Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion
Issued at 0630 UTC Friday, August 29, 2025
.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1227 AM MDT Fri Aug 29 2025
VFR conditions are expected in the Denver area through Friday.
Areas of low clouds or fog are likely in the South Platte valley
north and northeast of Denver, but the probability of impacts for
the Denver terminals is less than 20%. Scattered thunderstorms are
expected again after 21z. Localized MVFR conditions in heavy rain
showers and wind shifts with gusts to 30 knots are the most likely
impacts, but coverage of these impacts will be limited.

Southwest to west winds near 10 to 12 kts are forecast for Friday
afternoon. A few showers are possible across the San Luis Valley,
but confidence in one hitting the terminal is low.
KCOS and KPUB...a few low clouds are forecast at KCOS overnight,
near 1 kft. These will likely prevail into Friday morning. CIGS at
KPUB look to remain near 6 kft into Friday morning. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected at both terminals after around 20z, and
prevail into the evening. Reduced CIGS and VIS along with gusty
outflow winds will be possible with any storms that move across the
terminals. Mozley

Cloud cover will invade this morning, leading to lower ceilings,
developing rain showers, and thunderstorms by afternoon.
Terminals will deal with variable conditions as
showers/thunderstorms ebb and flow. Breakpoint conditions are
expected for most terminals. Drier conditions begin to develop
from the northwest southward this evening and most terminals are
expected to close out this period with VFR conditions. However,
some shower/cloud activity will linger near the Divide. KHDN,
KEGE, KASE, and KGUC could see some effects into early Saturday
morning.

.AVIATION...Friday 29/06Z through Saturday 30/06Z...Expect VFR
conditions and WDSPRD CIGS from 10-12kft AGL through 14Z-18Z Friday.
CIGS becoming more scattered by Friday afternoon. ISOLD-SCT -SHRA
possible most locations, but especially N and NW of KFLG during the
same time period. Then, SCT -SHRA/-TSRA INVOF the White Mtns AFT 19Z
Friday. Sfc winds not expected to affect flight operations.
OUTLOOK...Saturday 30/06Z through Monday 01/06Z...Expect mainly VFR
conditions. ISOLD-SCT SHRA/-TSRA from 19Z-02Z each day may produce
brief MVFR. Convective activity primarily INVOF the White Mtns, but
may spread NE toward the KFLG terminal. Away from any convective
gust activity, sfc winds are not expected to affect flight
operations.

through the period. Scattered mid level clouds with isolated
afternoon convection with only a small (20% chance) of a brief
shower moving over the terminal. Otherwise, winds will be light
and diurnally driven.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will persist
for the entire airspace through the period. Isolated weak
afternoon convection for the central and northern airspace will
dissipate this evening. Tropical moisture will move into the
southern airspace overnight bring light stratiform rain and
lowered CIGs, but conditions should remain VFR. Light and
diurnally driven winds areawide.

VFR conditions are expected for all TAF sites most of the night.
A few showers may occur in vicinity of KCOD, but conditions are
expected to remain VFR. Fog is again possible around KLND and
KRIW tonight. We have elected to go with vicinity for now as it
is not a certainty. The most likely time would be from 11Z
through 16Z Friday.Largely VFR conditions are expected on
Friday. Isolated convection is possible again in the northern
TAF sites (mainly in vicinity of KWRL and KCOD) but the chance
is much less than today, mainly less than 1 out of 3 at any spot
so we have elevated to go with PROB30 groups for now rather
than prevailing.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Ceilings are generally trending lower across the region with
prevailing IFR conditions expected shortly at KGLD and KMCK.
IFR ceilings at KGLD may be temporarily interrupted through 09z
by light rain spreading downstream of thunderstorms in eastern
Colorado. The best chance for LIFR conditions is at KMCK closer
to daybreak, but confidence is not high enough to include a
mention of prevailing LIFR ceilings. Conditions across the
region will improve with daytime heating after 14z.

Considerable amount of moisture remains in place. Therefore, cigs
and vis will be IFR through a combination of low cigs and patchy
fg/br and reduced visibility. Some improvement during the day is
expected. Winds will be fairly light and variable through the TAF
pd.

MVFR to IFR ceilings are forecast all sites tonight, holding
through the morning hours. There are low probabilities that
conditions could drop to LIFR levels at times, so temporary
amendments may be needed. Later this evening, showers and
thunderstorms will be possible at all sites, but timing needs to
be polished in upcoming TAF forecasts, so PROB30 groups have been
added. Winds will be out of the southeast most of the period at
5-10kts.

Multiple cloud layers and scattered showers will persist across
much of the area with increasing thunderstorm probabilities Friday
afternoon and evening, especially across eastern NM. Areas of low
stratus currently expanding across eastern NM will bring MVFR and
potentially short-lived IFR cigs to KLVS, KTCC and possibly KROW
through Friday morning. MVFR conditions are possible in sct/num
thunderstorms Friday as well, especially along/east of the central
mountain chain.
