DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1134 UTC FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 526 AM MDT FRI JUN 26 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. CURRENT SOUTHERLY DRAINAGE WINDS SHOULD SEE A SLIGHT SW-
WARD SHIFT THROUGH THE NEXT 2 HRS BEFORE GIVING WAY TO A BRIEF
WINDOW OF WEAKER AND MORE VRB WINDS IN THE MORNING. NEAR MIDDAY,
EXPECT DEVELOPMENT OF E/SE FLOW, WHICH WILL STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON, PARTICULARLY FOR KDEN AND KAPA.
SCATTERED SHRA AND TSRA ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR 20Z AND
MIGRATE EAST, WITH THE GREATEST CHANCES OF IMPACTS BEING FOR
KDEN. IT'S A TOUGH CALL BETWEEN THE PROB30 GROUP AND A TEMPO FOR
AFTERNOON CONVECTION, BUT CONFIDENCE IN TSRA IMPACTS IS CURRENTLY
CLOSER TO ~40% (AND 20-30% FOR KBJC AND KAPA). OUTFLOWS WILL BE
OF CONCERN DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON PERIOD WITH GUSTS AS
HIGH AS 30-35 KTS POSSIBLE. GUSTS TO ~25 KTS CAN BE EXPECTED
IRRESPECTIVE OF TSRA ACTIVITY IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS.
ACTIVITY SHOULD DWINDLE PAST 00Z, AND END BY 01Z AT THE LATEST,
WITH WINDS CONTINUE TO VEER SE AND EVENTUALLY S OVERNIGHT.
DRAINAGE WINDS WILL REMAIN HEFTY THROUGH EARLY SAT AM AND MAY
PRODUCE GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS AT TIMES FOR KDEN AND KAPA.

AVIATION...KSLC
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT,
BECOMING GUSTY AFTER 13Z AND CONTINUING TO INCREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. WINDS MAY FURTHER INCREASE TO AS HIGH AS 40KTS SHORTLY
BEFORE A COLD FRONT ARRIVING BETWEEN 01-02Z, WHICH WILL PRODUCE A
QUICK TRANSITION TO STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF ANY BLOWING DUST. WILDFIRE SMOKE MAY ALSO
CAUSE SLANTWISE VIS REDUCTIONS AT TIMES.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, ESPECIALLY
INCREASING AFTER SUNRISE. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BE VERY GUSTY
DURING THE AFTERNOON, REACHING BROADLY 30-45KTS ACROSS THE AREA.
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO NW UT BY LATE AFTERNOON,
PRODUCING A QUICK TRANSITION TO STRONG WESTERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS. HOWEVER, THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY DISSIPATE BEFORE REACHING
SOUTH OF KPVU. WHILE MOST SITES WILL REMAIN VFR, SOME SITES COULD
SEE VIS REDUCTIONS AT TIMES DUE TO BLOWING DUST AND/OR WILDFIRE
SMOKE.

ISSUED AT 419 AM MDT FRI JUN 26 2026
MOST TERMINALS SHOULD BE VFR THROUGH MOST THE TAF PERIOD.
ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE AROUND THROUGH 18Z BUT NOT ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE TO PINPOINT AT THIS TIME. INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW
WILL BRING A GUSTY WIND WITH GUSTS TO 15 TO 30 KNOTS LIKELY AT
MOST TAF SITES WITH THE EARLIEST AND STRONGEST GUSTS LIKELY IN
VICINITY OF KCPR THEN AT ALL TERMINALS BY 19Z. LINGERING
MOISTURE MAY BRING AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM, MAINLY TO
THE NORTHERN TERMINALS, MAINLY IN VICINITY OF KCOD, KCPR, KJAC
AND KWRL AFTER 18Z AND ENDING BY 00Z. A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
CAN'T BE RULED OUT AT KRIW AND KLND, BUT WITH THE CHANCE LESS
THAN 20 PERCENT WE LEFT IT OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW.
INCREASING MOISTURE WILL BRING LOWERING CEILINGS AT KBPI, KPNA
AND KJAC AFTER 06Z SATURDAY BUT MOST PRECIPITATION SHOULD HOLD
OFF UNTIL AFTER 12Z SATURDAY EXCEPT IN VICINITY OF KJAC.

LOW CLOUDS AND SOME FOG WILL LINGER ACROSS FAR EASTERN WYOMING AND

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AFTER 20Z THIS

OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST LATE THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: IFR TO LIFR VIS AND CIGS WILL LINGER FOR
KAIA, KBFF, AND POSSIBLY KCDR UNTIL 14Z AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
REMAINS NEAR THE SURFACE. A DRIER AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN
MOVING INTO WYOMING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON, WHICH SHOULD LIMIT
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE COMPARED TO THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. EXPECT
WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE
INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA. KEPT PROB30 GROUPS AND VCTS FOR THE TERMINALS
WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCE TO SEE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BETWEEN 21Z
TODAY AND 03Z SATURDAY. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN, STRONG GUSTY WINDS, AND
MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.

FOR KGLD & KMCK... IFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH ABOUT
15-18Z AS CEILING SHAVE LOWER TO 1500FT OR LESS. CEILINGS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO LOWER THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH BOTH SITES LIKELY TO
REACH 200-400FT AT TIME THROUGH THE FIRST 6 HOURS. MIST AND FOG
ARE ALSO MOVING THROUGH THE AREA, WITH VISIBILITY GENERALLY
AROUND 1-3SM. AFTER 15Z, CONDITIONS SHOULD STEADILY IMPROVE AND
BECOME VFR BY 18-21Z. THE OTHER THING TO WATCH FOR IS A LESS
THAN 10% CHANCE FOR STORMS BETWEEN 00-06Z THAT WOULD MOVE IN
FROM THE WEST IF THEY CAN MAKE IT.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 629 AM CDT FRI JUN 26 2026
AVIATION WEATHER WILL BE POOR MUCH OF THE DAY, STARTING OFF AS
FOG (DENSE AT TIMES) THROUGH THE MID-MORNING HOURS. LOW STRATUS
WILL PERSIST THEREAFTER WITH WIDESPREAD LIFR/IFR FLIGHT CATEGORY
THROUGH LATE MORNING. CEILING WILL SLOWLY LIFT THROUGH IFR TO
MVFR EARLY AFTERNOON, BUT EROSION OF CEILING WILL BE SLOW THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT THROUGH THE DAY, SO ADVECTION OF
A DIFFERENT (PARTICULARLY DRIER) AIR MASS IS NOT EXPECTED
THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD.
