Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday/...
Issued at 730 PM MDT Thu Aug 28 2025
Convection is nearly over at DIA this evening. The eastward
moving convection killed a decent boundary pushing towards the
airport from the northeast. Outflow winds gusted close to 40 knots
with the earlier convection and there was a brief period of heavy
rain. Models eventually show normal drainage wind patterns at DIA
by around 06Z. Will leave a VCFG in the TAF from 10Z-15Z early
Friday, however none of models are now showing any low Stratus,
low visibilities or northwesterly winds at the airport late
tonight into Friday morning. They all keep some sort of weak
drainage blowing well past sunrise. So no TEMPO fog for the 00Z
DEN TAF.

reduced CIGS and VIS as they pass the terminal. Low stratus will
then develop late tonight into Friday morning, with CIGS down
near 1 kft. A round of thunderstorms is forecast on Friday from
mid afternoon into the evening.
KPUB...low probability of a shower or thunderstorm at the

Showers will continue this evening, becoming more isolated by
sunset. More widespread shower activity is expected to move
southwest to northeast after 12Z Friday through the morning into
the early afternoon hours with most TAF sites seeing more
stratiform rain showers with some embedded thunderstorms
possible. Some storms may develop behind this wave by Friday
afternoon but convection should come to an end by 00Z Saturday
as drier air works in behind this wave. Expect VFR conditions
until 12Z with MVFR and potentially IFR due to lower cigs/vsby
with showers late Friday morning into the afternoon. Gusty winds
could accompany the shower activity.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 400 PM MDT Thu Aug 28 2025
Shower and thunderstorm chances continue this evening across a
majority of the area. Chances range from about 20% to 80%, with
PROB30 and prevailing rain shower/storm groups in the TAFs. Rain
chances will be on a decreasing trend between after 00z. Any
shower or storm could bring brief category drops to MVFR due to
heavy rain and lower clouds/ceilings.
Fog is again possible around KLND and KRIW tonight. We have
elected to go with vicinity for now as a lot depends on exact
positioning of any shower or thunderstorm activity.
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.

A stratus deck is forecast to continue for a large portion of
the TAF period, with MVFR currently observed at the terminals
and further reductions expected. Fog will be possible
overnight, with the higher confidence at KMCK. KGLD could see
some patchy fog, however slightly higher wind speeds (between
5-9kts) may hinder any lasting effects. Ceilings and
visibilities will continue to drop further into MVFR and even
IFR status until after ~14Z for KGLD and ~19Z for KMCK when they
return to VFR.

MVFR cigs in vicinity of all TAF sites due to prevailing low
level stratus are expected to drop to IFR generally after 03-05Z
as the stratus deck lowers overnight. East-southeast winds will
persist through early Friday as surface high pressure drifts
east through the Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes Region.

VFR conditions to start the TAF period, with MVFR/IFR conditions
expected tonight as low clouds start to move into the Panhandles.
Cigs in the 500-1200ft agl range can be expected with lower cigs
in the 10 to 14z time period. Winds will also go from
northeasterly to nearly light and variable before shifting
southerly around 5 to 10kts toward the end of the TAF period.

A few isolated thunderstorms continue to progress east to
southeast over parts of eastern NM, mainly b/w KRTN and KTCC and
near KROW this hour. This activity is waning and should subside
over the next couple of hours. Otherwise scattered to broken mid-
level ceilings will persist over central and western NM well into
tonight as increasing cloud cover moves in from the west. The
stalled frontal boundary across eastern NM progresses westward
tonight, bringing a weak east canyon wind to KSAF and KABQ.
MVFR/IFR ceilings are expected to redevelop over much of eastern
NM tonight, mainly along and north of a line from KCVN to K0E0.
Have included mention of this at KLVS and KTCC. These ceilings
will persist long into Friday morning before dissipating mid-day.
Thereafter, afternoon thunderstorms will favor development along
the central mountain chain. These storms will track east toward
the TX border bringing localized and brief MVFR conditions as they
go through the afternoon and early evening.
