Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday/...
Issued at 1204 PM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024
VFR conditions expected for the TAF period. SE to SSE winds this
afternoon at 07-11 kts. The highest chances for showers and
thunderstorms likely stay south of BJC and just south of DEN. Put in
a VCTS for DEN after 22Z. At APA, where it is more likely, there
is a TEMPO for TSRA. This will extend through early evening.
Collapsing showers and storms may result in brief variable gusty
outflows. With most activity to the south and southwest, this may
push the more collective outflow from that direction. Enhanced
southerly flow expected this evening with a few gusts 25-30kts
overnight. Winds become light and variable Sunday morning becoming
light N to NNE in the afternoon. There is a chance for scattered
showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon (after 21Z).

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1135 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024
For KCOS and KPUB..VFR conditions are expected for the next few
hours early this afternoon, before showers and thunderstorms begin
to push off the terrain and near or over both stations after 23Z
this afternoon. MVFR conditions during thunderstorms will be
possible, along with gusty and erratic thunderstorm winds from
around 00Z through 06Z this evening. MVFR and IFR ceilings and
visibilities are also expected from 06Z through around 14-16Z
tomorrow morning due to stratus and upslope conditions, and could
persist longer at KCOS.
For KALS..VFR conditions are expected for the next 24 hours, with a
slight chance for vicinity showers and weak thunderstorms this
afternoon, mainly from 23Z until 03Z. Winds are expected to be
mostly light today, but could be gusty and variable near
thunderstorm activity later this evening.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1121 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024
Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage this
afternoon. Any showers and storms that form will be capable of
producing gusty and erratic winds, frequent lightning, and brief
heavy rain. Following HRRR guidance, included VCTS or -TSRA on
station for many TAF sites. Will amend as necessary as the
afternoon continues. Brief MVFR is possible under and near any
of the stronger showers or cells with widespread VFR expected.
ILS breakpoints may also be met near the stronger convection.
Activity will diminish, though probably not completely end,
after sunset.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1121 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024
Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage this
afternoon. Any showers and storms that form will be capable of
producing gusty and erratic winds, frequent lightning, and brief
heavy rain. Following HRRR guidance, included VCTS or -TSRA on
station for many TAF sites. Will amend as necessary as the
afternoon continues. Brief MVFR is possible under and near any
of the stronger showers or cells with widespread VFR expected.
ILS breakpoints may also be met near the stronger convection.
Activity will diminish, though probably not completely end,
after sunset.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Smoke or haze from wildfires from the west
will have the potential to reduce visibilities at the terminal today
with otherwise VFR conditions expected. A light southerly wind is
forecast through much of the morning hours with potential for
briefly breezy southerly winds late morning. A northwest wind shift
is expected early to mid afternoon. Overnight, look for gusty
southerly winds with gusts at or exceeding 20 knots.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Across much of Utah
today, smoke or haze from wildfires from the west may reduce
visibilities at area terminals. Early this morning, easterly winds
are forecast for LGU and OGD bringing some gusty conditions.
Conditions are expected to shift more southwesterly by early this
afternoon. Elsewhere, diurnal wind shifts are forecast today. VFR
conditions are forecast except where isolated showers and
thunderstorms are possible across eastern Utah this afternoon.
Visibility may drop as a result in heavy rain.

VFR conditions will prevail through the period. There is a low
chance (less than 20%) of a shower or thunderstorm near KRKS this
afternoon and early evening, but confidence is not high enough to
keep mention of this in the TAF for now. Otherwise, wind will
generally remain on the lighter through this evening. The exception
will be at KCPR which will see a gusty easterly wind from around 0Z
to 06Z. Then, southwesterly wind will begin increasing at most
terminals late Sunday morning.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts.

Fairly quiet weather expected today with a modest southerly
breeze at KLAR and KCYS, and a few showers or very weak
thunderstorms developing near Wyoming terminals. Can`t rule out
brief light to moderate rain and some gusty winds, but this
activity will be pretty isolated. A strong low-level jet will
develop tonight, with gusts of 30 to 40 knots possible at most
terminals between this evening and Sunday morning. There is a
slight chance for some low clouds Sunday morning, mainly near
KCYS, KSNY, and KAIA, but the probability is too low to add to
the TAF at this time.

VFR to IR conditions forecast for the TAFs. Breezy northeast
winds will continue to turn to the southeast through the day as
the surface high pressure slides southeast across Nebraska.
After 12z Sunday MVFR to IFR ceilings will move in from the
south over KGLD. KMCK should be far enough east to not have
these ceilings move over until after 18z.
Am expecting thunderstorm activity tonight to remain south of
the TAF sites.

Think that Colorado storms will mainly stay across the Colorado border
this evening. Attention then turns to the overnight period. WAA/elevated
showers and storms are expected across the terminals though the overnight.
Will include VCTS/CB groups in the TAFs to account for this activity.
Locally reduced cigs down to IFR or MVFR will be possible as lower
cigs linger through the morning hours. Winds will be NE to E 5-15
kt.

Two concerns for this TAF cycle include thunderstorms in the area
and late night and morning low CIGS. Abundant moisture will
interact with a soon to be stalling frontal boundary and upper
level disturbance to produce at least SCT TSTMS by late aftn or
early evening. Initial storms will be near the boundary near or
just north of Amarillo, with better chances spreading behind the
front into the northern Panhandles in the evening and overnight
hours. All sites have potential for impacts, but DHT and GUY have
greatest chances and some storms in the area will have potential
to produce SVR level winds and localized flooding. Low CIGs near
IFR ranges are expected to spread into the area behind the front
in NE flow across the northeast Panhandles and GUY has high enough
probability for IFR CIGs that this has been included in the TAF
Sun morning. Some MVFR visibility is also expected again mainly
near GUY and adjacent areas to the E/NE.

A backdoor cold front has pushed through northeast NM this morning
and is currently positioned just south of a KCQC to KTCC line.
Moist upslope flow behind this front will allow showers and
thunderstorms to develop along and east of the Central Mt Chain
this afternoon. Severe storms are possible, with large hail
possible initially, but impacts will transition to damaging winds
and heavy rainfall which may result vsby. Areas along and east of
the Sangre de Cristo and Sandia Mts to the OK and TX borders have
the best chances at severe weather this afternoon and evening with
heavy rainfall potentially lasting through 12Z. Outflow may push
an east wind through the gaps of the Central Mt Chain at KSAF and
KABQ tonight, but latest model guidance suggest that outflow from
storms elsewhere may interfere with a strong gap wind. Thus, it
may be more moderate in nature or winds may be from the N or NW.
Additional storms will develop this afternoon across both western
and north central NM as well with brief cig and/or vsby reductions
possible. Storms across western NM will diminish around sunset.
Low cigs are likely across NE NM overnight.
