Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday/...
Issued at 553 PM MDT Tue Jun 17 2025
The threat of severe storms has subsided this evening, but some
showers still remain surrounding all the TAF sites early this
evening. We expect showers to be the main concern this evening
considering the area has been worked over pretty well through the
afternoon, and the airmass has begun to stabilize. Winds should
keep a northerly component as some heavier showers pass to the
north for the next few hours. Once showers subside (between 1-2Z),
we do not expect any CIG issues through the TAF period. The only
caveat would be if FG develops (~20% chance) in the early morning
hours as some hi-res guidance show a signal between 8-13Z.
However, with winds expected to turn to the south by this time,
the more likely scenario would be that it stays out of the TAF
sites with some aid from light downsloping off the Palmer Divide.
Light winds are expected through the day tomorrow with a normal
diurnal shift "around the horn" through the morning, becoming
easterly by the afternoon.

Main forecast challenges this period will be through early this
evening, as isolated to widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms will continue to develop over and near COS and PUB
through 2z this evening. Have highest confidence for this
development over COS, where latest radar imagery is showing
storms still developing just to the southwest and south. For
PUB, kept the PROB30 going given the lower confidence for
development. After this evening, the remainder of the forecast
period will then be relatively quiet. Don`t anticipate any
significant weather at ALS this period. The gusty westerly winds
at ALS at this time will see a quick wind shift to the east
this evening, but then become lighter through the evening.
Winds will continue to be variable at COS and PUB through this
evening, as several outflow boundaries are still in place. Will
see lighter winds also settle in later this evening into the
overnight hours.

Breezy conditions will continue through the next 2-3 hours
across the area, with gusts up to 20 knots possible. Winds will
decrease after that point, becoming generally light and terrain
driven. Expect similar conditions tomorrow afternoon. The few
light showers that developed earlier this afternoon have already
dissipated, and mostly clear skies will prevail through the next
24 hours, along with VFR conditions.

concerns today have mainly been limited to terminals east of the
Continental Divide with ongoing convection. This activity will be on
the decrease through sunset, with gusty outflow winds the primary
concern. Otherwise, the breezy wind west of the Divide will wane
with sunset, leaving clearing skies and calmer conditions everywhere
through Wednesday morning. As high pressure builds, Wednesday will
be dry and mostly sunny, with a breezy west wind at KBPI, KPNA, and
KRKS.

At GLD, the primary concern will be the potential for redeveloping
thunderstorm activity capable of producing periods of IFR visibilities
and lower ceilings to around 2000 feet. Gusty winds over 30 knots
could also be a concern as the storms move through. The primary
threat for thunderstorm activity at GLD will be between 00z and 02z.
By 03z, the convective threat should be over and a much drier and
more stable airmass will begin to move into the area. This will
result in prevailing VFR conditions from 03z through the end of the
TAF period.
At MCK, the convective threat is substantially lower this evening
due to the very stable rain-cooled airmass in place. At most,
some passing light rain showers could push visibility down to MVFR
range for a few hours between 01z and 06z. Light boundary layer
flow around daybreak tomorrow will combine with higher soil moisture
content to support some patchy fog development between 10z and 14z.
The boundary layer will fully mix out after 14z resulting in
prevailing VFR conditions.

Satellite and surface observations at 22z depict widespread MVFR
stratus across SW KS, in a post frontal environment with E/NE
surface winds. The expectation is for these ceilings to
gradually improve to VFR through tonight. Scattered
thunderstorms are likely to develop overnight, 00-12z Wed, but
with confidence very low on placement, and with storms possibly
remaining east of the airports, kept this set of TAFs dry. TAF
convective amendments are possible overnight. Elevated northeast
winds gusting to near 25 kts as of 22z will weaken quickly and
trend to light northwest through tonight. Excellent flying
weather is expected Wednesday with VFR/SKC and light winds.

VFR conditions will continue to prevail through the TAF period.
Winds have shifted out of the north at all sites and should remain
that way through the period. Winds this evening should be around
10-15kts and gusts to around 25-30kts. The gusts should diminish
this evening but sustained winds of around 10kts should occur
overnight.

A stray strong to severe storm cannot be ruled out through
sunset, but prospects are quite low. Large hail and damaging winds
would accompany any storm that does develop this evening. A
surface boundary has entered northeastern New Mexico and will
spill into the remainder of the eastern half of the state through
the late evening. This boundary will generate low stratus clouds
as it moves into portions of the east central plains and upslope
areas on the east side of the central mountain chain. Fleeting
MVFR (less than 3,000 feet) and very sparse IFR (less than 1,000
feet) ceilings will be found late tonight through dawn Wednesday
near KRTN, KLVS, KTCC, KCVN, KCQC, KROW, and KSRR. Low clouds will
burn off through mid to late morning Wednesday. A few cumulus
will struggle to build up over the mountains Wednesday afternoon,
but any showers or thunderstorms that develop should remain rather
weak, producing more evaporating rainfall (virga) and gusty winds
rather than any reduction to ceiling/visibility.
