Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday/...
Issued at 1129 PM MDT Fri Jun 28 2024
Cold front imminent in next 1-2 hrs for Denver metro, and will
bring shift to north winds with gusts up to 20 kts at times.
Expect reduction in speeds after 1 to 2 hours post-front, with
generally north flow prevailing still. Some low clouds 025-035 may
trickle in after ~09Z Sat, but suspect any CIGS would be on the
patchier side, with better chances from KDEN eastward into the
plains. Any low cloud cover should dissipate near 16-17Z.
Winds will be out of the southeast for most of the day tomorrow.
Scattered convection will develop mid afternoon, with greater
coverage immediately due south of Denver. Leaning on bulk of
convection remaining south of KDEN, but do believe stronger TS are
possible relative to yesterday, so have replaced VCSH with VCTS
or -TSRA in TEMPO (terminal-dependent). Some outflow winds
possible (favoring southerly direction), but expect outflow threat
to be less than previous days. As convection moves into the
southeast plains, more robust south flow will take hold in the
evening and overnight, when gusts have a higher potential of
exceeding 30 kts. Also monitoring for potential intrusion of low
to mid-level cloud cover Saturday night under a moist environment,
but confidence is low.

Issued at 1139 PM MDT Fri Jun 28 2024
Weather is expected to be rather active during this forecast
period, especially for KCOS and KPUB. First, a rather strong
cold front is going to come down the eastern plains tonight,
crossing KCOS around 09 UTC and KPUB at 10 UTC. Wind could gusts
to 35 to 40 knots (or briefly higher), with the winds only
slowly decreasing and gradually veering to easterly then
southeasterly by late morning. Second, a strong band of showers
and thunderstorms are expected to cross over the KPUB and KCOS
taf sites around 00 UTC late tomorrow afternoon, with locally
heavy rain and possibly some hail. Strong gusty winds from the
northwest are likely with the storms.
AT KALS, VFR is likely through nearly all of the fcst
period, with some TSRA being possible during tomorrow
afternoon.

Issued at 1100 PM MDT Fri Jun 28 2024
Scattered showers and thunderstorms have persisted longer than
earlier anticipated with storms currently impacting KGJT and
threatening to move into KMTX by within the hour. There`s a
chance storms coming off the La Sals will reach KTEX, but didn`t
have the confidence to include at this time. Despite showers, VFR
conditions are expected for all TAF sites during the next 24
hours. Storms will dissipate this evening with clearing occurring
overnight. The region will see fewer showers and thunderstorms
on Saturday afternoon. Winds will shift to a light drainage flow
early this morning, switching to normal upslope flow on Saturday
afternoon.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1100 PM MDT Fri Jun 28 2024
Scattered showers and thunderstorms have persisted longer than
earlier anticipated with storms currently impacting KGJT and
threatening to move into KMTX by within the hour. There`s a
chance storms coming off the La Sals will reach KTEX, but didn`t
have the confidence to include at this time. Despite showers, VFR
conditions are expected for all TAF sites during the next 24
hours. Storms will dissipate this evening with clearing occurring
overnight. The region will see fewer showers and thunderstorms
on Saturday afternoon. Winds will shift to a light drainage flow
early this morning, switching to normal upslope flow on Saturday
afternoon.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will continue tonight and tomorrow
with dry weather and generally clear conditions. Northwest winds up
to 10kts this afternoon will pivot to southeast between 3Z and 6Z.
South to southwest winds are expected by mid-morning tomorrow,
likely in the 10 to 15 knot range. There is uncertainty in the
timing of stronger south to southwest winds developing, with a 50%
chance of this change occurring by 15Z.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Scattered cumulus
over the higher terrain east of US-89, with a few embedded showers
and thunderstorms, will continue through the early evening before
dissipating. Elsewhere, expect generally clear conditions with light
winds. Similar conditions are expected tomorrow with a further
downward trend in cumulus/shower/thunderstorm activity. Stronger
southerly sustained winds of 10-20 knots with gusts to around 25 kts
will develop by tomorrow afternoon.

VFR conditions for all southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle
airports today. Expect a few thunderstorms today mainly over
the mountains. Two main airports impacted by these
showers/storms will be KCYS and KLAR. Southeast winds return to
the Panhandle and southeast Wyoming plains late tonight which
could also increase chances for low level moisture. For now...it
looks like low clouds do not develop in the Panhandle until
after 12Z Sunday.

VFR conditions will prevail with increasing mid level
cloudiness. There may be an isolated thunderstorm around the HYS
terminal shortly after 06Z and have placed VCTS to account for
this. Winds will generally be from the northeast throughout the
day, gusting to over 20 knots this afternoon.

TAFs are mostly VFR for the 06Z period. Thunderstorms are
possible at all sites today, and may bring impacts starting in
the afternoon for AMA and later into the night for DHT and GUY.
Confidence is high enough to introduce PROB30 groups at all sites
today. Winds will be breezy from the north for DHT and GUY this
afternoon after a front moves through. Gusts up to 25 kts are
possible.

A backdoor cold front approaching the NM-CO line near KTAD as of
this writing will move south into northeast New Mexico overnight,
bringing a north to northeasterly wind shift. Air behind the
front is rich with Gulf moisture and with upslope flow developing
on the east faces of the central mountain chain Saturday, a
notable increase in strong to severe storms is expected Saturday
afternoon. Slow moving storms will be capable of torrential
rainfall, small hail, gusty and erratic wet downburst winds, and
brief reductions to ceilings and visibility.
