Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday/...
Issued at 1136 PM MDT Tue Apr 30 2024
VFR to prevail through Wednesday. A few showers and perhaps a
brief thunderstorm will pass close to DEN or APA through 08Z, then
dry conditions are expected through at least 20Z Wednesday. Winds
will be the main challenge with south to southeast winds expected
through 18Z Wednesday. Winds could turn southwest to northwest
16-19Z if a Denver Cyclone forms. Eventually a cold front will
bring north winds after 19Z. Scattered showers are expected to
form after 21Z and most numerous after 00Z Thursday. There is a
slight chance (10-20%) for a thunderstorm as well. Drier air
moving into the area will bring the showers to end and help clear
skies after 06Z Thursday.

Another frontal boundary will impact the region tonight and
Wednesday with showers and thunderstorms possible across the
northern tier of the area. Most activity will be confined to the
terrain with a few showers drifting over valleys and delivering
gusty outflow winds under virga showers. Terminals will see
inconsistent periods of VFR to IFR conditions around shower
activity, as well as gusty winds and small hail.

gusty outflow winds under virga showers. Terminals will see
inconsistent periods of VFR to IFR conditions around shower
activity, as well as gusty winds and small hail.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail today across western and
north central Nebraska, with MVFR conditions across southwest
Nebraska this evening. Bands of mid cloud are observed on satellite
tonight, and are expected to persist at both terminals throughout
the TAF period. Showers and thunderstorms will move across the
region this evening, but have omitted thunder from TAFs for now
until confidence in timing and location is higher. Winds this
afternoon have potential to be gusty out of the southeast, and
should calm this evening, outside of potential erratic winds with
thunderstorms.

KGLD...VFR conditions are expected through 16z. A northeast wind
under 10kts at taf issuance will slowly veer to the east through
sunrise. From 12z-16z, east-southeast winds slowly increase with
gusts up to 30kts. From 17z-01z, east-southeast winds continue
to produce gusts up to 25kts or so. The possibility remains that
stratus will move over the terminal from the east-southeast,
creating sub VFR cigs. The cigs may move off to the northeast or
remain over the terminal so a period of cigs just above VFR
level are included at this time. After 01z, winds back to the
northeast and north, gusting up to 30kts. Stratus that may have
moved northeast and away from the terminal will quickly move
over the terminal causing sub VFR cigs through the end of the
taf period. An approaching upper level trough will bring an
increasing chance for elevated showers and thunderstorms to the
terminal after about 02z. It is possible that severe
thunderstorms could impact the terminal with the primary hazard
being large hail.
KMCK...VFR conditions are expected through about 19z. A
northeast wind under 10kts at taf issuance will slowly veer to
the east at similar speeds through sunrise. From 15z-19z, east
winds increase with gusts up to 25kts. From 20z-01z, east winds
gusting up to 25, maybe 30kts continue with sub VFR clouds due
to stratus reaching the terminal from the south. There could be
a few rain showers as well around or over the terminal but
confidence in that is low. After 02z, winds shift to the
northeast with gusts up to 25kts. Sub VFR cigs continue along
with some fog/mist. Elevated thunderstorms will be possible and
similar to KGLD, severe thunderstorms are possible with large
hail the primary hazard.

NBM and HREF are in good agreement this morning with low clouds
in the 1000 to 2500ft AGL spreading into southwest Kansas after
09z this morning as an east southeast flow draws moisture back
into southwest Kansas. Satellite already indicating stratus was
trying to develop near the Oklahoma border as of 05z so may end
up being a little slow on the onset of this stratus at Dodge
City and Liberal. Will monitor this closely and update
accordingly. These low clouds will linger through the morning
but a warm front lifting north today will erode these low clouds
from south to north between 12z and 18z today. The exception
will be in the Hays area where low clouds are expected through
early Wednesday evening. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be
possible between 21z Wednesday and 03z Thursday but the
probability of it moving near any of the TAF sites are so low
will not include a mention of convection in the TAFs this
morning.

Primary aviation concern ahead is the potential for stratus at GUY
around 12z. At this time, confidence is too low to include a
ceiling but have continued to carry a SCT mention as a heads up.
While thunderstorms may occur in the eastern Panhandles Wednesday
afternoon and evening, at this time probability that these will
impact AMA/GUY appears too low for inclusion in the TAFs.

Southwest flow aloft will increase overnight through Wednesday and
result in gusty southwest winds at the surface. Gusts to between
30-35kts will be common across much of northeast NM Wednesday
afternoon and will impact KLVS. Otherwise, VFR conditions prevail
and are forecast to persist.
