DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1738 UTC FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1135 AM MDT FRI JUN 5 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. GOES-19
SATELLITE IMAGERY EARLIER THIS MORNING DEPICTED SOME LOW CLOUDS
ACROSS NORTHEAST COLORADO AS CLOSE TO THE TAF SITES AS NORTHEAST
MORGAN COUNTY. THESE CLOUDS HAVE SINCE SCATTERED OUT. SOME MID-
LEVEL CLOUDS ARE MOVING OVER KDEN AT THE PRESENT TIME.
FOR THIS AFTERNOON, VIRGA SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED MAINLY FOR AREAS
NEAR THE PALMER DIVIDE, POTENTIALLY INCLUDING KAPA WHERE A TEMPO
IS IN PLACE. KDEN COULD NARROWLY AVOID THESE VIRGA SHOWERS TODAY,
BUT SOME GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS TO AROUND 25 KTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE
FROM THESE SHOWERS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH. NO IMPACTS FROM VIRGA
ARE EXPECTED TODAY AT KBJC.
WINDS WILL TURN TO DRAINAGE TONIGHT, BUT WILL STILL BE AROUND 10
KTS. WINDS SHOULD HAVE A SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY COMPONENT FOR
MOST OF THE DAY TOMORROW. FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON, HAVE INTRODUCED
A PROB30 FOR VIRGA SHOWERS. THE LATEST HRRR MODEL RUNS HAVE
DEPICTED SCATTERED VIRGA SHOWERS, DCAPE AS HIGH AS 1500 J/KG, AND
DECENT MID-LEVEL MOISTURE. OTHER CAMS ARE ALSO SHOWING SOME
SCATTERED VIRGA SHOWERS NEAR THE TAF SITES. THESE SHOWERS COULD
PRODUCE WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 30 KTS AND BRIEFLY LOWER THE CLOUD
DECK TO ABOUT 10000 FT AGL.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION...KSLC
VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. CLEAR
SKIES THROUGH THIS EVENING GIVES WAY TO INCREASING MID TO HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS OVERNIGHT. GENERALLY LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS SHIFT
SOUTHEASTERLY AFTER 03Z, BEFORE INCREASING OUT OF THE SOUTH AFTER
09Z. IF WINDS MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE (80% CHANCE), GUSTS MAY EXCEED
30 KTS AT TIMES THROUGH THE MORNING. THERE IS A 20% CHANCE THAT
WINDS DO NOT MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE, INSTEAD CREATING POTENTIAL FOR
LLWS. OTHERWISE, GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KTS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER 18Z.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL FOR ALL
REGIONAL TERMINALS, WITH GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
AIRSPACE AND INCREASING MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
AIRSPACE. GENERALLY LIGHT DIURNAL WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS
EVENING, GRADUALLY INCREASING OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST EARLY IN
THE MORNING, WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTS 20-30 KTS THROUGH THE EVENING.

UPPER-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE OVER WYOMING TODAY HAS BROUGHT VERY
CLEAR SKIES WITH VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TAF SITES. BREEZY/GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST SITES THIS AFTERNOON, WITH
SOME GUSTS REACHING 20-25 KTS. HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL MOVE INTO
WESTERN WY BETWEEN 06/03-06Z THIS EVENING AND SPREAD EASTWARD

STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON SUNDAY.
MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHWEST
WY SATURDAY, BUT VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL. AS MOISTURE
INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY, NORTHWEST WY FROM THE TETONS TO THE
NORTHERN ABSAROKAS SHOULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS SATURDAY
EVENING. SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE BY 06/17Z AND
INCREASE BY 06/19Z TO 10-20 KTS WITH 20-30 KT GUSTS AT NEARLY
ALL TAF SITES.

DEVELOP OVER THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE OVERNIGHT, LEADING TO SOME
GUSTY CONDITIONS. LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE COULD CREEP INTO THE
EASTERN PANHANDLE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, LEADING TO A LOW
CHANCE OF MVFR CIGS.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGHOUT TODAY AND TONIGHT
ACROSS MOST OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. WINDS CONTINUE TO
SHIFT ACROSS THE REGION, AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TRACKS ACROSS THE
REGION, WITH GUSTY WINDS ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. WIND GUSTS ARE
EXPECTED TO CALM BY THE LATE AFTERNOON, BEHIND THE FRONT. OVERNIGHT,
WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON POTENTIAL PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL NEBRASKA, AS AMPLE MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS
MAY ALLOW SHALLOW FOG. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS STILL ON THE LOWER
SIDE, SO MAY SEE CHANGES WITH THIS IN FOLLOWING FORECASTS.

PERIOD. ONGOING MVFR CEILINGS ALONG THE NEBRASKA/KANSAS BORDER
AT 15Z ARE EVER-SO-SLOWLY DRIFTING SOUTHWARD INTO CHEYENNE
COUNTY, KS. RECENT HIGH-RES MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE
AFOREMENTIONED CEILINGS WILL SCATTER-OUT AND/OR LIFT TO VFR
PRIOR TO REACHING THE GOODLAND TERMINAL DURING THE LATE MORNING
TO EARLY AFTERNOON. NW TO NNW WINDS AT 12-15 KNOTS THIS MORNING
WILL SHIFT TO THE NNE AND DECREASE TO 8-12 KNOTS DURING THE
EARLY AFTERNOON. LIGHT WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE TAF PERIOD, VEERING TO THE EAST DURING THE LATE AFT-EARLY
EVE AND SOUTH TONIGHT-SAT MORNING.
MCK: ONGOING (AS OF 15Z) LIFR TO IFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO
SCATTER-OUT AND/OR LIFT TO VFR BY EARLY AFTERNOON. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF
PERIOD. ANY SHOWERS/STORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ARE
EXPECTED TO BE CONFINED WELL S AND E (25+ MILES) OF THE MCCOOK
TERMINAL. LIGHT (~6-12 KNOT) E TO NNE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD.

HOWEVER WITH THE LOW CHANCES AND DECREASING TRENDS IT WAS EXCLUDED
FROM THE TAF.
