
RAPIDLY RETURN AFTER SUNSET AND PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT MAY BEGIN TO OCCUR NEAR THE END OF THE 18Z
TAF PERIOD. LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SE-ESE AND
MODESTLY INCREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH TONIGHT, BECOMING NORTHERLY BY SUNRISE.
BREEZY, 15-25 KNOT NNW WINDS WILL FOLLOW, AFTER SUNRISE, AND
PERSIST INTO MON AFTERNOON.
MCK: ONGOING IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST THROUGH THE
MAJORITY OF THE 18Z TAF PERIOD. THERE MAY BE A SHORT WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR DURING THE MID-LATE
AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, DETERIORATION TO LIFR IS LIKELY TO OCCUR
AFTER SUNSET. IMPROVEMENT TO IFR-MVFR MAY BEGIN TO OCCUR LATE
MONDAY MORNING, NEAR THE END OF THE 18Z TAF PERIOD.
LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS WILL BECOME ESE OR E AND MODESTLY INCREASE
TO 10-15 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH
