Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1155 AM MDT Fri May 3 2024
VFR conditions expected for the TAF period. Breezy S/SSE winds
being observed at the terminals early this afternoon. This puts a
slight delay on the forecasted SW winds. Within the next 1-2
hours winds should turn more SW ahead of the incoming front. Front
will likely across the terminals in the 21-23z timeframe with a
brief push of gusty N/NNE winds behind in (Gust 25-35kts). Winds
turn more NE after 00z with weaker gusts than the initial push
(G20-25 kts). Showers and storms develop on the plains around the
front timeframe. Although they should remain clear of the
terminals, can`t rule out the potential for outflows/variable
gusts from showers set up to the north and east. Ovenright, winds
decrease becoming light ENE/NE. Saturday morning winds turn SE
increasing to 8-10 kts by late morning.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail for KALS and KPUB, and mostly
for KCOS, throughout the forecast period. There will be some lower
decks moving in later which will reduce CIGs to MVFR criteria during
the morning hours from approximately 11 to 13Z. CIGs will should
remain elevated enough to be above MVFR criteria for KPUB from 13 to
15Z. FROPA will occur for KCOS around 01Z and KPUB around 02Z, which
will result in a windshift with gusty NE`ly winds thereafter, with
gusts close to 40 kts at both terminals. Winds will be synoptically
influenced at all terminals. There is very low confidence (less than
10 percent) of SHRA or possibly TSRA to be in the vicinity of KCOS
and KPUB right around the time of FROPA, although due to the lack of
confidence, this was left out of the TAF. -Stewey

A cold front trying to drop into northeast Utah and northwest
Colorado this afternoon will bring ceilings generally between
5000 and 10000 feet and a chance of showers. The main threat
with any showers that do develop will be gusty and erratic
outflow winds. The influence of this front is expected to
stretch as far south as KEGE and KRIL, maybe KASE, but
remaining terminals south of this will not see any direct
impacts. Strong and gusty westerly to southwesterly winds will
be the main issue across the entire region, with gusts of 30-40
knots possible especially along and south of the I-70 corridor.
Due to a combination of these winds and ongoing work on the
runway at KGJT, occasional reports of VIS less than 2SM and
ceilings less than 200 feet are possible as dust interacts with
the sensor. VIS is expected to remain past 6SM and ceilings
above 10000 feet. Winds will diminish after sunset, becoming
light and following typical diurnal patterns. VFR conditions
will prevail through the next 24 hours.

A cold front trying to drop into northeast Utah and northwest
Colorado this afternoon will bring ceilings generally between
5000 and 10000 feet and a chance of showers. The main threat
with any showers that do develop will be gusty and erratic
outflow winds. The influence of this front is expected to
stretch as far south as KEGE and KRIL, maybe KASE, but
remaining terminals south of this will not see any direct
impacts. Strong and gusty westerly to southwesterly winds will
be the main issue across the entire region, with gusts of 30-40
knots possible especially along and south of the I-70 corridor.
Due to a combination of these winds and ongoing work on the
runway at KGJT, occasional reports of VIS less than 2SM and
ceilings less than 200 feet are possible as dust interacts with
the sensor. VIS is expected to remain past 6SM and ceilings
above 10000 feet. Winds will diminish after sunset, becoming
light and following typical diurnal patterns. VFR conditions
will prevail through the next 24 hours.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
An upper-level low is rotating through southwest Wyoming late Friday
morning. Cold core and added lift will generate scattered snow
showers and potentially brief MVFR conditions until around 21Z.
In general, terminals remain VFR through the period. Gusty west
to northwest wind 15-25kts becomes widespread by mid-afternoon
on the backside of the upper low. Wind speeds diminish early this
evening and lingering mid-cloud decks give way to a clearing
sky. Mountain tops frequently obscured above 10K feet MSL until
01Z/Saturday.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Moisture axis streaming across central Wyoming coupled with jet
energy will support IFR/MVFR at KCPR until 20Z-21Z Friday.
Improvement is already being noted at KRIW and KLND where the
snow ends and VFR returns between 18Z-20Z Friday. KCOD sees VFR
conditions develop during that same time period. Mid-cloud
decks will clear between 23Z-02Z Friday evening. A clearing sky
and sufficient boundary layer moisture may allow for fog
development at KCPR and KRIW between 10Z-14Z/Saturday. This will
need to be monitored for inclusion with the next routine TAF
issuance. Mountains frequently obscured until 21Z, with tops
obscured until 01Z/Saturday.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Snow showers have been moving through KRWL with an associated
cold front, dropping conditions to IFR and will likely continue
over the next few hours, clearing up by this evening. These
snow showers will continue moving east and will begin to affect
KLAR over the next two hours, and potentially KCYS in the next
four hours. Precipitation type will more likely be rain by the
time it reaches KCYS. In addition, thunderstorms will likely
begin developing in the eastern Nebraska panhandle this
afternoon, if they were to develop and affect any terminal, it
will most likely be KAIA. As the cold front moves across
southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska, winds will turn more
northerly with strong wind gusts 30 to 40+ knots.

Strong south winds continue this afternoon for terminals south
of Highway 2. A cold front will then slide through the area this
afternoon and evening, with a line of thunderstorms expected to
develop along this boundary. Gusty, erratic winds and MVFR
visibilities can be expected with the passage of these storms.
Additionally MVFR ceilings are expected to develop in the wake
of the cold front/thunderstorms, and will persist into early
tomorrow morning. Clouds will quickly clear from west to east
by late tomorrow morning, with VFR expected through the end of
the valid period.

VFR expected to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK through this
afternoon. Isolated storms may develop in northwest Kansas late
this afternoon, but probability of directly impacting the
terminal is low. Tonight, a strong cold front will move through
both terminals between 02-04z. The front will be accompanied by
thunderstorms and strong surface winds shifting to the north.
Some visibility restrictions due to blowing dust will be
possible along and immediately behind the front. Storms will
continue south during the late evening with surface winds
gradually diminishing through the overnight.

VFR is expected to continue at all airports through at least
00z Sat. Broken mid level clouds will prevail through Friday
afternoon with increasing S/SE winds, gusting to near 25 kts.
A strong cold front is scheduled to sweep through the airports
in the 06-09z Sat time range, accompanied by an abrupt, strong
northerly wind shift, gusting to near 30 kts. Numerous rain
showers and thunderstorms are expected to accompany frontal
passage. Confidence was high enough to include convective
TEMPO groups in this 18z set of TAFs for all airports, in this
06-09z range. Outflow winds from the strongest storms may
approach 50 kts. Rain showers are expected to diminish from
NW to SE through 12z Sat, with widespread MVFR stratus ceilings
through Saturday morning.

IFR to MVFR ceilings are present over KAMA and KDHT but should
gradually rise through the afternoon to VFR. A thunderstorm is
possible at KAMA and KDHT later this afternoon through tonight,
but confidence is too low to include in the TAF at this time.
Low-level wind shear is expected briefly at KGUY just ahead of the
cold front, from 06z to 09z. A cold front moves in tonight and
changes winds to the north. A return to MVFR ceilings is possible
at KAMA in the morning.

The primary aviation impacts the next 24 hrs will be storms over
northeast NM this afternoon, a sharp northerly wind shift across
eastern NM tonight, MVFR low cigs and light showers overnight and
Saturday morning across eastern NM, then strong canyon winds at
KABQ around sunrise. High-based showers and storms will develop
along the I-25 corridor between KRTN and KLVS by 20Z then shift
east toward KCAO and KTCC by 00Z before exiting into TX thru 03Z.
The strongest wind gusts of 25 to 35 kt are likely from KCAO to
KTCC between 1am and 5am followed by low cig development in the
wake of the front east of the central mt chain. Gap winds are
expected to peak at KABQ near 15Z with an Airport Weather Warning
highly likely.
